Makita

I can think of the Milwaukee and Makita but not the Dewalt.

Just curious, how does gypsum dust destroy brushless motors?

The new tools include: An impact driver that has 10%+ driving speed and longer run time compared to the the 18v Triple Hammer impact(with 6ah battery) A 6.5" circular saw with twice the cutting speed of their 18v brushless circular saw. 4" and 5" variable speed grinders with nearly twice the power of their 18v brushless grinders. A 6.5" sliding mitre saw. More about the first multivolt tools here: http://www.hitachi-koki.co.jp/powertools/pro/multivolt/ https://www.youtube.com/user/HitachiKokiChannel/videos

When was that?

Correct as far as I am aware.

Different colour options count as the same model (Most colour options are for the Japanese domestic market and only available outside of Japan via grey import). US and World wide model name count as the same model, eg. for Hammer drills XPH07 and DHP481 are the same model. Also when the letter L was removed from the naming scheme (eg for Hammer Drills LXPH01 and XPH01) count as the same model.

They have more current models than that and I'm talking about all unique models ever released.

How many unique 18v brushless impact driver models has Makita ever released?

All 32mm (1.25") stroke. Brushless: Makita and Bosch, Brushed: Makita.

Honestly the marketing of hard joint torque in drills is a load of horse shit, what really matters is soft joint torque.

Those hardness values cannot be directly compared because they are on different Rockwell scales. The 90 was measured on the Rockwell B scale and the 30 on the Rockwell C scale with the C scale being harder scale, with some over lap in hardness on the high end of B scale and the low end of the C scale.

Metabo have 3500 mAh cells coming. The Festool Airstreams have Sony 18650 cells same as Makita 6.0Ah. Makita are rumoured to have a 9.0 Ah coming. One problem for Makita with 20700 cells is that they make the battery pack too wide to fit the 18V X2 tools.

The Dewalt planer is a bit stronger especially with Flexvolt or xr 6.0 batteries but the Makita is impressive considering it came out over 5 years old ago.

no, its 1240 in.lbs vs 1550 in.lbs.

That's a Japanese only thing unless you import them. Hitachi and even Panasonic have different colours in Japan too.

Cordless impacts actually have a hammering effect due to their hammer and anvil design. This actually makes cam out worse especially with Phillips.

The bs 18 quick is non hammer.

Well he did "review" a few Makitas a several years ago.

Hey Joe do you follow ginwashi on Instagram, if not it check out for the two new makita impact colors.

Its normal, the red light just means the battery is less than 80% charged.

I think it is the same as the new brushless single speed dtd153 http://www.makitauk.com/products/cordless-tools/impact-drivers/all-cordless-impact-drivers/dtd153z-18v-impact-driver-bl-lxt.html

This shows how the triple anvil functions.

The DCB1800 Portable Power Station also only charges at 2 amps in each of the 4 ports which is pretty crappy.

There's a bunch of different combo kits in Australia now that contain both the DHP481 and DTD148 including some 2 piece kits, but for along time the DTD148 wasn't available in any combo kits only lower end impacts were. I think the reason is because Makita had a large of inventory of impacts as they have produced at least 5 different brushless models that have been released world wide and they have a new brush model available in Japan.
