Hmmmmm Good idea man !
Some changes I believe would say:
The rated '3' on Makita batteries I assume is because of the battery problems of their last generation batteries? This is in all not a current problem anymore what so ever. For someone deciding right now: " what brand should i go with?" I don't believe that problems of the past would matter. Else Milwaukee's V18 problems or dewalts changing from the old style to new style batteries etc.. would also matter?
I think it should be a ' 4 ' They do miss the led capacity indicator !
And in compact drill I also do not understand the 3. I know you dont like any of Makita's compact Dwain but I'm asking myself the question why?
Most sold compact drill in all of belgium here for the past 2 years has been the DDF480. 60 newtons max torque. Compact in size. 1.7kg with an XC battery. Complete with all electronical protection circuits that we have come to expect. Battery gauge on the drill. All in all it completly compares to the compact offerings from dewalt / metabo / Bosch.
So I'd say this should also be a 4
The Makita Recip saw. Maybe even a 2. I really do not like that one. I have already told customers in my store to not buy it. in my opinion it is the only bad 18v tool that makita makes.
Bosch Compact impact wrench: This one does not get a 5 in my book. The combination of being able to fit sockets and bits is a cool thing, nonetheless that tool only offers a low 185 newton meters of torque. Which makes it a strong, but heavy, impact driver. But an underpowered impact wrench. Milwaukee's and Makita's offerings feature 50% more torque in a more compact design.

Real nice lineup Korno,,, would you know if Makita has a cordless palm sander in the works?
No idea =) Haven't heard anything about that. Doubt it

I'll try to remember to take a family photo for you. Heading up north with my new Can Am to Jericho in the AM for an all day trip so maybe Sunday. I'll try to remember!
Thank you Chris ! Have fun !

No Makita tools in my collection. . It's just a blank picture.
Your Dewalts then Ricky if you got the time? =)
-
Do I see some Makita pressure washers? And what is that thing that looks like a drill press next to the big circular saws?
Yup those are pressure washers.
Th big thing is a chain mortiser
-
Is the picture bugged or you don't have nothing Makita? =D in that case I want to see your dewalt tools Ricky !!!
-
Chain saws and the 4stroke and 36v Combi motor with different attachments
Brush cutters, string trimmers, pressure washers and leaf blowers
Display with all battery powered garden equipment. The empty spot on the right holds the cordless lawnmower but it's sold out for the moment
Lawn mowers and... no idea what it is called in English. Those things that remove the moss from your garden and gives the grass 'air' ?
Yet again: If anyone wants a close up / little vid on one of these tools. Give me a shout !

Yeah stupid jzpanese marketing decision to not make them brushless :/
-
The braid nailer is great but front heavy tho
it does have a very small ' heigt' above the nose. If you need to get into a small space -
Yeah better to widen your tool selection then getting duplicates
-
Ow OK cool
updates on their brushed Models then -
We have both of those in belgium already.
Both work great ( altho the rebar is damn heavy and it needs about 6 seconds to cut 20 mil rebar )

Congratz man ! King of all impacts right there.
The hidden beauty of it is its speed. It had few hundred rpm's on all other impacts as far as i know.
Much faster working with this and ultra light/compact

I'd like to think that most people are honest and do not try to abuse they warranty system when they break a tool. Milwaukee knows this too, which is why they are not going to want to make the warranty process a big hassle for customers. Unlike other companies who make you go through tons of hoops, and even then, may not honer the warranty! I respect Milwaukee as a company, especially now that they are moving manufacturing back to the USA where it belongs.
As opposed to Makita who always kept their factories in the USA running you mean? =p Just Teasin !
Back to the warranty thing:
Hmmm....
Well I believe it's an actual fact that most if not all manufacturing defects will be seen in the first 12 months. Technicians/repairman who repair these tools will acknowledge this i think?
If anything breaks / burns up /dies after 12 months i find it really hard to believe it was a manufacturer defect which held on for 12 months and then decides to break.
Maybe people here in Belgium arent that honest but they will try and get everything under warranty even if it has been clearly mis used buy the user.
I believe Warranty is more of a commercial marketing thing ( Brands want to bind customers to them, even by warrantying things that clearly are not manufacturers defects according to the law but just to keep customers happy ) with 1 big negative: More and more people ( atleast my experience in belgium ) seem to neglect their tools and the maintenace on them because they get 3 years warranty here in belgium. They know that if they break it within those 3 years... they do not care. Why would they? They've come to expect that their user errors are gonna get covered under warranty anyway.)
I can't find the reight words in English but this years and years of warranty created a sort of negligence in people for their tools/maintenance.
it's even in my pics ><

I want a tool fight
in Power Tools
Posted
In power and speed the competition would be between Milwaukee and Makita.
But in runtime the brushed Bosch circular saws will surprise you !!
