Quality Chinese alternatives · no knockoffs
Devon is a Chinese brand. Here are its peers:
Jiangsu Dongcheng is a large Chinese maker of professional corded and cordless tools, also sold under the DCA and DCK names. Forum users rate its 20V drills close to Bosch for home and light trade work, but still prefer the premium brands for heavy daily use.
Greenworks is owned by Globe Tools Group, which designs and builds the tools at its headquarters in Changzhou, China. Its 24V drills and impact drivers are homeowner-grade, a peer to Ryobi rather than to pro brands.
Hoto is a Shanghai-based, design-focused tool brand founded in 2016. Popular Woodworking found its 12V brushless drill durable under stress testing, but recommended it for DIY homeowners rather than pros because it charges slowly over USB.
Worx is the consumer brand of Positec, headquartered in Suzhou, China, and is best known for lawn and garden tools. Its cordless tools are aimed at homeowners, making it a peer to Ryobi rather than to pro brands.
