This video makes me uncomfortable. It’s like Dan doesn’t know what to do with his hands. Play with watch, clap hands together, grab wrist, etc. It’s freaking me out.
Love seeing some TiA love from companies, especially Makita.

you can fix it….
M80: exactly. The sales guys Dan talks to sometime just don’t seem excited and it’s like he has to bring all of it himself to make up for their lack. The sales guys just don’t involve him in the conversation it’s like they’re just giving a pitch every time he asked them a question. And when Dan gives them the time to talk, he’s gotta refrain from jumping in and interrupting. I’ve been in his position before at shows (minus the camera) and it’s very boring how some sales guys go about explaining things. Call it a pet peeve, but I also hated it when thr guy always referred to it as a “product” it’s always the”product” well just call it what it is otherwise just made them seem very detached from their work.
But I digress, hope some of that made sense
I’ve seen a lot of makita promo stuff featuring that guy we don’t talk about at the website that shall not be named, they had a thing about a cordless mite saw on Facebook boasting how he’s reviewing it.

His voice leaves something to be desired. In -depth review but way too in -depth for me ha.

Yes i know, my intention was to show torontortoolman an example of said individual, not knowing the backstory myself, only from what I read in that link I provided in my previous post. So conclusion: I should’ve just passed along that link and ’nuff said

I spoke to him at a show and recall he is a development or engineer type. Hence the dryness you noted. He isn’t a salesman, as you mentioned.
That makes sense, good to know

Ah, that says a lot then. Good to know. Can’t always judge that book.
