Dongcheng's 20V drills are commonly weighed against Makita and Bosch at a lower price
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.
Devon is the professional power tool brand Chervon launched in 2007 for industrial users in Asia, with a 20V cordless line of over 120 tools. Chervon (Nanjing) also owns Flex, Skil and EGO and builds Lowe's Kobalt 24V tools, so Devon comes from an established pro-tool maker.
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.
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.
