Nice

Thanks guys 😎⚒️😎⚒️😎

2:40 that adapter is one of Makita's biggest mistakes in launching their 40V line. As you said, it would have been much better if the 40V charger had a 40V and 18V slot built in. There's plenty of space on the 40V charger for an 18V slot. I need to get my hands on the adapter to see if there's any expensive electronics or voltage switching stuff in it, or if it's just a dumb adapter. If it's got expensive electronics in it, then I guess I can understand the adapter from a cost saving point of view.

It looks as if Makita did this to annoy people to force them to buy into the complete 40v line, just joking probably just a bean counter. In all seriousness the 18/40v charger or lack there of is Makita’s Achilles heal right now.

4:20 that's the way to do it. Don't be a fanboi - just run the tool that works best for you. Maybe in 5-10 years we'll see the brand's forced to provide approved adapters and/or agree to a standard battery interface. Then we'll see real competition as we'll be able to run whatever tool we want and not feel locked in by the batteries and chargers.

I have to admit I was a fan boy at one time of another brand but then I realized eventually that these tools were just money makers. The battery idea is interesting, I don’t like the idea of forcing company’s to a certain type of battery attachment system however if there was a collaboration it definitely would benefit us. Appreciate the input

Come to Europe, as of 2028 all power tools need to be using 1 battery platform....this will force us to buy new ofcourse, but after that Festool, Makita, Milwaukee, DeWalt all use the same battery #joy

@BasBommel that was an April Fool's day joke

All your battery woes can be solved with the new Ceenr battery system. Take a gander my guy.

i am surprised to hear you say that the Makita track saw does not cut square and to be honest I have always had the tendency to fight with that tool even if it was the 40v xgt, but man, I love it when you are very critical towards the brand. Makita is expensive, but I don't know how reliable they are.

I don’t fully understand why people aren’t honest about tool failures. Maybe they dismiss failures to justify their purchases. These are just tools for us and by that I mean they ether work or they don’t. Appreciate you commenting, at least there’s one honest person out there 😀.

We have 4 trailers but only put large tools in them now like air scrubbers brakes and such. We got tired of pulling trailers around every day.

No brand is perfect but you hate to be the test subject.

Makita tools were a lot better when they were made in Japan , most of their tools are made abroad in 8 different countries and the U.S. seams to get mostly the Chinese made tools .... 🤦‍♂️ Im thinking that Could be one of the reasons why their Longevity has fallen off ...🤷‍♂️😂🤣

I’m not sure on the longevity as to the cause but I believe what your saying is definitely hurting them. I get a little sad when I get a new Makita and quickly look it over to see where it’s made (not Japan). 😕.
