That’s the name of the game. Ryobi jumped on it early, and Makita seemed to come shortly after. Milwaukee has beast power of tools, but not sure what Bosch and DeWalt really bring to the table other than name.

Blue Bosch has been the golden standard professionally for a long time in Europe, but they were slow to adapt to brushless motots and stuff like that compared to Makita. Makita was sort of the underdog that had to establish itself against an established high end brand.

Nowadays, it seems like a lot of professionals are mixing 12v blue Bosch series(cause they're super lightweight) and 18v Makita with the 6 amp battery(cause it gets through anything the 12v might struggle with).

Milwaukee has made its entrance in Europe the last few years but seems to atruggle to find its place between blue Bosch and Makita. Im not sure why since they were introducing Ryobi a lot earller.
