Makita is good stuff. I have a couple of corded tools, and in my working days worked on some bigger Makita equipment.

Milwaukee is the hot set up for the trades here. It's 2x DeWalt or Ryobi price, but it is really the 'cats ass' here. My guy here and my nephew in Washington both swear by Milwaukee. That's enough for me, but for the price difference I don't need the best. I am much more a hobbyist than a working man :)
