Jjwillac Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Looks like Makita is adopting Bosch's X-lock system on two new angle grinders. https://toolcraze.net/makita-joins-x-lock-with-new-18v-brushless-angle-grinder-dga519zx1-dga519rtj1/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 That is good to hear if only they would do the same with Starlock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Going to be a totally of five manufactures in the x lock system Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Does this 5 include X-lock accessory manufacturers like Diablo who do not make a grinder but will be making X-lock accessories or 5 manufactures of grinders? So far I know Bosch and Makita are making both grinders and accessories and Diablo is making accessories. I would sure hope that two others are DeWALT and Milwaukee just because of how popular the brands are. I would expect a couple smaller companies like Hilti or Fein will be more likley options for the 5. Makita was a surprise just because of how big they are.

Fifth could be a wild card maybe Metabo HPT/HikokiSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
