Hello Guys !
Very interested here in what Makita gear you guys are running 🙂 If yo can spare me the time for some pics !
I’ll go first:
[External image (s6.postimg.org), not copied]
There’s the ventilator ( really love it these days 😛 )
Cirk saw DHS670
DHR243 BL rotary hammer with the vacuum attachment
An older BDF452 Combi dril
King of all impacts DTD148
Brushless grinder DGA504
The compact recip saw DJR183
Track ( for use with the cordless cirk saw )
The radio
Heated jacket for the winters
=)
And this is not really my personal collection with my responsibility and personal toy store !
It’s the hardware store where i work. Makita is my main responsability there 🙂
As you can see we have quite a large selection of Makita Tools stocked so if anyone needs a closer look / small video on any of these tools. Let me know !!
[External image (s6.postimg.org), not copied]
Angle grinders, Rotary hammers, Hammer drills, etc…
[External image (s6.postimg.org), not copied]
Petrol cut off saws. There’s the super compact EK6100 300mm. Then the EK7300 350mm. Third one is the 4 stroke ! and barely visible the electric cut off saw
[External image (s6.postimg.org), not copied]
That’s in front of the store. Mitre saws /table saws and a display with the 4 stroke combi engine with different attachments.
[External image (s6.postimg.org), not copied]
More mitre saws and table saws

This is our 18V cordless selection ( well one 10.8V and one 14v tool up there )
[External image (s6.postimg.org), not copied]
Various woodworking tools and some 18v combi kits
[External image (s6.postimg.org), not copied]
Diamond core drilling machines and some 18V combi kits
[External image (s6.postimg.org), not copied]
Cirk saws, recip saws, a few laser tools and a selection of hedge trimmers
[External image (s6.postimg.org), not copied]
Chain saws and the 4stroke and 36v Combi motor with different attachments
[External image (s6.postimg.org), not copied]
Brush cutters, string trimmers, pressure washers and leaf blowers
[External image (s6.postimg.org), not copied]
Display with all battery powered garden equipment. The empty spot on the right holds the cordless lawnmower but it’s sold out for the moment
[External image (s6.postimg.org), not copied]
Lawn mowers and… no idea what it is called in English. Those things that remove the moss from your garden and gives the grass ‘air’ ?
Yet again: If anyone wants a close up / little vid on one of these tools. Give me a shout !
Do I see some Makita pressure washers? And what is that thing that looks like a drill press next to the big circular saws?
I like how makita use the 2 18 volt batteries for the 36 volt stuff

Not really a collection but it was at HD I had a coupon for 20% and I needed a hammer drill and it was too good to pass up.

Real nice lineup Korno,,, would you know if Makita has a cordless palm sander in the works?
I’ll try to remember to take a family photo for you. Heading up north with my new Can Am to Jericho in the AM for an all day trip so maybe Sunday. I’ll try to remember!

Lovely collection Ricky ! Nice stuff =)
@ Toronto ! Nice combo there ! Here in belgium they put the cheaper dtd129 in the combos unfortunatly. Nog nearly as gold as the impact you have !
This is my first post on the forum, thought I’d join in and share my collection. I moved from Scotland to Melbourne, Australia 6 months ago, bought a 6 piece kit when I first arrived and have been adding skins and batteries since then. Looking to add the dvc350 vacuum and the cordless sander soon then see what else makita have to offer. Possibly looking to buy the Dewalt 18v 16 gauge nailer and 18v mitre saw unless makita bring out an 18v 16 gauge nailer and a 36v (18vx2) mitre saw because I’ve heard from a couple of people the 18v makita saw isn’t all that great (tears through material) although this may not be true!

welcome to the crew Marsh!! and I know a couple of Makita junkies that will like these pics ALOT!! Nice collection u have there!!
Thanks for the feedback everyone! The planer goes great, saves the hassle of carrying around a lead when you have to remove a fair load of material. I work for a modular home company here and we get moved around the factory from module to module quite frequently so having the majority of my tools cordless makes a huge difference! The amount of other workers I see having to unplug tools and plug in new ones, then someone’s unplugged their extension lead and they have to chase up where’s it’s gone to, or even on-site when sometimes there’s no power at the start of the job it’s very handy. Even avoiding the hassle of having your tools constantly tested and tagged. A decent cordless mitre saw would be great!

Nice setup man ! =) Love it !
You really got the best of the best =D
Hmm apart from a what limited depth of cut and the price I do not think the cordless mitre saw has any negatives. There are a few reviews to be found online and they are all positive on the saw.
Have only sold it twice myself but no complaints yet 🙂
Do you have the option in Australia to request a Demo machine from Makita? Trough a dealer? If that’s possible over there, that would be your best bet for trying it out 🙂
Thanks kornomaniac! The sander and the vac will hopefully be next then see what they’re offering after that. I considered the brushless SDS but I have no use for it at work just now and one of the other fella’s has it, so use his when required!
One of the other British fella’s at work has the 18v mitre saw and speaks very highly of it for finishing work/door jambs/light framing etc but he would, he paid $750 for his! Some of the other boys have said (not while the British fella was around haha) that they found it tore through material rather than cut through it, as if the RPM’s weren’t high enough, I haven’t had a chance to try it myself though! Plus it’s been on the market for ages, I’d imagine they must be working on a brushless or 2 x 18v model at this moment in time? I currently have the DW717-XE and it’s a beast but I’d love to be a cordless carpenter (as much as possible), I reckon Makita have the lineup which would allow me to come close to being that!
The closest possible Yeah 🙂 and the cordlless mitre has indeed a lower rpm of 2200 . if you wanna cut as fast as a corded one that will nog work 🙂 gonna take it a lim slower with the cordless one 😀
I think a 10inch brushless 18+18 would be technically possible but it will be so high priced it might not be marketing ready yet.
Wel have to wait and see 😀

Very very beautifull. I compared the picture to all my saws on display and it seems to be the body of the Makita ls1018 !

Ooh damn!! That’s sick!
Heard a rumor about a X2 36v BL worm drive circular saw too!
Now if they would just hurry up and release a new BL reciprocating saw!

Yes we need more BL recips on the market now!!

Seriously.. it’s been a while that Milwaukee has had theirs out and makitas cordless recips have always been a little crap imo..
it’s usually the first and sometimes only tool that I have to plug in during a job. Very frustrating to plug in just for that one tool
Does anyone have any info on the makita? I heard some people got to see it at world of concrete a few months ago
I have 3 maybe 15-20 year old Makita corded recip saws and they suck. The trigger locks on all the time after you finish your cut and you have to fight with it to get it to turn off. You have to tighten the blade with a allen key every 2 mins of work because it shakes loose. I took one out of the shed the other day to cut some copper and it stops every five seconds and makes a sound like the gears are stripped this thing has only been used a few times. I keep one in the truck and the gears are fine but has the same problem with the blade and trigger. I actually use a hacksaw (hand powered) for emt pipe if I only have a few cuts to make or I get my old 18v xrp Dewalt for more work.
