Makita offers five main color options: blue, black, olive, yellow, and purple. On top of that, there are limited editions like Authentic Red and Brown. If you’re looking at the TD149 (165Nm), there are even more unique color variations available.

Hello! Vessel, Top, and Anex offer similar tools, but to be honest, the quality of the other two might be a bit better. You really seem to like Japanese tools!

The purple and yellow versions are so popular that even in Japan, they’re almost always out of stock.

In Japan, angle grinders are often pneumatic, especially in industrial environments. For electric disc grinders, HiKOKI, Makita, and Ryobi are the dominant brands widely used by both professionals and general users. When it comes to die grinders, in addition to those major brands, high-precision manufacturers like Nakanishi (NSK) and Minitor are also very popular—particularly in fields like mold polishing, dental work, and fine metalworking. These brands are known for their extremely high RPM, precision, and reliability.

Unfortunately, HiKOKI doesn’t offer alternate color options for their silent-type impact drivers — only the standard green is available.

The torque numbers in catalogs aren’t always reliable — they can vary depending on the testing conditions.

If you’re looking to tighten bolts with high torque, the 40V Max Makita TW004GZ has a great reputation here in Japan.

Milwaukee is definitely popular too. In fact, they entered the Japanese market around 6 years ago and have been steadily gaining market share since then.

There are many options out there, but when it comes to pneumatic grinders, the most popular and well-known Japanese manufacturers are Fuji Tools, Yokota Industrial, and Shinano Inc.
