  3. Is makita going back to japan ?

    in Power Tools

    Posted

    A small Makita detail: all 'high tech' power Tools get their first production run in the Japanese motherplant. 

     

    Afterwarths it is decided in which manufacturing plant the actually tool Will be produced to the specs/tolerances decided in the Japanese plant.

     

    The manufacturing plants are put against each other to 'win' the right to produce the tool. The plant of course needs the capability in the near Future to produce the amounts that are predicted too sell. And of course price also plays a part :)

    If you open up the back on those 2 models you see a difference in electronics that control the Brushless motors.   I'm nop engineer so I haven't the slightest idea what the different electronics might do.   Maybe more drive modes = more electronics?

    As a guy who has spent too much time running and repairing hydraulic based equipment I have a hard time trusting the build on these early model machines to have any sort of longevity. Im guessing that maybe they'll last three years before the DOT 3 brake fluid they put in these leaks or destroys the internals.

     

    Makita's first Oil impulse drivers I have been selling for 6 years now and never got a return on them :)   I'd like to say they're as duarable as a normal impact.

  13. New RedLithium batteries

    I still can't believe the pricing. For $25 more you can get a pair of 5.0 instead of one 6.0.  At least the 9.0 gets you increased performance and roughly the same runtime as the two 5.0. 

     

    This could be the reason:  Here in europe at the least every battery that has a higher capacity then 100 watt hours ( 18v * 6 Ah =  more then 100 wh ) falls under a law that states it is an 'dangerous amount of lithium' .  Every battery with more then 100wh  needs spezial packaging, special labeling, some precautions for transport, more paperwork... blah blah blah.    And this all drives up the costs.

     

    6 amp batteries are alot more expensive then 5 amp batteries here in belgium at least and that is because of that law :)

    I'm not sure if you have a thing like that in the USA  but if you do, good chance that drives up the costs :)

    The overall torque is lower.

    Torque is the measure of rotational power. Whether it's lower IPM and higher Impact force or Higher with lower force, the torque is the output.

    Regardless of what is happening inside, the ability to fasten or loosen is lower.

    450 In-lbs is not anywhere near the same as 1400+ in-lbs. 

     

    With impacr drivers / drill drivers i'd say you're correct.

    But there is something going on with these impulse drivers. Makita's oil impulse drivers also only hjad low torque like the milwaukee surge but it still does pretty much everything my DTD148 does.

    I cannot explain why but the Torque as it stands on impulse drivers cannot be compared to impact drivers. I know it sounds like bullcrap or something but untill you have tried it you cannot make up your mind about it :)

  15. DHP484 New Compact Brushless - Comparison Pictures

    in Makita

    Posted

    Hello all !

     

    I just received Makita's new compacts yesterday. Atleast the hammer drill model :)

     

    Here are some comparison pictures between the old model DHP480  and the new DHP484 

     

    On the left side:  Old DHP480

    IMG_20160827_130855.jpg

     

    On the Right side:   New DHP484

    IMG_20160827_130858.jpg

    We see a much higher speed. 2000 rpm's against the old 1550 and an aluminium gear housing instead of plastic :)

     

    Size comparison in height:

     IMG_20160827_131336.jpg

     

    The new DHP484 is noticably shorter.  About 2 centimetrers :)

     

    Size comparison from the back:

    IMG_20160827_131001.jpg

     

    Also here we see the body of the new DHP484 is slimmer :)

     

    Size comparison from the top:

     

    IMG_20160827_131400.jpg

    Now the new Model is on the Left of course.  We see it's alot shorter again but a littlebit bigger in the Width?

     

    And finaly a weight comparison:

    You guys do realize your Makita batteries were probably just as hot as the Milwaukee and you were just burning the cells up shortening their lives. Also 3.0 LTX batteries were notorious for early failures even brand new packs due to bad cell monitoring.

    There is no ' burning the cells' in any modern cattery pack. Every pack shuts down when it over heats.

     

    And what's the Point of dragging back old issues from years past that have absolutly nothibg to do with current batteries overheating or not ? Milwaukee v18 sucked balls. As did dewalt nano lithium or what was it called again.

     

    I Remember a tool fight video that Javier from toolcraze did between the brushless heavy duty Fuel gen 1 and the first dewalt heavy duty brushless. Drilling holes in a 2 by 4 to test runtimes. The Milwaukee overheated and the dewalt didnt.
