plus...it's japanese ; )

whatever....i love mine.

thats what I love about the FLEX VVB. Has the powerful 10A motor with a solid feel like the dewalt.

great stuff guys keep it coming. price is not a huge factor but the flex lk603vvb did catch my eye at 169.99. considering im going to get a new pad set the extra $$ could come in handy. then again the makita does come with its own bag:-)

ill post my review tommorow. Maybe that will help you decide. Some things I can say about the VVB:

The motor is very powerful like the makita. It also has one hell of a drivetrain in it. It is not breaking down anytime soon.

It is also VERY well balanced. You can balance it on a finger where the head meets the handle and it wont move. Again, very sturdy construction. Ill upload a few pics.

Ok guys after much debate I have made a decision...... FLEX is the winner it really came down to price and once I found it had a progressive trigger I had to go for it thats one of the things I liked about Makita. Thanks for the input I'll give feedback after I use it sometime next week (scheduled to arrive on thursday)
