It’s been a ghost town lately, so I’ll post something…
Even though I have no use for this, I thought it was cool.
It has been too quiet here.
Likewise I don’t have much personal utility for this but it’s nice to see Makita is embracing brushless on a lot of new tools even specialty units that others are unlikely to release competing products against.
I would like to see them release some current tools in brushless. I saw somewhere they’re releasing brushless versions of all their handheld vacuum cleaners. Hope they plan to do the same with their regular orbital sander (among other tools).
I’d love a brushless multitool and compact in-line reciprocating saw (xrj01 style). As long as we’re wishing, I’d also like a full sized X2 router, 18v and X2 beltsanders, more/better lighting options, and orbital motion added to the reciprocating saws… oh yeah, and a table saw…
