While B&D had an exceptional advantage in its circular saws with the Piranha model, for example, Makita had a good product base in most, if not all, categories. Comparing him to a video game character, your stats show your abilities, and in the B&D situation, only his attack is "upgraded", to say a value of 100, leaving his other stats lagging behind. On the other hand, Makita has all of its stats up to 70, which is no match for B&D's attack value, but Makita's other stats get an advantage.
