Ok so I am a retired building trades union member, back in 2008 I was on a new sports stadium project that ran from 2006 and opened in 2010 , the first day I got on the job I went to the usual safety,drug testing and orientation ,I was told if your power tools were made by any other company then Makita send them back to your shop ,they will not be allowed on this project , I had to send back 2 gang boxes of power tools and the owner of the company had to replace every power tool with Makita branded tools , Most of all the tools that were replaced were Milwaukee power tools. and this was for every trade on the site we are talking hundreds of men with power tools.
