Bosch, maybe? The professional line (the blue ones, not the green). I have an angular grinder and a small cordless drill from them. They’re great, but I usually find their tools a bit expensive, I bought both on sale. At normal price I would’ve went for another brand probably (a friend of mine has a Milwaukee that’s almost identical to my drill, similar price, purchased at the same time, but kinda nicer than my Bosch), I still swear by them and they’ll gonna last forever most likely, tho.

And of course, Hilti. I don’t own any, because they’re quite pricey and I don’t need that much power for my personal stuff. But at work, for heavy duty work it’s literally the gold standard. In that context the most expensive thing is your tools getting in the way of getting your job done. So if budget is not a problem go for it.

Makita has damn good quality too, tho. So I wouldn’t take them out of the question. But I’m probably one of the less nationalistic persons you can find, and find these attempts to build up European nationalism supper funny.

And, also, a good taking apart, cleaning, oiling/greasing, a putting together again (maybe new bearings, or cords, or whatever, if needed) makes wonders for old tools, if they were built well to start with, of course. Because, let’s be honest, European corporations are not that much better than American ones, so even better if you can avoid giving them your hard earned money too.
