Makita makes a great tools, I own 11 from cordless LXT range. Never bring me down, all of them working perfect. I am very happy with Makita.

One of my favourite quotes... "I'm too poor to afford cheap tools"

[artjiblaframes.]

Now...I have decided to buy MAKITA tools, you have succeeded in making me made my decisions about cordless tools. With love from Nigeria.💯🆗✔

I myself am in love with my Makita power tools. I'm not a professional sports fan. But I would represent Makita as if it were and is my favorite team I grew up supporting! Go Makita!!!

I’m a Makita fanboy through and through. I’ve always had Makita tools. I’ve had Milwaukee corded and cordless but the Makita cordless can’t be beat for quality, dependability and price. All of my cordless Makita are brushless from my impact driver, which I’ve had for five years and has been dropped from a 3 story roof onto a concrete patio, till my lawnmower, yes lawnmower, hedge trimmer, orbital sander, drill, reciprocating saw, weed wacker, brad nailer and my latest and best purchase of all, the 36 volt worm drive saw. I should state that I only use 5 AH batteries as the life is very long and they charge in the same amount of time as the 3 and 4 ah. I highly suggest and recommend the brushless cordless. You won’t be disappointed.

Bosch Blue guy here. Bosch Blue / Makita / Hitachi / Milwaukee are all around about the same, much like the old choice of Nikon / Canon / Sony its much of a muchness and they're all good tools. Good to see a quick review of one of the other makes.

Couldn't live without Compact driver, soooo good....! Just bought a Milwaukee C.D. and it is very powerful indeed...!

I have to agree about the multi-tool. It's almost like a miniature jackhammer for detailed cutting and shaping. Cuts not only wood but also metal. Great for flush cutting nails and essential for tile and door work. You also use it in most places you would use a chisel.

Once you buy the "first one" it becomes an I have:
3 7' skill saw
2 grinders (4.5 in)
1 vacuum
1 sawsall
1 blower
8 batteries (3.0, 5.0 and 6.0)
And buying a few more in a near future

I grew up with my mother having Makita tools including some of the more affordable versions, and they are still running 10 or so years later.

Wife bought me a Makita drill a couple of years ago, now have several things, even the hedge trimmer! This has been a good reminder to pick up another small battery, so much nicer to use on the drill and impact driver.

[jefftucker]

I own a lot of these tools, I have been upgrading to the brushless models lately, I try and stay away from any of the cordless tools that have long run times such as the sander and stick to the corded version, nice collection, keep up the good work

[rkfarmranch]

Finally, an excellent review of all the Makita cordless tools. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Your videos are really great because you explain things so well and show the practical uses of each tool. Thank you.

You don’t beat Makita. They are truly the best.

[mikeratkowski]

I run the maintenance department at a high end resort in Wisconsin I only use Mikita corded and cordless, also a side hobby is timber framing Mikita has fantastic tools for that too.

I started collecting ryobi until I got sick of replacing the tools and batteries. Makita was my next step, very happy. Even got me a Makita heated jacket which uses the 18v batteries and also charges my cell phone in my pocket.

Spent the last several hours researching power tools. Went in believing Milwaukee was the brand I would purchase but after your video and several others I'll be buying Makita. Not only do they NOT have a parent company which is good (look into it) they are reasonably priced and appear to be at the same quality of Milwaukee, which is a lot more expensive at least in the states.

Excellent video. Really appreciate the simple way you explained each tool, gave your experience with it, while also showing it in action

[cdtelting]

My next tools will probably be both the angle grinder and the die grinder. Then a couple led flood lights and maybe a concrete rotary drill.

I also have a few of the garden tools. What I like about the garden tools is both no cord and with no gas I don't have to worry about carburetor seals being destroyed by separated alcohol in gas. For all the tools I only have to replace batteries over 20 years if I take care of them. A sound investment in a home.

I've been using makita for years and never let me down there's not much of the range I haven't got plus a mass supply of power with 35 batteries. They are used all day 5 days a week and just keep going plus they earn me alot of money so money well spent. 😁👍

I have a fair share of Makita tools as a professional carpenter. - I also love using cordless most of the year, but I will say in the winter battery tools can't deal with the temperature working outside- if it's below zero Fahrenheit (-20ish centigrade) or colder you general are stuck with corded tools.... That means you end up owning the basics at least in corded ( skilsaw, sawsall, grinder, drill, chop saw) -
Nice review ( friendly howdy from Wisconsin U.S.A.)
