YukonPlumber Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I can't comment on YouTube for some reason, so just wanted to let you guys know I really enjoyed it and didn't even fall asleep lol jk. Next year maybe have a overall best 18-20 volt cordless tool award(cordless tool of the year award), to the one tool you thought the most of, of all the categories, just a thought. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Well I have seen from other places that we are too pro Milwaukee over here at TIA. The other tool companies didn't put out anything crazy Bosch and Makita were absent for most of the year, and we still, haven't seen the Bosch brushless stuff yet!

DR99 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 It's hard not too win big when you release so many tools in a single year its insane between the M12 and M18 fuel stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Sounds like sour yellow fans to me. We had a lot of Dewalt reviews too. Makita hardly put anything out and Bosch will get more press in 2014.You can only review what the manufacturers send out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Makita only sent out the 36v lawn stuff this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT Custom Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 How is Makita a lost cause? I don't use them but see them on jobsites all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter4187 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Imo we are not seeing big stuff from them here in the Usa, they have the largest 18v line, and we dont even see most of those tools here in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 How is Makita a lost cause? I don't use them but see them on jobsites all the timeMakita let their cordless line slip a bit over the last 2-3 years. They were once a market leader and set many trends. They created the first cordless line, were the first to use Lithium packs, and were using Nimh packs when everyone else was stuck on NiCad, but in recent times it's been a different story. They have been miserably slow in releasing new tools, their 12V line has been a joke, they're the only one of the big 4 without a fuel guage (though the patented one 2 years ago) and their 18V packs have become somewhat synonymous with early failures. In short, quality control issues and lack of product expansion has placed Makita behind the pack, and that's unusual for them. As far as their corded tools go, I have no issue with them and own several. Their cordless line needs some attention though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT Custom Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 We have specialty tool stores here called Berlands they have a 30 foot long Makita display with hundreds of tools in all voltages. And like I said I see them on jobsites all the time. Where are you located ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicholasShetley Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Meanwhile everyone here still uses 18 volt dewalt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter4187 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 It really does seem like I'm the only one with Lithium ion tools in Florida...all you see a dewalt nicad haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 One guy has the older big cordless makita hammer drill. There is a place that rebuilds them here for about $60 with lithium cells so I'm not the only one here with lithium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Home Depot here just added a Big Makita endcap with all their cordless tools. Makita is popular It's seems not as much in the Michigan area though as corded tools go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT Custom Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I haven't used Nicad in almost 15 years I had NiMh until last year when I went to lithium I do see a lot of Dewalt here alsoChase do you work at jobsites or in a shop?

PT Custom Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I managed a hardware store for many years. Really introduced cordless drills to our market. Sold a ton of Makita. All Nicad back then ( almost 20 years ago ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT Custom Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Conductor I really appreciate all your info. You are very well informed I am curious about where you use all these great tools. In the trades or on your own home and vehicles ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
