Latest Chinese pro/industrial handtools from DongCheng (DCK in west) basically on par with topshelf like Makita in performance and feel for 50% the price. They've closed gap. Probably one of those sectors where legacy brands are on their way out. Tools are getting better and cheaper but obfuscated behind market segmentation in different regions.

Pseudo related is I really enjoy well designed lifestyle DIY tool brands like HOTO, started with slick electric screw drivers for building PCs, and now pretty DIY kits that's nice to look at on small projects.
