I be go to purchase a Bosch that be similar to the Makita . the review be less than favorable for the Bosch . I have use the Makita in my handyman business . the long cord that come standard be so convenient , it be about 20 ' long . I do not have to look for a extension cord every time I want to use it . it have plenty of power , the dust collection bag be good , it will hook up to my collection system I have in my shop with no modification . Belt change be a breeze . this be one fine tool that be ready to work from the moment you remove it from its packaging . I be sure happy with it and would buy another one if the need arise .
