thanks... yeah.. the one Makita is US made and seems nice in my hands... the other (the impact) is also nice and compact but made in China.. I can't afford to go with the Air tools yet, but that's the ultimate goal.. these will have to do for stop gap.

The Hilti look great, but would leave me no money for the hand tools alas! Heck, they don't even give you a price.. only do "quote" pricing.. sounds like a "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" price.. ;-)

I set a hard budget for this re-work of the garage, and gotta stick to it.
