14 volts are ' straight' at the front of the battery. 18 volts have that 45° piece where the button is to make the battery casing longer for the extra cell.
( sorry for crap english. Sometimes hard to Find words for what i want to say )

Yup. Its not a gearbox. But a brushless motor allows you to 'shift gears' without you feeling it
the brushless circ saw has around 5000 rpm. If you will push that thing hard trough hard Wood... At some point the rpms will drop and the Amps the motor pulls from the batteries will rise.
At that point ,in other tools, the overload protection kicks in. The Makita brushless motor in there ' shifts ' into another gear automatically. Reducing rpm and increasing torque.
As soon as you stop overloading the tool it'll automatically shift back to the high rpm mode

15 years from now you'll get your chance when an old one pops up on Craigslist for $25, seller states they recently bought the new tri-phase auto shifting nano drill and no longer need it lol!
HEY JUST WAIT ONE SECOND!! LIGHTBULB! This just gave me a brainstorm... what if drills could have auto shift function? It starts out high speed/lower torque, but if can't turn the drill bit all the way through the material, so it automatically downshifts, huh? Why not??

You do know that is exactly what Makita does in their grinder/circ saw/ mitre saw right ?

My first thought was also a 12v 4 amp pack. But the 12v packs all have a Makita green coloured logo on the side ( also in China, i checked
) and the batteries on the picture only feature soms white coloured drawings like every 18v pack does -
Hello !
The following link are some pictures from the Shanghai international hardware show a few days ago.
I'm interested in the third picture. It shows the Makita booth with a screen in front.
On the screen we see 2 batteries. They're 18v batteries but their height indicates to me that they would be 9 amp batteries ?

Am I seeing things or anyone else has a guess ?

Suprised noone mentioned makitas 15 amp AVT orbital action reciprocating saw. That thing is a beast and one of the few to give a super sawzall a run for its money !

Been stelling sp6000 for years now. Everyone who uses it is very impressed with it.
Doesnt have a single flaw as far as im concerned

Next month for the dewalt brushless planer in belgium

Just had an Ah-Ha moment. I am 90% sure the 12V Hilti stuff is made by Makita.

Possible
i know Makita makes recip saws for hilti -
Multitool / Led light and jigsaw are already on their japan website
More to come i'm sure

Drill driver DDF453
Hammer drill DHP453
Rotary DHR165 ( somewhat more Semi pro. for the better home owner or the not so intensive pro work )
Impact driver DTD142 ( somewhat more Semi pro. for the better home owner or the not so intensive pro work )
And specifically the trimmer of the garden range daniel was tallking about:
DUH523 hedge trimmer
DUR181 Grass trimmer
All of those tools use the old type 'canister' motors. ( here and their brushed motor exception ) Not a fan of em personally. they're cheap but if the brushes inside are up you can only replace the whole motor. Not all customers wanna spend the time on that. Sometimes the motors are soldered to the wires. Even more of a hassle for the customer. Replacing brushes is a 5 minute job costing a few euros. Having to replace a whole motor costs alot more and takes more time. Time thats not always immediately available in a store / for the customer.
These are also tools with not alot of options / less power / or brushes where a brushless version has been the norm for a few years now.
I personally wouldn't count these as 'Pro grade tools'. Not suited for demanding and/or daily work

Had anyone an idea what the 6th mode is ?
There is 4 power modes. Theres the 'tec' mode for self drilling screws ( as the td148 had before ) and then there is a 6th mode which in japanese reads 'raku raku mode '.
Anyone n idea ?

the only caveat to the above is that to get the class leading Makita tools you need to buy the more expensive BL tools, but that is also true of other brands.
True ! The brushless cirk saw is more expensive then the dual 18v here
-
No problem Daniel. Their lineup is perhaps too extensive. Unfortunatly ' Makita lxt' doesnt always mean a prograde tool because they also have home owner tools in the cordless range.
I can imagine its sometimes hard to know what is what :x
-
Higher rpms then I'd say ?

I made an account just to rant and maybe get some positive news to my viewpoint.
Over time i've been investing in the makita 18v line. Got a hammer/drill, impact, the 2x circular saw and a few plug in tools including the 10 dual slide miter sawAlthough makita has been serving me well enough, i took a chance by getting some extra 3amp/hr batteries I got on a deal on, in the hopes of picking up the newer brushless tools to come. Namely the brushless reciprocating for starters. But I'm consistently surprised at how often makita seems to fall short of really making a leading tool.
Just finished an article comparing cordless trimmers.
Makita's trimmer falls quite at the bottom.
the 18v fuel circular saw offers is beaten by only a hair in performance to the 2x makita circular saw. (that's 1 battery doing the same as 2 makitas)
the rotary hammer, again x2 and still just doesn't shine (which btw outperforms the newer 18v brushless rotary hammer) Milwaukee beats it again with just 1 battery.
Frankly i didn't switch to red because sure, blue is a bit cheaper and for my needs its still getting the job done, but why should I keep spending comparatively similar on makita tools that I think don't reach the potential they should be. I've been eyeing the autofeed screwdriver too, but bosch came out with something that just performs better and is lighter. There's already a few tools I returned because I couldn't justify the price for the performance.
I got my batteries. Now Makita, just make some brushless tools that rock and don't "just get by".
thoughts?
Hmmm.... Yesterday a cordless trimmer shootout appeared on a tool review site ( arent we allowed to link to other tool sites ? ) and out of 15 tested Models the Makita was placed in spot 3. Higher then the dewalt/stihl Models. Only having to let the Husqvarna and ego go before it.
What trimmer did you buy? Makita has 3 different types of cordless trimmers in their range. Perhaps you bought the cheaper home owner types expecting too much of it ? Seeing as their pro grade trimmer gets better points then the stihl cordless trimmer I'd say that's probably a great model.
The x2 model circ saw has more power/speed and about 50% more runtime then the fuel. On 2 batteries of course. If having 2 batteries is your problem, then you have bought the wrong model. Makita has a brushless single battery circ saw available that performs exactly the same as the fuel. For some reviewers the Makita has a slight edge. Sometimes the fuel has a slight edge. All in all completely comparable models.
The rotary hammer is not up to modern standards. That's true. But its not miles behind either. Certainly not enough to warrant a switch. You can't expect every type of tool to be top notch from 1 brand.
You're asking for Makita to bring out some top end brushless models that rock...
All the following models are up there on the number 1 or 2 spot or sharing the number 1 spot with some other brand:
Hammer drill, impact driver. Circ saw, metal cutting circ saw, grinder, jigsaw, compact impact wrench, heavy impact wrench, the pro grade trimmer, blower, brush cutter.
The only tools in my opinion where they get their ass kicked are rotary hammers and recip saws. And in a few months I'm rather confident the upcoming brushless recip will be best in class.
I think you just have purchased not the best tools Makita has to offer and basing your opinion on your experience with those tools.

Those are pretty much completely thesame tools performance wise. The compact 36v isnt actually a 36v motor/performer. Its an 18v sds coupled with a 36v connector.
So performance wise that 18v will be thesame as the 36v your used 2
-
That model had been available in belgium for years
first as a 36v model And now as a 18+18v model.
Can be stored vertically. Central height change. 43 centimeters cutting .Runtime on 5 amps is between 500 and 1000 meters square depending on graas lengt/ wetness/ etc...
Its nothing special or innovative but excellent if you already are on the 18v platform.
Here in belgium we alsof dont have any of that ego/kobalt stuff. Cordless Lawn tools are still abit ' wow!' here

That's because you've not been exposed to them. Someone in Europe might say the same thing about Dewalt or Milwaukee. Interestingly, all three brands were founded in the same year. Metabo is high-quality German-manufactured gear, which is more than Dewalt or Milwaukee can claim.
My point being, if you'd been exposed to the Metabo name (and products) as much as you had the American brands, you wouldn't say something like this...
Well most people in Europe ( Maybe exception germany ) think of Metabo as ' Meh ' =p
Metabo, Makita , Dewalt, Bosh. It's all thesame.That sentiment that Metabo is some Hilti Like better quality tool then the other big names is something thats accepted in America perhaps but here in Europe it's just plain old Metabo. Those tools die all thesame and ( can only speak for belgium ) service sucks

Indeed ! Cant wait for Bosch to deliver em !
