We also had to sent back all our gws 18 v like grinders with the 6.3 eneracer batteries. Bosch will remove the brake from these grinders.

Not poor quality. But seeing as Festool doesn't have any ' powerfull ' battery tools they might have gone for cheaper cells that can't provide high amps . Which would be good enough for their tools of course

Festool batteries are cheap indeed. Anyone feels like opening one up to check what's inside ?

Let's hope this one works better then the dbn500

With use of an optional adapter yes

Only the AWS vacuum. I've opened up aws tools too see if the Bluetooth thingy is a ' standalone ' thing that just needs power ( so you could hack it into other tools ) but alas it's all podded in in the brainbox

They are held exactly thesame as in every other Makita power tool.

No idea. Dewalt rep told me

Are we sure that maximum voltage after charging is an indicator for how much life the cells have left ?

Japan doesn't have the 'D' prefix in their tool names. Td170 = dtd170

It's not expensive. The normal rapid charger is cheap because kits are sold as separate items. That gives you a cheap charger to sell. There isn't a kit that gives you the car charger. Only way to sell it as a dealer is to order em from Makita and they are expensive ( just as a fast charger ordered straight from Makita is expensive ) It's so big because it uses thesame mold for the housing as the older normal or fast chargers. Creating new molds for a smaller size charger which is only sold in very small quantities would be cost prohibitive. And a 2 minute Google search for the manual would explain you the icon instead of what you think it is.

Why would it rattle ? The batteries are connected solid to the frame as in any other tool

And the space for the batteries in the case obviously has alot of room for bigger batteries. Even the battery icon that is molded in the plastic is a bigger sizes. Now we just need the batteries -_-;

Finnaly arrived ! Lovely =)

I think that's a good safety feature for a chainsaw. You lack the obvious audible warning of a gas saw that it's ' on '. Everything to help prevent a chainsaw mishap is a good thing in my book

In belgium there's a big red or yellow sticker on the box that warns that one Handed Chainsaws should only be used by professionals. Not that anyone gives a damn really

You have lame ass stores then

True !

That chainsaw is out in Japan. Check www.makita.co.jp. But I'll be some months before available in other countries I guess Mower no change yet

It's indeed a thin cord detachable adapter

If a brushless is coming then Makita Japan is pushing remaining stock to countries that didn't sell it yet. That's how it works

Nothing more. But still has been repeated to me multiple times by Makita reps/managers that it should be coming 2018.

They have awesome dust collection with the bag yeah !

Both very awesome tools
