In Japan they use the Dewalt 20v platform for their power tools.

Very strange ! That stick vacuüm looks 99% like makitas stick vacuüm!

Even the charger and batteries looked like makita, too funny.

The Japanese Ryobi is totally different than the North American.

TTI licences The Ryobi name here in North America Ryobi of Japan is kind of like Hyundai of Korea but not as big. They do printing equipment, power tools. die casting and builders hardware. I have some of their fishing reals the made years ago.

The impact driver at around 1:07 looks like the Dewalt DCF895.

Yeah, a lot of similarities but just not quite. I would love to see if that cyclone thing would fit the makita. I would imagine

Looks like makita and dewalt, but I think they are different inside. I seen flex li ion tools month ago and they look like milwaukee outside, but I dissasembled some of that flex tools and they are not like Milwaukee tools from inside
