As some have mentioned, DeWalt has updated this light to have 1000/300 lumens in high/low settings. Though it keeps the same body, features, and model number.
Good point, I didn't know they updated it. Thanks bro. Though it's not good for DeWalt to update it without changing the model number also as that can cause confusion. RU-vid doesn't allow updating videos, only way to "update" is to make a new video and it just ain't worth it for a light, especially one this old. The best I can do is add a pinned comment noting the updated specs. Thanks again for bringing it to my attention. Hope the video helped out otherwise.
No, could be a regular ladder style or stool or anything similar. I just prefer using step ladders as they have larger steps and the top step is a large one to stand on.
This was an awesome review! Great details and examples of what the capabilities of this tool are. Glad I found this and thanks for taking the time to give an honest and detailed review!
Thanks. I know what a dado is and what a stop block is, though I've never heard of a stop block for dado's on a miter saw. I'm not even sure if you can install a dado stack on this or any miter saw. Those are for table saws if they have the threads long enough to support them. Maybe you can enlighten me on this???
It depends on your model. But I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure you line up your wall and under cabinet templates properly and all will be well
10 years later (damn the time flies) this was one of the best tool recommendations ever given to me. Still think of your channel quite a bit as a young apprentice at the tome I definitely looked up to you. Hope you’ve been keeping happy and healthy.
So you’re saying the 18volt Makita I just purchased has a similar size and performance of the 12volt? The big convenience here is its on the 18volt platform. I am experiencing immediate buyer’s remorse as I thought I was getting a step in power with lightweight tool. Bummer
The first two sentences in your comment summarizes my review. Reviews such as this one help others make informed buying decisions. Personally I think 12v tools are great, they are my go to tools as they have plenty of performance for common tasks. And if this 18v set meets your needs what's the problem? Many people like and prefer sub compact tools because of their compact size and lower weight. Of course there's always a trade off. If you ever need better performance there are plenty of options - though bigger. However as with many power tools lately, they are shrinking in size, even the high performance models are far more compact than they were years ago.
Thank you for your prompt response. Please offer your opinion for the best light weight power drill for my situation. I have a current project of making mushroom logs that calls for a stronger drill for the fresh, hardwood logs. I purchased the small Makita for a boost in power. It is the 18v. I need that set of attributes of lightweight with stronger power. Kind regards, Lynn @@ToolCraze
@@lynnmoss2127 I don't know what mushroom logs are or what types of applications a drill would be needed for in this situation however when you are shopping for a drill, take into account the amount of torque the drill has and compare. The more torque it has, the more powerful it is. Then choose a model with the performance that fits your needs. Hope this helps.
Thank you this helpful! I have a baseline now. The helpful Ace Hardware person told me a higher voltage is what I needed to gage for more power. That’s why I thought the 18v would be more powerful than the the 12v. Now I’m getting somewhere. Is torque rating listed somewhere on the paperwork for this small Makita? I don’t see it
Should be, usually on the box. I also mention the specs in my reviews. Easiest place to find it is in the beginning of each of my videos where I list the main specs for each tool.
My guess would be that something is holding the ball in the cage down preventing it from doing it's job when sucking liquids, or your model didn't come with a ball inside the cage? Hard to tell without looking at it.
Thank you so much for posting this. You obviously spent a lot of time coming up with a clever and simple design and then clearly explained it. I do have some questions though. The materials list shows 1/4 inch copper pipe. How does a 5/16 diameter bolt fit into a 4/16 diameter pipe? Also I'm having trouble locating pipe this size. Where did you purchase it? Can it be left out or will the rotating action cause the bolt to rub against the wood, enlarging the hole?
Hey there Sheldon, thanks for the positive words! I understand the sizing doesn't make sense. I've had others bring it up before. However I bought the hardware from Lowes and that's exactly how they had it marked. When I acquired the hardware, I sized the pipe fittings so that they were snug around the bolt but let it spin freely. You can probably get away with not using the pipe around the bolt but I think it would work better as a bushing around the bolt and spin smoother but that's just my guesstimate. I would say to get the bolt at the store and play around with the pipe sizes and get the one that closely matches your bolt. Hope that helps, and make sure to check out my website with written instructions and to get the free plans. There you'll also be able to see others who have created this same mobile tool base with these plans. The link is in the description.
Finally someone reviewed wet tile marking. I found the Milwaukee marker a couple years ago and was excited to try it on wet tile and I'd failed miserably. I went back to the Sharpie retractable.
I honestly don't remember as this video was made almost a decade ago. I do however have a review on the DeWalt vacuum so you might want to check that one out for the answer.
Does anyone know what could be causing a flutter noise on this compressor? I sometimes get it on startup and it goes away other times it continues to have flutter while running. Is this a leak somewhere?
My corded jig needs to go and since I’m into the Ryobi 18+ battery line from the nailers I think I found my replacement. Does the angle adjuster lock solid when you select an angle?
I love this machine. Had it for many years but the hose has developed a hole. Tried tape but does not work. It’s in perfect working order other than this issue. Would be a shame to get rid of it for such a ‘minor’ problem. Can anyone point me in the correct direction ie hose replacement videos etc.
Im more of a DeWalt guy. My go to impact is a 10.8v DeWalt impact and its absolutely fantastic for most jobs. If i need anything more ive got bigger 18v ones but personally if a small lightweight tool can do the job then why not go for it. Id like to get the newer brushless DeWalt since ive had mine since 2017 but theres no viable reason to replace the old brushed one just yet I was expecting Milwaukee to be the best when it came to the battery test given their track record always been impressed with Milwaukee and disappointed in Makita but this video has changed my opinion on Makita and bosch are a league of their own especially on their pro brushed models with the replaceable brushes which ive never seen on any other cordless tool
