No idea what happened on the forum but this reviews are very very decent.
They agent biased at all. He had reviewed all Brands really
-
I do not have it. I have sold about 9 units in the last 3 years to carpenters
I rate it very highly. Its a tool that saves you ALOT of time and will earn back its money quickly. Everyone who has bought one from me has been very happy. This is ofcourse true for every chain mortiser and not just makitas model.
And about the safety thing you said: a good operator is the best safety of course. But extra safety features are there on tools for accidents of course. Accidents unfortunatly happen to everyone because they are unexpected of course.
There is really only a 10 minuten learning curve to 'all' those handles on the chain mortiser
-
Yeah finnaly a decent 12v line. Nothing top notch but seems decent

Lovely review he made !
-
Awesome !
-
All those handles have a good function you know
its those handles that make it a good ( and safer ! ) chain mortiser.
The handles enable you to clamp down the tool on the Wood and from that same clamped down position make a hole anywhere from 16 by 45mm up to 30 by 130mm without having tot move the tool. ( or wider if you get a bigger chain on it from the beginning of course )
-
Doesnt Amazon ussually have their initial prices higher then by the time the tool is actually available ?
-
Well if you compare them side by side the Makita easily outperforms the dewalt in every possible way except cost
Alot higher rpm's.
Stronger 36v engine with speed change tech for high torque applications
Durable brushless motor
No overheating problems ( not saying that i know the dewalt had those but reviews of the metabo cordless chopsaw had the tool/battery needing rest inbetween heavy use because heat protection kicked in )
Vastly superior runtime
12 inch cutting lenght VS dewalt's 8(i believe ? )
I think the dewalt/metabo are designed/build as a cordless tool for lighter work, not for all dat use.
While the Makita is designed as a true replacement for a corded saw. Corded power and a runtime almost doubling the metabo/dewalt saws.
Price is also double unfortunatly
hahaha
-
hahaha got me for a minute
-
And i'm sure the Antivibe is excellent. A few corded Rotary Hammers of Makita also have that system , where the motor and pneumatics are seperate from the main housing and it works like a charm !!
-
Great review !!
-
Same luck here in belgium. Always warranty fortunately
-
Yeah batteries themselves also have Electronics that use a little power of course !
Interesting test andrull !!
-
I wonder if it plays into the effect that Dewalt has very little circuitry in their battery packs everything is all in the tool with the 20v max batteries.
It helps indeed ! Makita had the Electronics both in their battery and in their tool. You need both a tool and a battery with the 'star'protection to have the over discharge protection.
Thats made it quite hard for people to 'upgrade' to protected tools. Because they both needed tot upgrade tools and their batteries over time. If they bought a newer tool but still used old batteries --> still possible problems with over discharging etc...
Not the best decision ever !
-
Makita As dead for a few years eh
-
...At some point Makita knew something was wrong, but I guess they rolled the dice and decided to let it roll.......
There is nothing 'wrong' except for an inherent bad quality of lithium batteries in general. Thesame thing happened to bosch / milwaukee . Dewalt seems to have escaped the dance for introducing lithium packs at a later time
If you stores your batteries charged --> not a problem ever.
If you put en empty back in storage for a few months --> it'll start dieing on you.
And that is STILL a way to start killing of batteries. Even todays Makita batteries, or Bosh batteries. or Red Lithium batteries... all lithium batteries really
-
Yeap. I can only talk for Bosch and Makita since those are the brands i've been selling for years in my store. Both had their fair share of problems before the electronics were added in batteries
We've been lucky in belgium that Makita Belgium has replaced each and every battery op to 4 years old under warranty
-
It's more a problem of users putting away empty batteries for longer periods of time. That will kill all Lithium batteries eventually. No ,exceptions.
It's why electronic protection circuits have been added in power tool batteries. Too prevent users from over discharging batteries by usage
-
Well there is an increase of power. No denying that. But a 36volt tool never has double the power. No single makita, dewalt or bosch 36 volt tool has ever been double as strong as their 18v versions.36 volt batteries were also used as a small increase of power with mostly a lot longer runtime.
The dual 18v can cut deeper then the single BL saw. It also has abit more power. But the runtime is quite longer.
If you want a cordless saw that can go 66mm deep ( sorry i dont know inches ) you can choose either the Milwaukee or the Makita. And as many comparisons have shown, the Makita easily wins in cutting power and runtime.
They have their uses
-
Cop tool put up their 18 volt SDS review: http://youtu.be/vCDXPnPWhyw
Looks is like the Milwaukee is a beast, even faster than the 36v Makita. Makes me wonder, do 36v Makita tools act like 36v or do they really just double runtime?
Depends on the tool of course. The 18vX2 Rotary is just completly thesame model as their original 36v that come out 7 years ago. Brushed motor. Its an outdated model really. But if you have the batteries... The outdated model gives you quite the runtime and power.
Makitas 18v brushless Rotary was also one of the first ( if not the first ?) brushless Rotary on the market. 4 years now
18v brushless comes in close in performance to older brushed 36v designs and that is what we are seeing here
Same goes for the Makita 18v brushless circulair saw. Its very close in performance compared to the brushed 18X2 circulzr saw
-
Ow
Well maybe i'm thinking too much of that extreme big Pipe that Diablo Used at stafda to show their new long carbide blade
Anyway it's the stroke that does it. Maybe it's an unfair comparison because the Corded model uses the 'old crank design' with a shorter stroke compared to the 18V Brushless one which has a newer design with a longer stroke.
-
Honestly they will probably have that test done 800+ times during the stafda trade show and had to re-hang the weights numeral times etc....
It's very simple: That new Crank design in the BL recipro's give the saw a longer stroke lenght.
For that small diameter pipe the 'power' of the tool hardly matters because that small pipe does not force the Motor inside to slow down. The longer stroke length is a clear advantage for a recipro saw.
By the time we start sawing up cast iron pipês in bigger diametres, thats when the saw will be 'under stress'.
But the simple reason it is so fast is because of the bigger stroke length.
-
I think I'm gonna grab an 18V drill to keep in the truck. I could just get a battery and move a Milwaukee into road service, but I'm feeling exotic and for the price of a battery I can get a 1 battery combo on BF.
I'm thinking either Dewalt or Makita. Dewalt would make the most sense as I already have compatible 20V Mac tools, but I'm kinda wanting to open up my options. The most that would ever be added would be a 1/2" impact and possibly a recip saw.
Decisions decisions......
Well if you are willing to try makita.. First half of 2016 had them bringing out new cordless 18v impact wrench and recip saw and both will be top of the line Hen they come out
-
Youll be very impressed by the XSH03 Chris
recipes are still a few months off ^^
RealToolReviews Reviews the new 12v Max drill driver/impact
in Makita

Not all off us are tool nuts who compare technical specs for that last bit of rpm or torque advantage.
For the 'normal' personen who just wants to know if hes spending money on a good drill this reviews have all the basic info for those people.
