they are made by Makita specifically for Screwfix and are 'last years' models. The ones I've seen are identical to Makita except for colour. The only Site machine I've got is a 115mm angle grinder - best I've ever used, really pleased with it.

exactly the same (appearance and spec) as the recently superseded Makita HE 2450X for example. Same price as the Mak used to be as well (the replacement model is a bit more pricey though).
