I was a de-Walt Bosch man too for long enough. After my van got tanned, I had to purchase all new tools. Already had the Makita Jigsaw & liked it. As it was just after Christmas, there was a good deal on the Makita gear. I got 2 of the Makita Drills you listed, jigsaw, planer & rip snorter. I quite like the drills though feels completely different from my dewalts & I feel there ain't as much high end torque as my DCD985L2 were but will do for now till I free up more cash & get my dewalts again. The rest of the gear ain't bad though but are 240v. That's a good kit & not bad price

Nothing wrong with Makita, Boss just got an SDS with pick function, knocks spots off the old De-Wault we burt out, I'm still happy with my old Bosch 24v with 2 x 18min charge batteries. As for the kit, he ummed and arred between Makita and De-Wault and recently got the 18v De-Wault kit, purely because we wouldn't use the bayonet saw or torch in the Makita kit, but everything in the De-Wault kit we would, the circular saw is the dogs wotsits and the jigsaw is good too. If I were a rich man all my power tools would be Festool, but I'm not.

Festool gear is fantastic. My router is. I wouldn't use another now. My Makita router was good but not a mark on the Festool. I agree, If I had the money, all my gear would be Festool also

Brilliant tools, I've got an SDS breaker/drill that I use for tile removal and mixing addy, it was 4 years old last month and still works perfectly.

I have three Hitachi drills/drivers that are four years old and a 2000w router that is seven years old. Never had a problem.
Most of the rest are newer, but it means that I know which tools are mine when I work with other tradesmen.They are quite distinctive.

 

[Ian]

Yeah, can't really miss the black and green! I've only ever seen one other person with a hitachi drill and that was a customer.

I was sub-contracted to IKE& when I started off kitchen fitting. Most of the best fitters used them.
