SailDesign, I'm astonished; I didn't know you could make/receive comments in the gallery! Any drill is ok in the Cordless Canoe Challenge but Makita sponsor it. I never won a major prize but a kind fellow competitor donated his 2nd First Prize to me so I now have a fine collection of both Bosch and Makita.
@alan craig - I only read about it in WaterCraft (my niece used to work there) so all I have seen is the "Makita" written everywhere. I agree with you - Bosch is better anyway.
