Stonehenge is on a distinguished road
This is also becoming true for cutoff saws. Makita, Wacker, Cutquik and a few others are all identical saws - same size and shape, same engines, same everything. Just a different color of plastic.

As for tapes - yeah, I used to buy the very best - but every one of them wears through the protective coating and rusts at about the same rate. So I now buy some of the least expensive tapes I can. Same with levels - we buy the cheap ones and check them before each project. If they are out of whack, they get tossed.
