dwain Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 to be honest yes i was focusing on there strenghs but makitas only weak points (tools) i would say is there recip saw and maybe there cordless impact wrench i know milwaukee crushes them on those 2 tools but i cant really think about any other weak points oh.and maybe fuel gauges but they fixed that.now The battery gauges sure help! And you're right, with the BL grinder and circ saw Makita have brought their lineup right back to the top with Milwaukee. I would also add that they don't match the compact drills of the other top brands, which is probably my most used tool. I have Makita & Milwaukee pretty much tied at the moment (on my comparison spreadsheet). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwain Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 nobody forgets about the dtd148 around here, its all anybody's been talking about for the last couple of months, so many comparisons! It really is one of the best tools of the last year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turner85 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I guess we'll agree to disagree, half of my tools are nearing their 5 year mark. That alone has shown me what they're made of. They get used 7 days a week and used hard. They might not be a hilti or metabo but I would put their durability up against makita or dewalt all day. You don't give your tools a Sunday off?
