but the Makita sander was rubbish - the velcro pad kept needing to be replaced as the slightest amount of dust between the pad and the sandpaper rendered it useless. So I got a Ryobi... still going strong - can't kill it! Rest of my tools are Makita or Ryobi.
The only petrol powered tools I have are the mower, Briggs & Stratton... just won't stop and my 8kva generator.
I read somewhere that the red Ozito tools in Bunnings are actually manufactured by Milwaukee.
I am only a very spasmodic DIYer these days but I have owned a red Ozito drill for many years and it has been very good.
Not by milwaukee, but the company that owns milawuakee owns them and aeg and ryobi....and something else.
Its the same as car manufacturers these days, multiple brands owned by 1 parent company.
Ozito stuff is fine for diy-ers and occassional use. My old man got some and was saying how good they were. I put it up against the milwaukee and he was left embarrassed....but for what he needed, it wss perfect.
Same with aeg.
Same with ryobi.
They all do the job 'good enough' 99% of the time. Its the 1% that tradies pay for.
Its like a commodore vs a bmw vs a ferrari vs a bugatti.
Each one is fine in itself, but there is always something a bit better, which is a bit more expensive.

One Nation may be seen to keep some undesirables out of the country...but will they bring your grocery prices down.
Don't you mean keep some undesirables in the country?
Most of the time I find hand tools plenty quick enough for most jobs. E.g fencing...a brace and good auger keeps smashing through Redgum posts long after all the batteries are kaputt.I have to say, at least for smaller jobs around the home I've been going the same way myself. There is zero noise, and my joints don't feel the plain the next day!
On top of this I've regained a lot of temporarily lost skills, I can sharpen bits, knives and axes now to shaving sharp with little to no effort. Lately I've been searching for old style saws, no carbide teeth, I recently bought a secondhand sawtooth setting tool, and I already have the files needed to resharpen.
What's the point of spending 2hrs at gym to use a cordless drill for 30s, I hate gym, I'd much rather be at home and use the brace, an axe or a hand saw?
I still use my 650W corded AEG drill for masonry work, it's 20 years old and still got power the battery models only dream about, the new Bosch Bulldog Brushless goes close, by why bother when the AEG is still going strong.

Lennon actually liked them as a comedy act and was a fan of their TV stuff but didnt see them as serious musicians...unlike somebody I know🤔😀
What's wrong with the Monkees
Yep Trump got in because Americans doing it tough got desperate enough to try any alternative and again he promised simplistic solutions to difficult problems. I think it was John Lennon who said in reference to the TV band "The Monkees"people will buy anything if you market it well enough or words to that effect..
