Brand new old stock Makita 8410BV teardown and testing. 

Loved this segment. I have a similar top-end DeWalt commercial drill I purchased in 1992. She’s done a great deal of work, but I take great care of my tools and she’s a beauty. Wouldn’t sell her for the world - maybe a grandchild down the road will cherish her.

beautiful tool, beautiful box, beautiful... hat I'm crossing my fingers that tools will be like this again one day

Thanks for taking the time to share this beauty with us Dean. Because of your videos I’ve finally started buying Makita tools instead of cheapo Lidl stuff. It’s true you get what you pay for!

Classic Makita drill shape, so recognisable. Everyone’s grandfather or father had one of these.

We used to Hire these beauties out, never had one burned out.

Nothing like Japaneese original engineering. Thank you for showing us

my high school wood/ metal shop was still using these drills along with all the rest of the equipment from the 60s to 80s when I graduated around 2 years ago

Modern drills are so compact and powerful it amazing

Although cordless drills have changed things power wise, i noticed back in the day how well balanced these corded Makitas were when you needed a drill with some power. I never found another corded drill with a decent sized grip. My whole hand fit and i could use my pointer to pull the trigger. It wasn't front heavy either.

Dean, I bought a similar hammer drill a few years ago from eBay cost me £25 delivered. it was the Makita 8419b-2. I have it out in the garage I still use it all the time. They don't make them like that anymore unfortunately.

My dad gave me a 3/8 makita hammer drill for my 16th birthday in '96. Awesome tool, that I lost, when my shop burned to the ground in '18.

I had one similar, handed down from my grandfather...used it as a mixer. I had the 3 speed Makita Hammer in the big metal case in 1990 when i started out building... burned that chuck up mean.

So no we don't have to be curious about that anymore, thank you Dean!

When you order Makita or Hikoki directly from Japan, the dealers there will put little gifts in the box, like a scribe, or magnetic keychain, metal ruler, etc. It's a nice touch

As a bloke approaching 70. My Father had a Wolf electric drill .I don't know how long he had it. But it was the only electric drill he used at home. He used to service it himself.

First time i saw DEAN puts PARTS with ordered not mess😊😊 8 still struggle how find parts again 😅😅

I have a red Makita drill I bought about 35 years or so. Still going, also came with a metal case. Good product.

That is a beautiful old machine. I have an old Black and Decker drill that looks very similar from the early 1980's

My grandpa has one of these and is stil using it to dril in concrte my self busted my wrist whit it love this old tools

Very nice, thanks for sharing

I have tinnitus from them bastards, the scream out of them when in hammer mode is lethal 😂

That’s a thing of beauty

love it old tools rule

Great video 👍🏻

Thats fantastic

Never had the Makita version. But same sort of era Hitachi made a very similar drill. I had that. It lasted for years. When it gave up. I bought the then new equivalent. Didn't last at all. None of my original drills had reverse. It was common not to right up until early 80's. Then you got it on some models as an option for a bit extra. Before it became the norm on everything. Once the cordless tools appeared they all had reverse right from the go. Once the Japanese tools stopped being made in Japan for export. And the German tools stopped being made in Germany for export. The quality dropped dramatically. I had a load of the old black AEG tools. They were really good trade level tools. Now the new AEG are bottom end trade. High end DIY. I have a couple. The quality is definitely not there. My gripe with modern tools is the electronics. They are very fragile. None of the circuit boards like heat. Living in Qld Australia we have plenty of heat. Whatever the breed they get hot and die. So do the batteries. When the temperature is up in the 40's. Who knows how hot the tools get inside. But they don't like it. Have even had them catch fire. And battery melt down. Yet I still have and use an early 80's 9.25 inch Hitachi saw. Only ever had brushes.

I’m makita tool fan, maintenance and repair by My own.Makita is a very quality tool compared to other brand😊

Whatta mean Doc? All the best stuff is made in Japan :D

The weakness of the plastic body is that after sometimes it is getting brittle , but Makita still using a good plastic material .

I have a 110v non hammer drill similar to this I’d guess from early 1980s was my dads and he got it second hand. It’s slow but will drill anything.

Makita makes the tool lasting,comfort and quality 🎉

Старая Макита восхитительна!

Not your usual throw all the parts everywhere video you showed the tool respect for lasting so long shows you love your tools , I still have the cordless version of same era 9v but batteries are the nicad and sadly no longer work and too expensive

I have a couple of the orange Black and Deckers from my dad, all stamped made in England. But this looks a lot better tool, mine didn't have speed control, the switch is just on off.

Still have a Makita S510LVR drill powering along.

This is why old tools last because you can this get parts for them. Im pretty sure Ive used a drill just like it!

I am now 47 my dad bought 1 of these prob just when I was born it isn't a hamer 1 and it's just on or off trigger it has drille millions of hole it still has original rubber flex I wouldn't trust it now tho it's perished it's sitting on a shelf in our old workshop and deserves to be on a plinth in our display cabinet

Im running a 8 year old 12 volt bosch impact and driver as a hotel maintenace tech. I see you switched to a makita driver ? I bought 12 volt fuel impact and drill i do like them but im afraid i will be going makità after watching you

That hat is cool!

I think maybe the design of the hammer mechanism would prevent reverse. It might jam up i think?

Quality item

Makita where an amazing drill, the old man had one, it did a serious amout of work, he must have it for 40 years and its stll lying around. He must have 10 or 12 battery drills, maybe more, dewalt, bosch,etc all bandjaxed.

To me an equivalent finding a Corvette the same year as that Makiita than tearing it apart to see what makes it work evean before actually using it.

Single Phase 240?

Have u ever used a Milwaukee M18 FUEL Brushless for a period of time to see if u like it over the makita ur usin, so is the brushless makita better built then the M18 in ur opinion

Is it possible to still find these brand new?

How many it

My Family is more of an old Black and Decker family in terms of Old Drills

There was not that much quality difference back in those days, between various european manufacturers and Japanese ones. I have one very similar from Iskra, very similar quality and design.

If the owner don't push it ti the limits and maintain it regularly it last for your life time 😂😂

This design has a failure point the upper brush wire get loose and contact the armicher

some of the best tools i ever had belonged to someones dad

What a bonnie.

Course its going to start its a makita, u can still get parts 4 it too

Man do I miss actually getting REAL metal boxes w\ power tools, not these stupid canvas tools bags they give out now, or even the few tools that come in a cheap blow-molded plastic case!

On Ebay (USA) today, this is for sale: "1976# VINTAGE MAKITA MADE IN JAPAN DRILL 13 MM MODEL 6300# NEW OLD STOCK [LT]" US $299.00 from Torino, Italy

A proper drill. None of this bloody namby pamby American (red) crap.
