  1. Well as my representative has told me: ( Beware because this comes form a makita representative )

     

    Bosch and Dewalt use a mechanical system. A flywheel thats brought up to speed and then strikes the pin to hammer the nail in.  Supposedly these are quite prone to mechanical wear if used alot. It is true that the Bosch 18V nailer was recalled in belgium.  And the Dewalt nailer.. some people love it. others hate it.

     

    The Makita representative said that they basically have a small compressor build into the tool and the motor only drivs a piston to build up pressure. So very much more in line with normal air nailers and it should be better durable then the mechanical flywheel system.

  2. Works good but is bulky. It does have a very small 'clearance' on the top so you're able to schoot nailes very close to the ceiling / floor ( when held upside down ).

     

    Because the Compressor piston is not on the top like most nailers but next to the magazin the tool is not the best balanced.

     

    So it does what it has to do very good but it's bulky and not the best balanced tool.

  3. Wobble in the Chuck had been a known probleem in soms, not all, fuel drills. Will always be replaced by warranty of course.

    Could it have been an overload/over heating protection that switched on ? Makita tools require you to take out the battery and put it back in if you trigger the overload protectionisme a few times in a row.

    If thats not the case then most likely faulty Electronics Package and milwaukees warranty will take care of that.

  4. Can anyone explain me what nut busting torque is ? I frequently hear this term uses in english video's/ reviews/ forums or in specificcations on the American Milwaukee website for example.

    But in belgium i have never ever heard that term being user. All manufacturers just talk about their tightening torque over here.

    Really confused about what that nutbusting thing is :D

  5. Warranty is not about 'having faith in your tool' .

    Lets be realistic here. Shouting around your 5 year warranty is a marketing concept first and foremost.

    The Margins are big enough for compagnies to pay up whatever few problems arise on those tools that actually need warranty.

    Marketing is the best thing Milwaukee has.( not that they dont have good tools. They have a few excellent ones in fact ) Creating hype is milwaukees game

  6. It is a bit strange because overload protection would kick in when the motor speed goes down quickly --W amperage draw goes up.  But since the chuck isnt conntected to the motor directly in an impact driver it should just keep on rattling and spinning at full speed if you encounter something that won't budge.
