All I would add is that I've never been disappointed with Makita.

I've been pleased until now with my 9 year old mains Makita SDS,
however recently the brushes stated sparking. Replaced them, yes
easily obtained, unfortunately it was still sparking. Silly me I
hadn't spotted one of the commutator segments was shot. A new
armature costs about £50. Perhaps
not
statistically significant but I'm disappointed and will replace with a
mid-range, Erbauer perhaps, at little more cost than the cost of
replacement
Makita brushes and armature.

I know what you mean. A waste of time.
