DHR282 probably helps a bit, being brushless, but the current DHR264 certainly could use more runtime.
Im packing 9 5Ah batteries and two twin chargers with me at work.
And that isn't enough?

With the tools that are overheating batteries then I can see the requirement. However with much of the X2 OPE gear there's no space for expansion or larger batteries anyway, chainsaws included.
The 36v 9" would benefit but at the same time I see it as a bit of a gimmick for anything other than short bursts of work. The price has fallen by 2/3s in the UK since this time last year so I think the market feels the same way.
Makita don't have a rotary hammer which needs any more than they currently offer. We'll see what the DHR282 is like but it's not a requirement and more of a desire.
Just do what I do, take more than one battery to work with you and you'll be fine.

Being realistic, what woild a SS or HD battery give you that you don't already have?
Not much is the answer.

Heard the same issues with the rails but none that haven't said it was rectified. Can't think of a mitre saw, Makita, DeWalt or otherwise I haven't spent an hour or two on putting into square to start with.

I don't think so.
I've seen a couple imported to the UK but I don't think we'll see it in stores.

I'm not even going to read your wall of text. I'm gonna assume it's thesame thing you post everytime. I hope for your sake you just copy/pasted it from the last time.
A small tip tho: if your crew has a makita crdless plunge saw that bogs down, then tell em to put the blade in the right way
Did you know the wood they use to frame is different to the wood they use in workshops? I didn't.

Cant speak on the Makita but with joe saying it bogs down I would put it in the shop style category
It really doesn't. Pair of fully charged 5s or 6s at full depth 45 powers through most mid to hard woods at quite a surprising rate. It's pretty amazing how a 36v cordless saw can perform so well.

The flexvolt is great...use them at work everyday...the Makita my other crew has, broke and struggled to push through dense material
First person I've ever heard say it broke or struggled. Are you sure it wouldn't be your bias talking? Without wanting to sound rude, I think you need to grow up. They're just tools, if you don't like them, try something else lol. You like DeWalt. Great. Others prefer the Makita.

Have you considered the Makita? $1050 inc 2 batteries. I had the Festool and was bitterly disappointed considering how much I had paid for it (bought 2 chargers, 4 batteries, 3 rails, 2 blades, connectors etc). I think the performance will be better now with the airstream batteries and chargers but I had to send mine back within a month as it was struggling to have any sort of runtime While cutting through 12mm ply. They said the blade was running out of parallel with the track but even after they ‘fixed’ it I was still disappointed so I sold it for the Makita and haven’t regretted it.
I've found the Makita to be far superior to the FlexVolt; it's also better than the festool cordless IMO; but the corded model is hard to beat.

Just to clarify. I am not a shill, just being silly. Companies send products for showcasing and review. I have zero obligations to say, hey, this is awesome. I critique everything equally.

Is shills a positive or negative thing ? I'm confused here
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill
As time has gone on and people have become a little more wise to it, they're a lot more open to their relationship without giving away any more than required to justify their position.

Any idea on release dates anyone?
NA? UK? AUS?
Most of the shills are getting samples in NA so I'd presume it's release could be any time now.
As for UK and AUS, I'd guess at Q2 next year.

They should do a free tool/packout/battery promo. The packout pieces and batteries are getting near or exceeding the cost of a lot of free tools...I don't see why they can't do a packout tote or anything under the rolling base as a promo on kits. Great way to get people into the system. Even if they lose money on the free packout they're getting someone into that system which means more packout sales.
I genuinely think they're presuming people will buy them regardless, and it's true. Some of the hardcore Milwaukee boys will buy anything they put out regardless of quality or cost.

I think if u shoot YouTube vids and tool fights and run tools trying to max them out then I’m sure they get hot.
Some people work like that all day every day.

Got it for Christmas from the wife and of course she didn’t save the receipt. But I’ll try the tool repair center by me see if they can get it warrantied for me
They give tools away all the time to instagrammers so it would be pretty rough if they wouldn't honor a warranty on a faulty product.

Can't wait for him to cut two or three pieces of wood and tell us how amazing it is.

That's what they want you to do, spend more money.

The motor seems clearly off set from the center of the blade no ?
That's correct, as I've illustrated.

wormdrive style
Exactly that. Calling it styled like is the get out clause. The dead give-away is the motor positioning.
It's not actually a hypoid saw either (foolishly, I called it one, but it's not), it's an offset drive spur/gear. A hypoid acts much like a worm drive however it's a spiral cut offset gear mounted 90deg to a face/crown drive.

Makita Battery cell 20700
in Makita
Posted
They don't knock 2/3rds the price off just because they're bringing a model with AWS 😂. Example, the DSP60X is a hot seller so right now there's no more than £40 difference between the 600 and 601 plunge saw with AWS. The DGA900 isn't selling, a look on the history of most eBay listings show it's sold more units in the past month than it did in the 12 months before hand because the market wasn't interested in it at the price it was offered. The 900 will still be available for sale because some people will never need AWS so won't want to pay the premium for it; not to mention the backlog of stock Makita will already hold that can't be repurposed.
As for extra room on the X2, post above hit the nail on the head. All newer X2 tools are set up for a wider battery where as that X2 chainsaw could only accommodate a deeper battery. So no, I really don't think it does have any extra room. Nor does the 302.
