Is Maktec any good?
The quality of both brands is quite similar, but Maktecs are intended for less requiring jobs. Mostly corded, with no added technological extras nor accessories… these are high quality (although basic) power tools with great potential – nothing to do with, for example, a power drill that you could buy in Aldi.

Why are some Makita drills black?
What seems to be the differences here is that the Makita Black line is actually meant for contractors, where the White line was meant for the home improvement crowd. Yet, even though the White line was never really intended for contractors, I always seem to see more of them on the job than the teal tools.
Whats the difference between blue and white Makita drills?
Looks like the blue comes with the 3Ah battery and the white with the 1.5Ah battery. However the white can accept the 3Ah battery. And this is why you can typically purchase the white drills on special buys. The batteries are half as powerful.
Why are Makita drills white?
Makita’s white tools signify their “compact” line. Generally, the white tools come with smaller batteries, like 18v 1.5 amp hour batteries. Also, they generally do not have as high of a torque, or as fast blade speed, etc as their teal counterparts. Makita’s white tools are currently being phased out.
