All I can say is that the 200 odd hire shops I call on in my job tend
to sell DeWalt, but hire out Makita or Bosch.

Makita has a great reputation in the hire trade - which is a tough
place.

I asked the same thing at the local hire shop today, the reply was Makita or
Bosch. The reason they don't hire much Dewalt stuff is due to reliability
and endurance problems.

I also asked their opinion of the LS1013, that Andy Hall mentioned in his
post yesterday, they more or less confirmed what he said about quality and
accuracy.
