Makita family portrait – Page 3

NERemodeling · 2014-12-23T05:24:07+00:00

Here is my current arsenal of cordless makita. I've added a decent amount to to it recently so I thought I would round them all up. The 11 open batteries are all 3ah, the new 2 pack is 3ah and the 5 new single packs are 4ah. Started this back in 09 and all the originals (minus one charger that died) are still alive and well. Trust me, they don't get babied, especially the older ones.. they have seen it all.. rain, mud, drywall/plaster/concrete dust freezing temps, over 100* temps, fallen off roofs and just plain hard use. I have probably had 5 batteries die on me in that time but none that were less than 3 years old.. in fact I still have one battery from 09 that won't quit and 3 from 2010 that are strong as ever. I'm looking forward to the release of the new impact and the new circ saw! I'm also thinking of getting the 18v string trimmer for home in the spring.

I would like to get a brushless makita impact what would u recommend that doesn’t eat a whole through my wallet. this is my current impact have had it about 2 1/2 years old and use it everyday

Conductor562Member since Nov 2011Dec 19, 2016 3:51 PM CT

That’s a pretty impressive family pic. I like that there are a lot of older tools still in use. Really speaks to the quality of the older Makita stuff.

I’d say either the new single speed xdt13 which is pretty reasonable or the xdt14 which is a 3 speed and a Lil more money personally I like the different speeds

The MLT100 is hopefully the worst tool Makita make. Good ideas, poor implementation. I still need to upload more vids on all the mods you need to make to this saw to make it decent.

They sure are! I have only just got them so haven’t given them a good long run yet, but so far so good.

Look up the OTT review. It should make the choice pretty easy.

Makita make fantastic planers, always have. They have always been the best over the years. As mentioned above, check out Dwains YT vid on Planers and the decision should be clear. Although it also depends on which platform you use the most,etc.

Yeah that’s a shame as I want one, but know I will be unhappy with it. Trying to get away from air tools and this is the last tool that I really use my compressor for.

kornomaniacMember since Oct 2014Dec 22, 2016 2:49 PM CT

Makita said in stafda this year they are remaking the cordless nailed fortunately 🙂

The pin nailer isn’t the best , but the Brad nailer dbn500 is positively the worst Makita tool ever in my opinion 😀

I would love to cut the cord. Of course being that unicorns run free in my heart with sleeping beauty lying upon them I know my 20v brad nailer will be here soon. Uh….
