    in Makita

    Posted

    18V LXT® Lithium-Ion 6.0Ah Battery with L.E.D. Charge Level Indicator (BL1860)

    The less time a battery sits on the charger, the more time it’s powering the tool. Makita offers the industry’s most efficient 18V Lithium-Ion batteries with the fastest charge times in their categories. The new 6.0Ah battery reaches a full charge in only 55 minutes, provides 100% more run time than the Makita 3.0Ah battery, and has an on-board L.E.D. charge level indicator. (available February 2016)

    Awesome find man. I have been checking their press releases every few days actually hoping they would announce something for the holiday season.. should have thought to look today because of STAFDA

    This is insane news. Looks like we're getting all the good stuff and these next 6 months are going to be super expensive for me! Haha

    February. High torque impact wrench and 6.0ah batteries

    March. 36v vac

  4. echo or ego?

    Rrich1, sorry to hijack your thread..

    I don't use much cordless OPE but it seems like ego is a strong choice..

    Like Korno said, you may want to consider Makita for their X2 36v line. The brushless Trimmer and new brushless blower are supposed to be great, they also currently have a chainsaw that member ChrisK has and raves about.. if you could wait it out for the new one I'm sure it would be insane.

    Cost wise I'm sure it won't be the cheapest line to get into but they make really top quality tools and the other benefit is then you would also have access to makitas huge 18v line with the same batteries you use for the 36v stuff (makitas 36v uses 2 of their standard 18v)

  15. Makita Warranty Support Kudos

    I second you on that top quality opinion!! I have a service shop near by and have only ever had a premature failure with one tool out of my now 25-30 cordless tools. A very old model 3 speed lxt drill. It was in warranty and fixed without hassle and quickly. Every single one of my makita cordless tools that I have been using for up to 7 or 8 years professionally are still alive, well and making me money!! They just don't die and I have put some of them through hell

    8 years is sick on a battery! I've still got one 6 year old in use and 2-5 year olds. All the rest are newer

    What about something that could wire into the micro USB of the phone?

    I don't need a backup camera often but it would be nice for things like hitching my trailer.. I already have a nice dash mount for my phone so it got me thinking it would be nice to use the phone when I wanted it, keep the cost down and keep the clutter in the truck down

    I'll take a look at the taxi brothers, thankeep you
