How DeWalt compares
These are the makes buyers actually cross-shop against DeWalt.
DeWalt vs Makita
One of the two cordless platforms most British trades have already committed to, and battery platform lock-in is the real story in power tools - once a van is full of LXT batteries, the next tool is usually a Makita too.
DeWalt vs Hilti
The professional end, sold on a direct model with tool fleet management rather than over a merchant counter. Contractors choose it for breaking, coring and anchoring where downtime costs more than the tool does.
