JMG Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 While I am a Makita fan, their white color tools are not favorites. I have a couple of them and the surface finish of that color housing is a dirt magnet. Impossible to keep clean, especially if used in an automotive repair environment. Good clean tools leave a better impression, in my opinion, when working on site, than ones that look like they have not been well cared for. This may seem a bit anal, but some of the customers I have had over the years could make this attitude look down-right rosy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Nice find Jimbo! I actually had that set a while back. It's pretty decent but the line kind of floundered. The impactor was great. Can't wait to see how the new 12v line goes, they're already introducing brushless ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I haven't seen much with that line but since Hilti introduced their 12v line it looks like the compact 12v line might be in For some major changes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I also hate the fact the case looks like a girls make up case or something. A hard case is nice but make it look like something for a guy Your also buying into a DOA tool line which might be ok for some but not for us tool crazy people here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
