who makes this drill? China? If so, does that mean its quality is suspect?

Can't offhand say who made it but it is an extremely fine tool. It is the best drill I have ever bought. Just be sure you want a fast drill (I did). It can be run slow but probably not the ideal tool for that.

This Makita drill is assembled in the USA from parts of various origin. Most of the components are made in Japan. I find Makita tools to be highly reliable and well engineered.

Hi Jennifer, I have one and am not sure where it is made since there are no indications on the tool but I can tell you this: This is a high quality tool and I use it daily. It is very handy to carry around and has held up well with what I have used it for.

Still made in USA, great drill, great value, definitely worth the $$. I use mine several times a week. Would buy again in a heartbeat."No One Ever Regrets Buying Good Tools"(you may quote me) :-)

They are made in China. DeWalt has abandoned the United States for manufacturing, just like thousands of other Republican-run Fortune 500+ companies who have wanted to crush unions and move from making profits to making extreme profits, at the expense of the American middle class. As a consumer, a squirrel just trying to get a nut, nowadays you have no choice but to buy Chinese. Sad. Having said that, the bits are performing well for me.

Bosch is a Germany company. They couldn't get the quality they wanted when outsourced to the US. So now it is outsourced to China.

Yea but I wouldn't buy from here. The drill feels brand used. Alot of little things. Kinda felt like a scam cuz when I got it. There was no return slip.

Yes I've had mine for several months and it's also made in China. Seems to be a quality tool and works well...no complaints here. There is a K in the serial number on mine, so that may be the one you're looking for.

The blade says Taiwan. Whether it's made there in its entirety, or just the blade is anybody's guess. The quality is quite high, so I don't think China was involved at all.

Probably. I couldn't buy the motor for the cost of the drill press. But what electric tool ISN'T made in China?

Really?? Probably assembled in some foreign country where labor costs are low. The parts...hopefully some came from the USA. But, who knows? I have two Bosch drills and they work great!!

Sad but true China, states it right on the box. If it were USA, you would pay 50% more. The quality is good. This is my second unit. Good luck.

Shuang Ma. All of these cheaper ones on Amazon are going to be from a Chinese companies that you've not heard of. Mine was garbage but may have just been defective. I also had the little wl v911 which is great. I wish I had tried the wl v912 in that size range instead.

The tool is made in China, seems like a quality tool though. Have not used all that much but seems to work great.
