There are a couple things missing
I will reserch / talk to several Product managers at the worlds larges construction show in Munich
also in all Q1 2017 Europe brochures there is no 18V (20V max) 6,0Ah battery
also the Flexvolt radio is not listed, I have confirmation and price for availability in Germany
To the Hammer drills
be aware one is SDS+ the other is SDS max ! (two different type chucks!)
cheers
What are the new heavy duty red and green lasers, line lasers ? From the previous post you made.

Haven't seen this mentioned but if anyone cares, the size of the cell is actually the part number...
18650 is 18mm diameter x 65mm length
20700 is 20mm x 70mm
18650 cells are truly at their limit at 3000mah. The heat generated at high amp discharge just burns them up and shortens the life.
20700 cells have lots of headroom at 3000mah, and are on par to hit close to 5000mah at the ceiling before its all done.
However, with the efficiency of the tools going up so quickly, I don't necessarily think there will be a strong need for batteries above 6ah sizes. Yeah, it can be done, but the tool becomes so heavy and unweilding at that point, I don't want to have to carry and use the darn thing. Just give me a few 4ah or 5ah batteries, and a better, quicker charger (maybe a dual input voltage of 12/120 volts with a 30 minute charge time for 5ah batteries).. Or contact charging like bosch or even maybe a tough system charger powered by a massive battery pack enough to charge say 5 or 6 5ah batteries
With a setup like that, I'd run circles around anyone with a 9ah setup.That would really depend on the tool being used, for example Milwaukee 2715 fuel rotary hammer drill. Drilling a 25mm dia hole paired will 9ah battery will run circles around the same drill with 5ah battery. 9ah gives the drill more power, drilling time is quicker and the 5ah battery overheats pretty quickly

That's interesting... news to me
It's just a rumour I've heard from a few Milwaukee reps in Australia. Not sure on how ture it is

I thought there was word of a slim 3.0 m18 coming out
. Or maybe I misunderstood.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ProThat's what I've heard too. I also heard it's height is shorter then the current 2ah and a 12ah battery is in the works. I've been told is height is shorter then the 9ah

where can I get it in Canada??
This drill is out in Canada. Dhp484, same part number as Australia. US is different part number

From what I've discussed with Makita tool reps and online, apparently there were complaints about the large step-up in rpm/ipm between the medium setting and the high / max setting (3rd position) on the TD148 / XDT09Z. The TD170 / XDT12Z has a fourth step inserted in between med/hi that alleviates this concern.
Again, from much time researching online, it appears the "A" - Assist mode is meant for longer fasteners, where the screw will be driven more slowly at first start until it hits the required resistance, then it will speed up and start impacting. Slow 'n go at first, then rock n' roll.
"T" / Tek / Tech mode is the opposite. It speeds up initial rotation so self-tappers can get started, then it starts impacting.
I have a TD170 in green coming from Japan from the same seller as listed above. Besides the cool color and uniqueness of having Japanese lettered buttons, I wanted to be sure to get an impact made in Japan.
My concern appears to have been misplaced, because so far from what I've seen all of the XDT12Z's sold here in the U.S. have also been made in Japan. So was my Mak XWT08Z 1/2" Impact Wrench. Unsure of what the actual made-in-Japan component % has to be in Japan to qualify to be listed as "Made..." there, but its nice to start to see more and more tools coming out from there instead of China.
P.S. What's interesting is that on most sites or through most eBay sellers, the TD148 has a higher list price and is selling for a bit more than the TD170. Wonder why...?
They were selling dt170 in the USA with made in China on the box but the tool sticker said made in Japan.
Doesn't matter if you buy from Japan or not. I bought a td111 from a eBay seller in Japan who I bought a my green td170, the td111 was made in China

I too write my name where the battery slides on, I have each serial number in my phone on the One Key app as well, if there is any question
I like the idea of the engraver, although I am pretty much in close vicinity to my tools throughout the day with very few people around me to worry about it walking off.
I like the idea of GPS tracking though, sounds like Milwaukee was doing something like that in Australia...
Tick is the name of this little tracking device and it was leaked during Australia NPS16, so that info is long gone, I guess they'll release it when they're ready
The tick is the same thing used in one key tool, you can put it on ladders etc. It works on Bluetooth, they need to make one with the ability to have a SIM card, same with one key tool. You could track your tools everywhere then

I just spazzed out and posted about recip saws, sorry ....
As above, I don't think Makita are at the top of the cordless rotary game at the moment. And I've heard the 18x2 is little / no better than the 18V BL.
This comparison has the 18V and the 36V, not the 18x2.
Makita x2 is a quick drill and specs are underrated, it's down fall is the vibrations. Milwaukee has that covered

Yes, that's why he posted in the Makita section
I have no experience with Makita, but those that do, said the Milwaukee 2715 is heavier hitting and quicker than either the 18v or X2.... Just putting that out there if you aren't already invested in Makita.
It also depends what you're planning on doing. I don't do a whole lot of either drilling or chipping, so I got a lighter 18v Fuel hammer and it's perfect for my needs.
If you need someone to give you specifics on either tool, maybe someone here might know.
What's your main use for one going to be?
The makita x2 drilling a 1inch hole will drill quicker then Milwaukee 2715 with a 5ah battery, throw a 9.0 and it will beat the x2. 2715 vibration is way less then the makita

The color ones are just empty shells.... Hmmm maybe I can convert my old set.
A guy in Japan on eBay sells the colored impacts, eBay name yosh-set

and also i want you to realize that you can put 6.0, 3 layered battery's on the makita and therefor have twice the potential of the others. a higher voltage also helps reduce amp draw and therefore heat witch makes more potential possible...
Can't beat the Milwaukee one key, I have makita BL 36v and the Milwaukee one key saws. Milwaukee runs circles around the makita

I have used my 5.0 on my SDS max and noticed no difference.
I use the 9.0 on all my tools.
I haven't used a 4.0 on the SDS max yet, and I don't own anything smaller.
Do you a notice a performance boast with the 9.0 on the sds max ? Compared with the 5.0

oooh i think i found what it is. toolpig has some nice pictures of new subcompact drills. Essentially 12v drills but with 18v batteries. interesting.
The drill has been out for awhile in Australia but not in black. The drill is the same as the 12v expect the chuck on the 18v is 1/2 not 3/8 as the 12v, makes the 18v slightly longer

Not sure if this has been posted, but I had the opportunity to put my paws on these, and it is slick! I was previously eye balling the 12V CXT line for the smaller size, but no need anymore - now I can continue to stay with my 18V platform.

I've got the 18v drill you posted links too, I posted photos earlier in the thread. I also have the 12v BL cxt drill. It is a tad shorted then the 18v, but only because the 12v has a 3/8 chuck and 18v having 1/2. If I had to choose between the 2, I would take the 12v cxt

Every reputable manufacturer I can think of makes a small, high rpm, low impact energy rotary hammer for small holes and softer materials. If it's hard enough that I can't use a twist bit, I want a rotary hammer.
Yeah I know and thought about buying the m12 rotay hammer for small holes but I only drill 7mm and below diameter holes a few times a year. I mostly drill 12mm-28mm and got the makita BL rotary hammer, the milwaukee m18chp and a few corded hilti's

I agree with Jeff. The M12 Fuel is an awesome little unit, for example, and if I drilled small anchors regularly I'd buy the right tool for the job.
I agree on that. What I was getting at if you don't drill small anchors regularly a hammer drill will get the job done for a few holes around the house

14mm is a decent bit for such a compact drill meant for tight spaces
The problem with compact hammer drills is the same as larger hammer drills just worse. If I could always have an SDS drill on hand and never tough a hammer drill again I'd be happier.
6 hours ago, Bremon said:That's still over half an inch on a tool that's meant to be minuscule, and likely not very much fun to drill concrete with. I'm not calling out Makita on this; basically all hammer drills add that amount of length. When you're using a full size drill it doesn't matter as much.
Sometimes an sds is not really suitable, too much impact joules. An example of where a small compact hammer would be good, installing wall plugs in a house with old brick ( soft brick ) and the dill dia is only 6mm or 1/4

Agreed Jimbo. It's a task that they're not really well suited to, and they add a bit of weight and length to a tool that otherwise focuses on how light and compact they are. Compact drill/drivers: fantastic.
One the makita BL cxt 12v max the hammer adds 14mm to the overall length and bugger all weight. Comparing it to the BL drill/drive

It is small, not a fan of compact hammers, I used it on my m12 Fuel once and wish I never even did that

Hello all !
I just received Makita's new compacts yesterday. Atleast the hammer drill model
Here are some comparison pictures between the old model DHP480 and the new DHP484
On the left side: Old DHP480
On the Right side: New DHP484
We see a much higher speed. 2000 rpm's against the old 1550 and an aluminium gear housing instead of plastic
Size comparison in height:
The new DHP484 is noticably shorter. About 2 centimetrers
Size comparison from the back:
Also here we see the body of the new DHP484 is slimmer
Size comparison from the top:
Now the new Model is on the Left of course. We see it's alot shorter again but a littlebit bigger in the Width?
And finaly a weight comparison:
5 Grams heavier !
All in all very good upgrades
This is the new BL hammer model in Australia DHP483Z

Yeah i saw that posted above? It is a similar test? Are either of them controlled (e.g. not different users)
Toolpig's video is of him doing both. Something eles interesting is, he has a China made 36v and it doesn't have a tool free shoe adjustment lever

i think Makita have (for obvious reasons) handpicked a test that shows a difference between the 18V and 18x2 units. There's always a way to show a tool in good light.
Toolpig on Instagram has a video showing the same result as my video, 36v more powerful. It seems that makita are making 36v model, 18v model in Japan and China

Tool pig has a clip up on Instagram claiming x2 has more power. Watching the video he definitely gets through a tougher cut in better time with the x2 unit.
I saw that, I aslo have a video I did at a makita expo a few weeks ago. It's a similar result as toolpig

Dewalt 20v Brushless Circular Saw

Yes that 18v makita smashes all the competition but you would expect that from a company that made the first electric planer I believe
