    Curious if the brand new ones will last then. I’ve had a few friends say that the new ones break more easily than their old ones but that is also anecdotal.

      Could also depend on how they’re are used and treated. Some of my friends theirs don’t last long at all with how they use them.

      If it works for you and how you use it, then it’s the right tool.

        Depends on which line of Makita you buy into I think. I have a right angle drill and the “good” angle grinder from them (not that xlock bullshit) and both get moderate use. Both are 5-ish years old and still work great.
