Johnson and Mabuchi are motor manufacturers.
They design and build motors based on specifications for a variety of products.

I.e. each has designed and built a motor for a Fisher Price power-wheels vehicle.

CIM is also a motor manufacturer. The CIM we know and love, is a slightly customized version of a motor designed for Atwood Mobile.

Just because the B-D drill uses A motor from Johnson Electric, doesn't mean it uses the same one we've received in the KOP in previous seasons.

So now you know, and remember... knowing is half the battle.
