Hitachi/Makita/Metabo (Metabo is Hitachi) Some bosch sometimes. I think the saw stop is nice for table saws after using it in a hackerspace, saw it save enough people from losing fingers it seems like a good idea. For woodworking and gardening I mostly use cheap (but not knockoffs from amazon) japanese tools, as long as you clean the blades and keep them sharp they are a really good value.

Thought I’d be alone to admitting using Hitachi/Metabo HPT. They kinda suck but get light duty stuff done and they don’t cost much, especially if you buy gray market versions.

Metabo HPT is called Hikoki outside of USA afaik. Only seen them at hardware stores but I remember the DV18DD being remarkably quiet for an 18V brushless drill driver, even compared to the competitors’ smaller models. In what way do they suck? At least here they are in the same price range as Makita and Dewalt.
