Turner85 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 So in search of brushless tools that dewalt didn't offer I've found myself buying into makita. My Dhr243 is on route to be followed by the dhs680 and djv181 whenever postage cost is set by seller.I went for the sds with charger and batteries and circular saw and jigsaw bare tool as that was the cheapest way I could combine them. Also just went with two batteries in the hope the new ones with fuel gauge will arrive soon. And I know dewalt have a brushless sds but couldn't find a single review on it so that's why I've went with the Makita one and for what the dewalt was costing bare I found the Makita with 2 5ah batteries vacuum charger and case for about 100 extra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruton Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 That's a nice pickup Turner! I just got the brushless circ saw a few weeks ago. I love it man. Great cutting saw. I haven't drug my poor old hypoid saw out since I get this one. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illini Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 I also got into Makita because Dewalt has been dragging their feet on upgrading a bunch of their tools to brushless. I recently picked up the Makita brushless angle grinder and I'm going to grab the brushless barrel grip jigsaw when I have some extra funds. I originally got into brushless tools with a Makita LXDT01 Impact several years ago, but Makita had a lull in brushless tools for a couple of years. That brought me to Dewalt for a brushless drill and multitool, but now I'm back with Makita. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy man and make sure to give us an update.Sent from my SM-N900V using TapatalkI will put them all to test next week. Didn't even know the circular saw came with an adapter for the guide rail. That's a nice bonus because I already have the plunge saw and guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illini Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 New tool day. I'm looking at getting a Makita MACPAC case when I finally buy the bare tool Makita brushless jigsaw like you have. It looks like your jigsaw came in the same size case as the cordless circular saw. Can you tell me which case that is and if you think the jigsaw would fit into the next smaller case if you didn't have to cram all the accessories in to it?

Turner85 Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 It's makpac type 3. I'm not sure if it will fit in the smaller case. If your buying the case you will more than likely need to order the plastic insert for the type of tool going in it. I've seen a few sites that do these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
