The track saw is my favourite xgt product, it has basically replaced my mafell. I would like to see a 1/2 inch router, framing nailer and angled finish nailer. Great vid by the way 😂
I believe the best tool 40v is lawnmower. Initially I bought 36v(2x18v) and that was the worst Makita experience. I returned that and they offered to but a new 2x40v mower. That was pretty expensive but worth that.
You sir will absolutely love the track saw. I am a professional trim carpenter in the states. My second XGT purchase was the track saw. Actually I am also around 18 months in the platform. No regrets. By the way my first XGT purchase was the same miter saw. Start with the big stuff. Lol. I did . I already had everything I needed in smaller tools, so I introduced myself to the new line with more specific tools. Of course now I am in as much if not more as you are. Seems as if a lot of people are still hesitant. I don't understand that. They make a lot of sense for me moving forward
I’m on the XGT platform . Electrician by trade . Have found every tool to be much smoother and less effort than the 18v . And I’m certainly not going through the batteries as much . I would be keen for you to do a review of the new high output 4AH battery if that’s possible ? As for the use of the big garden blower I get about 20mins runtime with a 5ah battery . Also had issue with the rotary hammer trigger …. No chuck issues yet . Ray
I run gardening lawn mowing business. I started with lxt chain saws hedge trimmers ect. But started getting a few xgt ope tools and think it’s better than lxt. But having both battery systems isn’t a bad thing as some things better on lxt being lighter but won’t have the power of xgt. I think makita are pretty serious with xgt as there’s a new 4ah battery coming out high output. Have more power than the 5ah battery yet it be lighter than the current 4ah battery. And rumours of a 12ah coming out
17:50 I was surprised as well that this small indicator wasn't fixed, on lxt batteries the buttons were so softy and easy to break. But the tools are great anyways not such a big problem of course
I purchased the 40v impact from Japan and the rubber is starting to fall apart. Personally I don’t mind because it’s meant to wear out but I wasn’t expecting it to happen a year or so after.
Hey mate, thanks for all your content. I’m a 35yr old with no experience trying to get into carpentry apprenticeship. Just wondering if you’d consider jumping on the the apprenticeship training groups or just keep trying my luck directly with builders. & also - how have you found the physicality of the apprenticeship? thanks mate
Hearing you mate. It's crazy how long it is taking them to come out with items. But knowing Makita they will R n D the shit out of it to try and limit issues when released.
