    If using thesame cells then yes that is true. But all lithium cells have a given number of continious amps they can give out. The 3000 milli ampère cells in the 6amp battery back have a lower continious amp rating then the cells used in all 4 and 5 amp battery backs from the top Brands.

    The more amps you draw from the cells higher then the rating the more internal resistance in the cells will matter. And thats an incremental thing.

    Theres this guy in YouTube who tests all batteries by putting a constant amperage draw on the batteries and timed how long it takes them to drain empty. If you put a big amperage draw ( i believe around 35 to 40 amps ) on the 6 amp battery you only get a marginale increase in runtime compared to the 5 amp.

    Thats because the internal resistance in the 3000 milli ampère cells ramps up onder load.

    Sorry for crappy english :D

    Keep in mind those 6.0ah batteries use Lithium cells with a lower continuous amperage.     Meaning that on a lighty duty tool ( compact drill / impact driver ) you'll notice the extra amp compared to a 5.0.

     

    But if you put the 6.0 on a heavy duty tool ( grinder / jigsaw / cirk saw etc.... ) you'll run into the limit of the amperage those cells can provide and it'll actually perform worse or perhaps only thesame as a 5.0 amp unfortunately :)

    The closest possible Yeah :) and the cordlless mitre has indeed a lower rpm of 2200 . if you wanna cut as fast as a corded one that will nog work :) gonna take it a lim slower with the cordless one :D

    I think a 10inch brushless 18+18 would be technically possible but it will be so high priced it might not be marketing ready yet.

    Wel have to wait and see :D

    This is my first post on the forum, thought I'd join in and share my collection. I moved from Scotland to Melbourne, Australia 6 months ago, bought a 6 piece kit when I first arrived and have been adding skins and batteries since then. Looking to add the dvc350 vacuum and the cordless sander soon then see what else makita have to offer. Possibly looking to buy the Dewalt 18v 16 gauge nailer and 18v mitre saw unless makita bring out an 18v 16 gauge nailer and a 36v (18vx2) mitre saw because I've heard from a couple of people the 18v makita saw isn't all that great (tears through material) although this may not be true!

    Nice setup man ! =)  Love it !

    You really got the best of the best =D

    Hmm apart from a what limited depth of cut and the price I do not think the cordless mitre saw has any negatives. There are a few reviews to be found online and they are all positive on the saw.

    Have only sold it twice myself but no complaints yet :)   

     

    Do you have the option in Australia to request a Demo machine from Makita? Trough a dealer?  If that's possible over there, that would be your best bet for trying it out :)

  15. Which 18V Brand/Platform is best you for? Try this calculator...

    Its abit longer. Its 1.9 kg against makita's 1.7

    The European version at least does nog feature the different power settings. Maybe USA one does ? :)

    Now 250 or 280 . i do not think you will be able to deel the difference really. But it doesnt really stand out in anything compared to Milwaukee/Makita Models so i would put it 1 point below the Makita/Milwaukee.

    And now i see what you mean with the batteries. With metabo you looked at the newer lihd of course ! Those get a 5. Other Brands a 4. Lack of indicator makes it 3. Harsh but i see your point :)

  16. Found a new tool store in town....

    Yeah that's how i pictured it in USa just needed confirmation.

     

    Specialty stores here are very protective of the brands they sell.   If Makita/dewalt/bosch would decide to start selling their tools in our belgium's big box stores then all their speciality dealers would 'rebel'   ( cant find a better word in my limited english ) against the brand and stop selling them.      And that's something the good brands dont want. The big box stores here aren't really known for their staffs knowledge or support.

    Hmmm sometimes i really wonder where you americans shop :D

    You all talk about home depot, lowes ,etc.. And other brand of stores. As i gather these are major chains of stores troughout the USA right?

    Here in belgium we also have the big chains of stores troughout the country but they only sell DIY brands. Cheaper stuff.

    Makita/Bosch/dewalt/etc... Don't sell their stuff in big chains but only in specialized dealer stores.

    If you are a tradesmen then you need to visit specialized stores.

    Hey Dwain !

     

    Yeah i'm of course basing my opinion  on the releases here in Belgium and we always get the good stuff quite fast :)    4.0 amp was out in belgium fast and 2.0 amp has been out for atleast one and a half year.    It's true that battery release in USA was reaaaaally slow !       Dont want to argue that :D     

     

    But what i'm trying to say:   At this moment for some one who is trying to decide on what brand to choose.  The only bad point would seem to be the lack off battery indicators   which would give them a minus point.... imo bringing them to 4.

     

    On the Compact drill

     

    Bosch has the GSR 18 V-EC Compact -  Brushless -   50 newtons of max torque. 1700 rpm.  Plastic chuck.

    Dewalt has the DCD790 Compact - Brushless - 60 Newton meters of max Torque - 2000 rpm - Metal chuck

    Makita DDF480 Compact - Brushless - 60 Newton meters of max torque - 1550 rpm - Plastic chuck

    Metabo BS 18 LT Compact - Brushed - 60 Newton meters of max torque - 1600 rpm - Metal Chuck

    Milwaukee 2702 compact - Brushless - 56 Newton meters of torque ( according to google conversion from 500 In-Lib) - 1800 rpm - Metal Chuck

    Hitachi DS18DSL(LS) Compact - Brushed - 54 Newtons Meters of torque - 1400 rpm - Plastic chuck.

     

    In power it's on top shared with Dewalt and Metabo.  Others are trailing slightly behind with Bosch having only 50 which is getting pretty close to drills i sell for DIY people ( in terms of torque ).

    Most in this list are brushless with exceptions of Metabo/Hitachi.

    Rpm's is definitly not too high on the Makita ! Never compared these figures before. Bosch/Dewalt/ Milwaukee take the lead here.  Trailed behind them are Makita and metabo and hitachi last.

    Metal / plastic chuck  --> In my opinion this really doesn't matter. Up untill 2 years ago the Bosch heavy duty drill GSR 18 V-2-Li had a plastic chuck. A Plastic chuck on one of the toughest drills we all know. If a plastic chuck is of good quality it can easily be a better chuck then a cheaper metal one.  All in all i think all of these above tools have a good chuck.  

     

    Personal thing of course but in the 300 + DDF480 i've sold in the last 2 years  i can honestly say i've had only 1 come back with chuck wobble. That's a manufacturers error and it happens to all tools once in a while.  I've had alot more of Bosch's brushless drills coming back with triggers that only work half the time straight out the box. That's a recurring problem of theirs. ( Also had it on their newer type brushless 10.8v drill driver and the brushless GOP 18V Multitool.  Somewhere in their brushless electronic package they still have a problem to figure out ).

     

    The older model compact that makita did before this brushless version.  BDF456 didnt have the best chuck.  But that models hasn't been  on the market for a few years so old news.

     

    All in all, except for a what mediocre top speed that drill has pretty much everything you want from a compact. And it's really compact and light as Javier also says  in his review :)

     

    On the Recip

     

    Dunno just hate it.  Underpowered, drains batteries waaay too fast, no anti vib in it.  Just not my tool.

     

    On the Bosch Impact

     

    I was actually really disappointed when Bosch released this one.    It's big and bulky, it's heavier.  It has less power.  It does not give you 3 speed settings.  And it has a few hundred rpm's less then the others.  There's actually nothing on this one that makes it interesting compared to other offerings by Milwaukee / Makita.   It's a good upgrade compared to their formed impact wrench.  But for a newer tool it's tailing behind in every way.

     

     

    Well my 2 cents.  Hope you just see this as a discussion.  That's how I mean it :)  Don't want to offend or anything :D
