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. -
That's cool Ricky that u found a cool tool spot in your area! Out here Ace is the only place near by and its pretty pricey compared to HD or Lowes. Wish I could find a spot like that.
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The LXDT06Z is now outdated.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?

Aha lovely Bishop !
Are that 2 new combo kits you'll be getting in america? Or 2 new kits as in new tools? =)
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.

Thanks. Yea this thing is dumb fast! And the different speed modes comes in handy. Of course I had to Google the words on the buttons but I'm trying to learn Japanese anyway so win-win![emoji23] Haha lol
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.
High Performance with Brushless Motor- Quick-Shift Mode selector has an automatic electronic controller that downshifts and reduces rotation and impact speed prior to driving screw into place, and is engineered to minimize screw thread stripping, screw breakage and damage to work
- BL Brushless Motor delivers 1,550 in.lbs. of Max Torque
- Efficient BL Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge

- The BL Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL Motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life
- The electronically-controlled BL Brushless Motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application
- 3-stage battery gauge indicates battery charge level
- Compact and ergonomic design at only 4-11/16" long

Here is a short speed demo of the tool: https://youtu.be/lTJwEiIMM6M -
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.

I actually think it is "Built in USA" not Made in for that very reason that some of the parts are made in china, but this is better than nothing right, giving some people jobs.
Oh yes, you are right, I am getting them confused.
-
If Milwaukee are going to restart their manufacturing in the USA, that is music to my ears. A true American will always build in the USA.
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.

Jess from Bishop Tools was showing me a pic of a gold limited edition 100th anniversary XDT09 impact. Looked pretty sweet but I think he was having trouble getting it to the states I'll post a pic if I can find it in my email later
I still can't get this limited edition XDT09Z here in the USA.

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