  1. Yeah i'm still checking my new  tool deliveries daily for the first batteries with gauges on them :D  No luck so far.  

     

    But it'll be months most likely :)   I've got it conformed they are in production but like Ner said... they'll sell out the old stock before adding the batteries with gauges.

     

    As for the multitool:  Ner, have you ever tried the makita next to other brands,  I compared it with the BL bosch and the Fein ( that was a 14 volt tho.  Last year Fein didnt have an 18 volt. not sure if they do now ) and the Makita wins by a margin.   The only thing bosch had more interesting was the system to lock the tool.

     

    But for power / vibration and even runtime the makita won actually. ( quite strange since the Bosch was a BL motor )

  2. Good to have you here Bishop ^^  I'm all about giving good Makita advice to the guys here but I cannot sell those american/canadian people anything from here in Belgium ... and that's where you come in :D

  3. Well,

     

    Today I got a new Keynote from my Makita representative in the store.  The most interesting thing:

    For those of you not speaking dutch ( Like everyone on here? =p  )

     

    Batteries with a Led capacity indicator are finally coming.

    Here in belgium it's a 'silent' release which means no model number will change. No price on a tool will change.   As soon as old stock of the tools are gone they will start shipping newer ones with the 'new' batteries.

     

    Only a small icon on the outside of box can tell us if the 'newer' batteries will be included.

     

    There's no time frame yet. All I know is that the batteries are in production and that I'll get them automatically in my store when old stock is gone.

     

    I've already contacted Makita Belgium to see if there are any tools yet which have these batteries at this time.  Want to take a pic :)
