Makita or dewalt

Bosch slim grinder thin body and the lightest easiest grinder to manoeuvre. Just about every thing else is makita.
 
I've read a lot about this online this past while and it seems to be pretty neck and neck.
Makita are apparently better built inside but their batteries used to give trouble and Bosch tested them under use and pointed out the way they heat up under load which is the killer for Li-on. Dewalt has cheaper parts inside but have no battery issues. There's a YouTube channel by a guy called AvE and he is a tool engineer and takes all tools back to nothing, he's a bit mad to listen to but he knows what he's talking about and explains in great detail the quality of build in most common tools.
He reckons Dewalt Makita, Milwaukee are all mid range and are designed to just last 3 years under standard use and then fail so you buy new ones, whereas Hilti is king followed closely buy Fesstool and Metabo, he's worth a view
 
I use Makita but Dewalt are changing the game with their new range of flex volt tools, they have a 60v battery out with full range due October.
 
I've got a fair few cordless tools from the dewalt XR range, all brilliant and the batteries have exceptional run time, especially the 4 and 5ah.
 
I've just got myself a bargain off eBay

couldn't sleep it's boiling so thought I'd have a browse and there she was calling my name
 
Had to invest in a little adapter to take it from.half inch square to a standard hex fitting and bam I have my self a best of a impact driver not just a wrench

Just to have another name on the list has anyone used the fein tools other than the multimaster ? I'd hazard a guess they must be real good quality or am I wrong ?
