Not sure what this means.Personally I love Makita.
Been issued them at work as a technician.
These things keep going, my hammer drill with lighter use is a decade old and still operates like new.
Hammer drill lasted 6yrs and only its electronic brake failed but since I needed precise braking and not freespin, I got it replaced. With a pre-owned replacement, got 4yrs into it and still going strong and I use it 5 days a week.
My original battery lasted about 8yrs for one and 6yrs for the other before starting to die far quicker.
They are used in all weather conditions year round, dropped where I though they would surely be dead, freezing overnight Temps and used in triple digits till the jobs done...
They might not be the fastest in online head to head competitions but from my experience, they are durable and well built...
Speaking from trade-specific, I saw years ago a guy using a Makita deck gun.. a long shafted (so you could use it standing up), self-feeding screw gun and then a Makita rebar tyer that contained the spool of wire. It'd tie and then cut automatically. Pretty cool.Depends on use imo. The Milwaukee impact and ratchet are a must have for automotive work. That ratchet is the best tool in my box and I wrench a lot, not as a tech but a lot. Unless it is daily use in a professional setting or specific trade, Roybi will suit 90% of homeowners. As a lineman, Milwaukee makes some trade specific tools that are second to none.
While I don't have the 24kt gold one I have a few of the HF Icon ratchets. They are very good to excellent as are several of the Icon branded hand tools, great for the money.I saw a 24-carat gold plated ratchet at Harbor Freight today.
