Hi,
To me it is important to get Western made or Japanese made tools, and it does not seem I am going to get them from Makita, Milwaukee, DeWALT, Bosch and Metabo. Also it is important to be on less battery platforms. Festool is good but does not have so many cordless tools, so it is also important to be able to get tools for different trades with one or less battery platform(s).
A lot of Bosch tools are made in China, but their battery can be used with Fein, Wagner, Cox, Rothenberger and Steinel tools, Cox cordless tools are made in UK, Rothenberger cordless tools are mainly made in Spain, Wagner cordless sprayer is made in Poland, Fein tools are mainly made in Germany, plus Bosch has a 6Ah battery with the same size as their 4Ah and 5Ah batteries, similar to Makita, but DeWALT does not offer that.
When it comes to Metabo, they do their tools in a few countries, Germany, Romania, China and I think Korea! But the idea is similar to the Bosch battery, with their battery you can use German made Mafell plung saw, Swiss made Lamello biscuit joiner, Romanian made cordless heat gun and glue gun, German made Trumpf sheet metal cutting tools, different types of German made Gesipa cordless riveters and etc.
Fein multitools are amazing with very less vibration compared to DeWALT and Makita ones, and if you are a regular user of this specific tool you better go for Fein or Festool (made by Fein) one.
It seems Europeans are more concerned about the environment compared to Americans, that is why you only see European brands (Bosch and Metabo) making battery alliances with a lot of other brands! Not American brands like Milwaukee or DeWALT and not the Japanese Makita.
I have the Makita Biscuit joiner (Made in UK), It is OK, I have to admit that Makita's UK made tools are average quality tools and only their Japanese made tools are high quality tools.
