i cite from popularmechanics.com:
As this graphic from PressureWashr.com shows, just 18 megabrands control 91 percent of the global power tools market. Of those, four companies control 48 percent.

I like how Hilti and Makita own… Hilti and Makita.
I like the hilti part
Inherited a Hilti Hammer drill from my dad that was used for basically everything in construction and demolition he ever did since before I was born - around 4 decades ago. It was and is the tool he and now me always go to when cheaper drills can’t deal with the problem. Be it hammering through super massive concrete walls or enduring hours-long destruction sessions, it just does the job.
Nowadays it looks like a utter piece of junk that got tumble dried with rocks, but it’s as reliable as on day one.
Good ol’ Makita. I got locked in to that battery ecosystem but I’m not disappointed about it much.
