Some Makita Driving Innovation tour is tomorrow. I don’t know much about it but from the posts on instagram I have seen, it kinda seems like another road show similar to what Festool, Bosch, and DeWALT offer.

A Makita side by side that operates on 18V LXT packs? 😂

I would like to hear some Makita noise. Even plenty happy as I am with their current selection.

my guess is they will finally announce their 21700 packs but so far I haven’t heard anything from Makita today.

Looks like it is another road show type deal. Almost sounded like there were multiple trucks so maybe more events will happen than the other guys who do road shows? https://www.makitatools.com/drivinginnovation/?utm_source=Makita+Subscriber&utm_campaign=039dc458ad-driving_innovation_2018_06_25&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_653957b024-039dc458ad-205966177

Let me know when they announce something as exciting as their rear handle saw. 21700s when?

@Bremon not sure but I heard something awhile back that Makita had planned to use 21700 cells.
