I grabbed our demo model and took the knobs off, it does slip out of the protective cage.

I have a few in stock. When the light is on, you don't want to look at it. It will cause temporary blindness. If you glance at it, even from far away, you will see spots for a good few minutes. It is really bright. I'm not sure what knobs you are talking about but the knobs on the sides tighten the floodlight so that it won't rotate.

In the USA they are named XFD10R and XDT11R and will be available by November.

Yes, we have a lot more tools listed on the eBay site than we do on our store website. If you want pricing on any Makita tool, then you can always email me: jess@bishoptools.com

It's here! I like it's function but I am weary of it's imbalanced weight.

My store has been around for 14 years now and we still have professionals that are just now discovering us. We stock DeWalt, Hitachi, Senco, Bosch, Makita, Husqvarna and many others. I almost feel bad for those out there that live in the Florida panhandle that still haven't found us. We are very knowledgeable and love teaching and helping others. It does make me smile when they do discover us for the first time and wander around the store realizing what they got here.

The LXDT06Z is now outdated. It has been replaced with a more compact and faster XDT09Z. Virtual all of the guys that I have sold the XDT09Z to have absolutely no complaints and they love it.

XGC01ZC 29oz Caulk and Adhesive gun is available now as well.

Do I see some Makita pressure washers? And what is that thing that looks like a drill press next to the big circular saws?

Wow, I didn't know that, thanks!

18V LXT 2" Brad Nailer - XNB01Z 18V LXT Rebar Cutter - XCS01Z

They are newer versions of the XDT04 and XFD01. They are 25% faster but with the same amount of torque. They should retail for $179-$199 a kit.

The identical tool model in the USA is the XDT09Z. It has been available since around mid March I believe. You won't find it at the big box stores like Home Depot though, you need to go visit a professional tool house. The USA model is only available in the Makita teal color clam shell. Here are the specifications and features of the XDT09Z.

The 2.0Ah LED batteries should be available in September from the new XFD10R and XDT11R compact kits. I'm not sure when the full sized LED batteries will be released.

That's a crazy low price. Below dealer cost.

Oh yes, you are right, I am getting them confused.

DeWalt's "Made in the USA" campaign is a bit misleading. I went to their factory where they assemble the tools in North/South Carolina (The warehouse is actually in both states, they have a line drawn on the ground where they separate - 4041 Pleasant Rd Fort Mill, SC 29708) and there was literally 1 assembly line with about 6 employees on each side with 1 lead supervisor per side. They took the motor assembly and switches that were made in China and put them in the clam shells and screwed the screws in to close the tool up. They were then test fired with a battery to make sure they work and then attached a "Made In the USA" sticker on the tool.

The BL1820 2.0Ah batteries are back in stock now.

This has to be a typo, and it's going to make a lucky tool customer reallllly happy once they stumble upon it in Ancaster.

I still can't get this limited edition XDT09Z here in the USA.

Not the best demo video but at least this gives you some idea. https://youtu.be/-s9vpNeAr44

When things stop being so busy at the shop here, I will upload a comparison video between all 3 blowers.
