So, I've been a long time fan of Makita. My dad used it as I was a kid (he uses dewalt now) Ive been fond of makita and used them for the last 5 years. Only a few of their tools though... I understand some of their stuff cost's a tad more than others... but its worth it to me. They're also not owned by anyone else like most other tool companies..
Im in the market for a cordless jigsaw..... At home depot this morning looking around... I see dewalt, $179..... get to the Rigid tools, $129..... ok, not bad.... Makita....... $238.... WTF (all 3 are brushless, all 3 are tool only)
For the first time... Im debating on letting go of Makita and switching over to Rigid. Lifetime warranty on batteries and lifetime parts/service for the tools. Not bad.
