The cheap Makita stuff is every bit as bad as the Craftsman low end
stuff. Cheap Bosch stuff too.

I still own the inexpensive Makita drill and circular saw I purchased
~20 years ago. They both still work just fine, though both have been
through some pretty tough use.

Ya guess I got the best of a bad design?

Me, neither.

In that time, I have 'used up' a cheap B&D 3/8" drill, a more expensive
Sears 1/2" drill, a cheap impact wrench and a couple Skil circular saws.
Didn't take long, either.

My 'King Kong' (Really) drill press and Enco (bad old days) belt sander
both keep on chooglin. I do not know why.
