Makitas are nice and sturdy too. Just get a paddle switch and not a slide switch. Hard to go wrong with the major brands, I think.

About 10 or 15 years ago I bought a Northern Tool cheapie for $15...
I've used it extensively and it has performed flawlessly...
Perhaps I got a good one but when it croaks out I will get another one...

I have a Milwaukee .... probably 15 years old or so .... I think it's a model 6148 .... would buy another in a heartbeat.

Nothing wrong with any of those. Either one of them should serve you well. I have one of each of the Makita and the Milwaukee. They have served me well for years. Really just a personal preference.
As already said numerous times, a paddle switch is just easier to operate than a slide switch.

I know the Milwaukee is made in China now and not nearly the tool from 15+ years ago when it was USA product. Likely most of them are today. I have a Dewalt that I have had for over 10 years and it works great, but when I wanted to add to my collection, I just bought the Harbor Freight model. NOT the cheap one but the one with a paddle switch and higher amp motor and it has worked well. I also have a HF model with slide switch but it is hard to turn on with gloves on. I keep different grinder / brushes / Sander blades on each one so I dont have to switch out, just grab another grinder.
