Sales show that consumers have voted and they love it!! I guess its aimed at the younger market than the dewalt target range of 40-50yr olds!

I agree with Trevor, I'll stick with my yellow DeWalt. That looks cool, in a sort of freaky I want to break way I guess. I agree with Trevor, I’ll stick with my yellow DeWalt.

If you witness job sites in Japan, you will notice the extensive use of uniforms. To my understanding, these can be color coded for different trades and it is not uncommon to see different uniform markings to designate position or title. The trend and preference among tradesmen is to purchase tools in the color representing their trade, hence the availability of various colors.

But then again, I also like that they're cheaper than similarly rated tools. I happen to like the odd color schemes of Hitachi’s tools.

I'll stick with my (yellow) DeWalt 18V, thanks. I can’t stand the way these alien-spaceship-on-crack drills look. I’ll stick with my (yellow) DeWalt 18V, thanks.
