I dig the green impact drivers and drills….

Small brushless circ saw is something we haven’t seen here yet in Europe.

And the mitre saw with vertical bars neither 🙂

There’s a guy on eBay selling Japanese made Makita brushless impactor sin different colors for $199 shipped without batteries. Like the Japanese made too. Not Chinese.

I will probably get one of those. It’d be a tough decision between the green one and the pink one.

I’m pretty sure makita has plans to release the xdt09 (new tiny impact that is selling on ebay) in the first few months of 2015 here in the states.. you won’t get the color choices but you will get the warranty and most likely save a few bucks

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Dec 21, 2014 10:56 PM CT

Yeah more likely than not but owning a pink or green Makita is pretty cool. Not $200 cool but pretty cool nonetheless!

MikevangoMember since Nov 2013Dec 21, 2014 11:36 PM CT

Yea, I’m tripping I probably won’t buy one. There are tools I want more that another impact driver even if it is badass.

Nice eye candy.

I need to make this my mantra every time I wander into Lowes or HD…

NERemodelingMember since Aug 2014Dec 22, 2014 12:37 AM CT

The colors don’t do much for me and I’d rather the warranty, even though i dont need another, I do plan on breaking down and getting the new impact when it’s released here,

Cool pic, thanks for posting

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Dec 22, 2014 4:53 AM CT

Hey….all I’m saying is get to pick the color…..which is ALWAYS cool AND it’s made in Japan! Those little guys now how to make quality tools! That and Sushi. Which truthfully completely grosses me out!
