D W Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Saw looks great. Loving the subcompact range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMG Posted September 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Three piece combo kit was added to the site. https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/CX300RB Kind of interesting to see an all black tool bag instead of the normal teal color, but I would have preferred they use a MakPac over a soft case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK13 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Dang, I like that 3 piece kit... looking forward to reading tests on the new saw... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 If I didn't have that brushless 18v full size one I'd be all over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Supposedly the compact saw is almost as strong as the normal 18v brushless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMG Posted September 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 OooooOOoooo... The new x2 seven inch grinder was posted to the site this morning. Oi Vay, I am going to go broke buying tools this holiday season. https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/XAG12Z1 https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/XAG12PT1 Not impressed by the soft case tool bag with the kit though.

Wouldn't be too big of a stretch if they used them here for the compact kits.

I think I'd take the bag That particular bag in the pic is not that small either, and I dislike lumping all the different parts into one large open container where they just beat on each other when riding down the road in the truck. Also, when quoting large posts, please edit the quote to remove excess items like the pictures and spurious text. It makes it easier to read the thread.
