I've had bosch , metabo , dewalt , hitachi , and makita ! Been using makita for a year now and it's a good light machine , ample power , easy on the hand , only downside for me is the on/off switch, sticks a lot ! Bosch was lightest and smallest in the hand , great power great machine ! Dewalt I found to heavy and clumsy ! For me , when my makita burns out I'll buy another bosch !
