Hugh Jass Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Every new impact I've looked that does have nut busting torque listed so I'm not sure what the complaints are about. And I doubt we'll see tool industry standardization any time soon. It took 20 years to get towing ratings standardised for truck manufacturers...don't think anyone is really worried about tools. It would have to be on all fronts meaning for instance dewalt couldn't use UWO, Rigid vac's wouldn't be rated by horsepower but probably lift, and so on... which is great for consumers but manufacturers won't be interested in following suit, it'll cause a ton of competition.

dwain Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 I have it from Makita's mouth today that the nut-busting torque is 1700Nm! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Thats inline with the highest torque of that tool then.Cant wait to get it in my hands now for a BL recipro and werd all set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 The brushless recip would be nice. I switched to Milwaukee years ago but I always regretted losing the circular and recip from Makita, I always like those better than my Milwaukees. Doesn't matter now, I'm all over the freakin' place with different tool lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swaglosrevival Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 I would never use it, but I want it. my baby hulk is good enough to take off tire bolts and that is as far as I go with automobiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 now for a BL recipro and werd all set I have also seen pictures and heard about a BL recip which rivals the FUEL, and an 18x2 which is quite superior. But that is from a Makita perspective ... Still, very promising! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarynH Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I dont have them, it was in a Makita training/service centre,I hope that since the fuel sawzall is a few years old Milwaukee is designing a fuel super sawzall with orbital. They have to know that makita is working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kornomaniac Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 If they can cut the cord off their sawzall they have now it'll be a winner.Doubt that will be possible. Their AVT Recipro is 1500 watts. ( is that 14 amps in american terms? ) So far there aren't any 18V tools on the market that can deliver thesame power as a 1500 watt (14 amps ? ) corded tool.

If they can run a table saw off their batteries I think a sawzall that powerful wouldn't be too hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK13 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 One of you overseas guys can buy me the 1/2 drive kit and send it to me. I'll even let you keep the charger.

Andrull Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I think tool companies are pretty close, with metabos new battery tech we'll be there soon. If they can run a table saw off their batteries I think a sawzall that powerful wouldn't be too hardIf we assume that they actually got battery-tech that can deliver what they say it can, both in capacity and power. It probably would be pretty close.Remember, 1500 Watts in this comparison, is just the input power, meaning, if you got a more efficient motor, say a brushless, you could lower this by a 20-30%, and still get the same power output. So in reality, the batteries would "only" need to deliver around 1200W, continuous. Still way too much for a normal 18V battery today, and would barely be achieveable with 2x18V (and would give you less than 9 min. runtime with 2x5Ah). Metabo's claim with 87 % more runtime, and 67 % more power would make it pretty darn close. And if you make a few adjustments, giving the tool a bit lower RPM (and use the brushless favorable high torque ratings), you could probably make a close sibling of the tool. Though, I would take Metabo's numbers with a little grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 This Impact wrench is badass! I dont even have a huge need for one but it will definitely be added to the hoard! now.... as for the long awaited, much needed BL recip saw that this thread has started talking about..... COME ON MAKITA!!! I do appreciate and respect that they are obviously taking their time to make it right the first time around instead of releasing a half ass attempt but its time already... i have been lusting for a better Makita cordless recip saw for years now. a lot of times, at least durring demo, it is the only corded tool that comes out of the trailer which makes it such a hassle. I have their current 18v but its just junk.. I have also seen pictures and heard about a BL recip which rivals the FUEL, and an 18x2 which is quite superior. But that is from a Makita perspective ... Still, very promising! do you happen to know anything about it? specs? are you saying that they are coming out with both an 18v and a 18vX2?

dwain Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 No i don't know any specs yet (what specs are there on a recip apart from SPM? which is quite useless). Yes Makita are releasing a BL 18V and a 2x18V (not sure if it is brushless). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Pretty cool. I wonder if they will stagger the release at all or release then at realitively the same time.. As far as specs I was really just digging for any info you might have had. SPM. Stroke length. Features like orbit settings, anti vibe. Rafter hook . led . movable shoe.... That kind of stuff.

Yeah true. but much like circ saws and grinders, what we really want to know if how much power it has. How much it bogs down under a hard load. The manufacturers don't tell us this, particularly with cordless tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
