Probably unnecessary on my compact drill but I'd just got the battary protectors in the mail and wanted to test out. This type battery protectors don't work on dtw1001 or the other high torque impacts unless using a compact battery.

Picked one of the compact drill drive up the other week

You guys do realize your Makita batteries were probably just as hot as the Milwaukee and you were just burning the cells up shortening their lives. Also 3.0 LTX batteries were notorious for early failures even brand new packs due to bad cell monitoring.
Yes Ive thought that my self. Milwaukee are a sealed battery unit and Makita have drain holes and vents. Maybe they magane heat better ?

Good to know, the 1/2" are probably a similar story. Seems like Milwaukee batteries are more sensitive and liable to shut themselves down.
I agree with 1/2 similar. I found the same thing will milwaukee fuel grinder, battery would over heat and Makita didn't when doing the same task

I really like the looks of that chainsaw!
It was unreal to use. It's cuts nearly twice as fast as the current 18x2 brushed chain saw

Brushless impact 10.8v CXT confirmed by the way
TD111D
135 newtons and 3000 rpms.
20mm shorter then the current brushed CXT impact
Interesting, wonder if a 3/8 Impact wrench will come.
I was asking a makita Australia rep last week and was told not at this stage, they are marketing the cxt range more to woodwork

Why 3/4" impact and not 1/2"?
I didn't have the fuel high torque 1/2.
I was using makita BL 3/4 and fuel 3/4 on a job a few months ago. I was replacing M30 structural bolts on a steel truss to column connection. I was pushing both really hard, some bolts would need like a minute of reverse impacting, some needed to be cut off with the oxy. Over the space of 20 hours, with on and off uses thought out the day, milwaukee batteries over heated a number of times. Makita only once.

I agree with you.
Im aware that most tool are made in China. I was just point out the makita 36v is made in Japan. I've found the vibrations aren't that bad and many factors affect the vibrations, blade type, brand, material being cut, shoe adjustment.

Feel better? I say these things in jest, if you hadn't noticed. Everybody makes Tools in China, even Makita. I know I could not go with DeWalt because any existing batteries I would have for the previous 20 volt line would now no longer work with their new 60 volt reciprocating saw. Makita would be a no-brainer if I had their battery platform already. But I can't wait around for them to come out with a comprable reciprocating saw especially since it vibrates more than the other two saws. I think bremon said it before, we are better off than we have ever been before so any brand you go with Will suit you very well

The Makita BL dhp481 does out perform the fuel gen 2
I think every decent online comparison review showed that. Not the biggest margin mind you. But still, the Makita wins for bragging rights.
?
Same goes for 3/4 fuel and fuel grinder, I've had battery over heating problems

they really should have included the 18v brushless in that test.
I reckon the 18v would still out do the another 2 on over heating
-
Yes the makita BL.
I was drilling 13mm holes in to 6mm plate all day next to my mate using a milwaukee fuel and me using makita BL. Which drill ran fine all day ? Makita Which batteries keep over heating ? Milwaukee

Meh, being three years behind the fuel sawzall took them long enough lol!!!... Plus I need real world tests
....
Meh, fuel made in China, makita 36v Japan. Makita have got a hell of lot more tools that smash milwaukee. 3/4 impact, BL hammer drill, dt170 just to name a few.
-
Credit to Kruger construction over on Instagram. Looks like makita 36v smashed them all in a battery over heat test. Longest run time before the over heat protection kicked. The photo tells the story

Any idea if they have an autofeed attachment coming? It really sucks that the one drywall gun with push drive can't use screw strips.
This is pretty nice though. No reason for drywall guns to be so long. Not like two inches is gonna help reach the ceiling.
Not sure about an auto feed attachment

Wow that looks awesome. Same features as the currently available one?
It appears to have the same features as the current one, just 2inches shorter

Saw this on another page today. A new compact BL screwdriver. They are available Amazon Japan and ebay shipped out of Japan. $340 usd

Hmm. Well if it's the noticeably more premium product then it might be worth it then. Still seems like an awkward unit and I'm surprised there isn't noticeably more power to it.
Oh, and for Hugh, I just watched a video on the FlexVolt recip that states it has a low vibration crank case lol. The 20v Max version product page's only mention of comfort is the rubber overmold lol so maybe it really has been improved.
I like the feel of the 36v better. It's around 7.5mm wider each side compared to the 18v

this thread just keeps on giving lol. I'll echo Dwain's sentiments about being excited for FlexVolt. I'll have a good chuckle if there's no isolation in that unit either. Looks great in a power comparison video, but you may have to factor dental work into the purchase price.
As to the Makitas...can't imagine getting the 18x2 version. COO would be the main reason for me but not a good enough reason to drag 20 cells on the ass end of it.
It adds 600g to the weight the extra battery. Tigger, speed switch, shoe adjust lever and black over mould feel and look better on djr360

New brushless 1/2 impact wrench spotted at a makita expo in Sydney yesterday.
Dtw285
Has same specs as dtw281, has a new mode added. Cuts power to the motor when not under load in reverse.
Friction ring for socket retention.

Dwain, I did reply to the message on FB about the blade and that.
I can't wait either. I waiting for the flexvolt sds max. The grinder looks good too, 1700w. The only thing I hate and probably is a deal breaker for me is the paddle switch.
-
Dwain, I asked the rep about the blades. They were both changed to new not long before and they had only done about 5 cut each. Yes you have a good point about down push, that going to be the only variable. The rep was about the same height and build as me, so I guess the down push was similar.
I think you should do another video and put this debate to bed.
Do a video comparing djr187, djr360, milwaukee fuel and dealt 54v recip when it comes out. Do some time testing on hardwood, 20mm thick steel flat bar and 100nb steel pipe. Also maybe some stainless steel.
