  1. It's odd to me how a lot of the top of the line stuff gets released overseas and takes forever to make its way to the states... Any particular reason?

    Personally i believen it is because of profit matgins. Power tools are very much more expensive over here in the EU then they are in Amerika.

    As a company, if you just reasearched and produced a new tool, i suppose it is logical that you first sell it in large margin countries :)

  2. Technically the M18 Fuel impact still has more power. I am envious of the Makita's cute size though :P. On the drill side of things, the ball will be back in Makita's court in the fall when I get a 2704 in my hands haha. Then the never ending game of one-up will continue. Speaking of one-up, isn't it Team Yellow's turn to be best-in-class yet? Come on Dewalt!

     

    True !

     

    BUT in 99 % of all impact driver use the impacts per minute or rpm's are more important then the torque really.  You will never notice that 5 newtons more of torque.  those few extra hundred of rpm really make this the best impact out there at the moment =p

  3. Nice dude, way to conqour the garage with these tools. I really like your badass Milwaukee corded sawzall, I am guess that thing has about 10-amps of raw cutting power, HAHA :D And don't ask me why but that Makita looks more cute then anything else lol

     

    Looking Cute AND kicking M18 Fuel impact Ass at thesame time ;)

     

    Just Jesting Proto ! :D

  4. Makita is gonna release updated versions of their Brushed Compact drills/impact drivers.  

     

    http://www.makita.biz/product/category/cordless/ddf482_dhp482_dtd152/index_f.html#1

     

    The newer DDF482  will replace the DDF456

    The DHP482 will be replacing the DHP456

    and the impact driver DTD152 will be replacing the DTD146.

     

    These models have higher torque and higher rpm's then their older counterparts and also feature a shorter head lenght.

     

    Maybe coolest of all: These will be the first tools shipped with the Makita batteries with a battery indicator on there. =)

     

     

     

    i'm thinking of the pricing is right these make for a good step up between Makita's  Brushed DIY drill DDF453  and the brushless models like DDF480.

     

     

  5. Hmmm i dont see why so many people think brushless motors will be less durable then brushed engines.

    Brushless engines have been in use for more then 30 years and just in situations where durable long lasting motors were needed.

    Industrial applications/ the rc world / the motors in your CD ROM drives/playstation back in the nineties where all brushless motors :)

    And brushless motors have been around in power tools faaaaar longer then most of you think.

    Before the ' fuel ' line ever existed Makita had brushless tool for years.

    The first brushless power tools were introduced by Makita in their defence and aerospace contracts. Production facilities where the best of the best was needed in efficiency/ weight/ size and durability.

    These were very expensive production tools not available for contractors in stores. Powered by nicd and nihm batteries back in those times.

    In 2009 Makita has that brushless technology trickle down to the first ever brushless power tool available for contractors in the form of an pact driver.

    This brushless engines in power tools even have a history :) they have been around linger then lithium ion batteries in power tools !!! :D
