NicholasShetley Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 It looks like they are going for the small and compact 12v line. Any word on a brushless impact driver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Not that i know off yet cant see it being far bevind i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Nice. Looks compact!! I bet the impact will be tiny!I wish they somehow made it so these batteries could be charged on their 18v charger or that they come out with a dual voltage charger like milwaukee. Otherwise I really have no incentive to swap my m12 tools out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 I'm with NER, it would be awesome for them to do what Dewalt did and make the compact batteries for on an inner slide. Regardless....SUPER COOL LOOKING! Can't wait to see those guys get released! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Dual charger would be very cool.Altho makitas fast chargers ( both the 18v and the 10.8v charger) are already quite big. Maybe itll be too big if they combine em ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Is the toolpig guy from instagram on the forum here btw NERe ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrull Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 An extra dc-dc inverter would probably not take up much more space inside the charger. You'd still could have the same voltage regulator and computer stuff. Same transformer, PFC and filter circuitry etc...It would not need to be more than 10-15 % more expensive, tops.

comp56 Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 my first cordless impact was a 10.8v lithium back 2003/4 was bleeding edge back then they have come a far way since.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiltiWpg Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 That's awesome for Makita. In my opinion, 10-12v is the perfect size and weight for most applications.Add some brushless love and a competitive price, you have a winner!Sent from my ONE E1005 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Looks like a nice compact drill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Yep we dont have the new 10.8v. Brushed drills in belgium yet and im already excited for the brushless version hitting the shelves ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 And most important: this proces to me that Makita is going to take their new 10.8 / 12v max platform Very seriously. Compared to their old lackluster 10.8v offerings this is looking decent. Fastest charger in the 12v category. Decent amperage batteries.Very good ergonimic grips.Slide batteries.And Makita is showing that they are willing to make 12v brushless tools for the platform.I like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 So over the last month I've noticed that they don't have stick batteries for new 12v, are they going to make the 12v sticks disappear or run them together, that could get a little overwhelming from a new buyers perspective.JimboSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie17 Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 I have the bosch 12v drill and driver right now, I was liking the looks of these makitas, but they aren't much more compact are they? would the switch be worth while? probably not at this point...

kornomaniac Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 I can only imagine that the old line will dissappear. Batteries/tools/ charger are not interchangeable.@chewieDepends on what size you are looking at. In height these are obvious bigger then bosch's offerings.But in head lenght this new brushless 10.8 / 12v model DF332 by Makita had one OD the if not the shortest head lenght available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 @chewieI already consider Bosch 12v as one of the best 12v lines around so unless yours are run down and u neef new ones there is no reason for you to change 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiltiWpg Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Fastest charger in the 12v category.

Now everyone is using them!You just can't beat them for overall convenience.

ChrisK Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Truthfully, my first drill I got to is my CXS over my T18 or my Bosch 18v. Now those darn Hiltis are making their way onto the assembly table 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 60 minutes for a 4 amp battery.I know that the old Makita/ Bosch / dewalt need 50 minutes for a 1.5 amp.Maybe hilti/Milwaukee goes faster ?

kornomaniac Posted December 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Here in belgium atleast the hilti 12v is 40 minutes for 2.5 amp batteries. So thats slightly slower then the Makita.I find it harder to find the charging times for Milwaukee m12 but i believe also an hour for a 4.0 amp on their newer rapid charger.Any m12 owners that can tell me if rapid charger comes standard with a tool kit ?
