Hellmanns I dont know for sure how old you are.
Do you remember the cheap Black and Decker saws they sold for 19.95 back in the 70's?
Everyone was snapping them up.
But even then 19.95 was a heck of a lot of money in the 70's.

As for Makitas they made good stuff.
Here is a little known fact about Japan.
Much of the stuff they sold that they shipped over seas was junk from some place else.
The stuff they sold in their country was made in their country and it was better.
Pentax cameras that were made in Japan had all metal bodies and they were sold in Japan.
Their exports were made in China or elsewhere and sold in the US.
They had no problem ripping off the rest of the world by doing this.
This is the old Pentax K 1000 the work horse of manual cameras.

I was born in the 60's, but remember a lot of tools being a carpenters son. I remember the Black & Decker that was sold in department type stores, it was a tan color, and I think it had a short cord. I also remember a nice shiny heavy duty B&D, that came in a metal box. My dads work partner had one.
