Quite a good looking tool (and possibly even by the original
maunfacturer as a moonlighter.) The downside is there is no Makita
warranty and they will break down sooner rather than later. On the
other hand if they are quite close patterns then they aint toys.

No Makita warranty? I see that as a plus. I will not touch anything made by
Makita because of their lousy/non existent after sales service (I am
referring to Makita themselves, not their resellers who can be superb).
