For the average person immensely. Especially when you're not familiar with a field and just need something, you'll probably buy something you saw before. For example if you see Makita ads for power tools and you suddenly need to buy a power tool.
As someone who owns Makita power tools, I feel personally attacked ๐
Eh. In my experience, DeWalt tends to have more power and punch, and the batteries last longer. Makita's impact drivers (at least the ones my company got) really just never had the torque to tighten bolts down to the right NM or ft/lb. I needed. They'll do, I'd rather use an impact driver than nothing. But if I get to pick, I'll pick a DeWalt.
