    I broke one not to long ago surprisingly . But then again probably 10,000 or more screws and beat the shit out of it . But I can tell ya , they beat every other major brand such as dewalt , Milwaukee , irwin. Irwin are complete and trash its rediculous. 

  11. What will Makita come out with next?

    I'd like to see them come out with higher capacity batteries to compete with Milwaukee's high demand, and Dewalt's Flexvolt stuff.. I really like Makita's x2 system, and I think once they come out with larger batteries similar to the red and yellow ones being able to double those up will give Makita a bit of an edge. 

     

    Excited to see some of the stuff mentioned in this thread so far!

    I chatted with them and no new news so far with new batteries

    @kornomaniac, I like that you're trying to be all even-handed and whatnot, but it looks like you haven't actually read the thread here.  There are dates, and a discussion about searching for the part in various places, including an inquiry with Makita.

     

    One retailer coming to the defense of another?  Sure, fine, whatever.  But you've got to recognize that the (apparent) bias in taking that position requires a bit more rigor.

     

    It is long since past the delivery date for the product; I have contacted the retailer outside of this forum (as is mentioned above); and I have received no reply from him.

     

    With regard to "jumping" to conclusions:  From the vantage of the consumer, the experience has indicated clearly enough that the seller was either over-eager and poorly informed (and in the aftermath unwilling to make his error right) or flat-out dishonest.  How much patience has he earned by holding my money and abstaining from communication?

    Hey man are you still looking for the part I have a repair shop that might have it I could call them up and see if u like

    Nice find. Some people may think the handle is overkill, but having used these before, I know better. If room allows, use it. These bad boys can hurt you. (or me)

    Yes I have had some experience with my 1/2 corded makita  beast in the past

    Just got this awhile ago for $20 and I cleaned up and re greased it up and made a handle because these drills have quite a bit of torque . It has a selector for low and high  . low is 300 rpms and high is 1200 rpms . The forward and reverse u tilt back for reverse and forward for forward. I have used it once and I can tell you its a powerful drill.  Total Hours put in to cleaning it 4 h . I love her and look forward to using her in the future ;) thanks for stopping by

  19. Opinions on Genuine Makita batteries

    in Makita

    Posted

    I have quite a strong opinion on this topic. Have argued on here with several people in the past about this so I though what is yalls opinions. I without any doubt will always buy genuine makita batteries . I trust the genuine batteries I know what quality and such they are , but knock offs who knows what came from where or if its put together correctly and so on. I have heard a couple different cases of knock off batteries starting on fire . is saving 40 or so bucks really worth your house and tools or shed and tools burning down because u saved a couple bucks for me no . I won't buy knock offs

  20. What kind of tool user are you???

    in Pub Talk

    Very good question lol as everyone I am sure knows I keep my tools up to top notch I clean them after every use and dont lend out I have spent countless hours on cleaning and repairing tools or restoring . like my 9 inch bosch I dont want anyone but me to operate because I have spent more then 24hours on it . Its sad to see how people treat there tools in a awful manner and then they go and say they are trash well its how you use the tool too. I only baby a few tools and others I push but not hard. I cringe when people absolute go ham and beat the shit out of them like stepping on cords pisses me off or throwing tools down I dont stand for if u do that then your not using my tools again. Sorry for the rant but when I use my tools I put them away in better condition . and to the very few I lend out I expect them to come back in better condition then I gave them in.

    Toolaholic and toolpig in Instagram mentioned that the Makita vibrates Alot in the air, but inside the cut it's very good with anti vibe.

    I agree if u get it steblized good it cuts very well

    Right now a couple Bosch ones, I've used other brands with good results too, I don't get em very often as I seem to get em to last quite well.  I'm not too picky which brand I get generally my criteria is availability and price.

    Where u get the bosch Lowes ?
