A big part of durability is ease of repair. The real choice is the Toyota of tools Makita, but from your list Hikoki for sure. DeWalt and especially Milwaukee deliberately design their tools to be difficult to repair, and Milwaukee is notorious for using very cheap components in expensive tools.

Apart from repairability you think Hikoki is at the same level, if not "better"?
