Makita are medium trade at most. Hilti is the real McCoy when it
comes to on site industrial power tank like tools.

Hilti actually offers quite a broad range of tools in the U.S., some
good and some questionable. They haven't differentiated tools at
different levels which is unwise.

Questionable? Matt, you had never heard of them until I told you.

Don't be silly. Home Depot has a large selection of Hilti product
and not all of it is of high quality. Take a look at HD's web site,

Matt, you wouldn't know if it is high quality or not. Hilti do not
make crap.

Take a look at the price ranges for similar tools.

Matt, you wouldn't know if it is high quality or not. Hilti do not make
crap.

I didn't say that they made crap, I said that not all of it is of high
quality. That is not the same thing. Nobody has suggested that Hilti's
high end industrial products are not of good construction and durability.
Their small cordless tools are nothing special for example.

I gave an example of their pistol grip battery impact drill. Nothing else
is like it. A mains Makita SDS will not outdo it in brick up to 6mm. Not
cheap though!!! A true professional tool - and made in China like all other
major tools, except Kress and Sparky.
