Jronman Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Anyone know this was a thing? It flew under my radar. I knew about the other subcompact stuff like the drill without hammer, impact, rotary hammer, recip saw, and rumored jig saws but didn't know about this guy.

Logan Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 its the first ive heard about it but I don't follow makita too close. Should be a great tool though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D W Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I think a teal version has been out in AUS for a year(?or so) now. The subcompact stuff here isn't really marketed as a "range", it's all just the same color and blends in with the rest, no special marketing. I'm not sure we get all of them either. I ordered the subcompact drill driver from the US thinking I couldn't get one locally but I actually could have. I like the black color so it was worth the wait.

Yes you are correct, the sub compact drill/driver and hammer has been out here for well over a year. The impact around march this year. We got everything except the sub compact recip but shouldnt be too far away. Who did you order the black kit from in the states ? Aok power equipment will ship to Australia. I pick up a black sub compact kit from Home Depot and carried it back to AUS meself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drill and 2 x 2.0ah batteries was only $224 delivered to AUS. I already had an impact driver so I didn't get the black impact with it, but could have got it with another kit they offered. The kits also had no US charger included so I guess that helped lower the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
