Thank,a I've just ordered the SDS Plus version of the same via the US - looking forward to putting it into action!

Cheers Roger very informative thank you

@johndn9238 Год назад

Very good video and lots of good down to earth practical comments and advice. Many thanks

Makita makes great tools! My power tool set is a Milwaukee fuel set which I love but if it wasn’t rocking Milwaukee, Makita is a very close second. Great ergonomics and I feel like the quality is on par with Milwaukee.

@JDAfrica 2 года назад

I’ve got the big one of these, absolutely amazing, and heavy (4kgs), now I see they make a much smaller dual trigger version that is 1.6kgs with battery … so I will buy that too. These tools are absolutely fantastic!!! Can use them in the garden on trees with a green/wet tree saw blade. Or even fine tooth for copper and metal. Add a carbide tipped Diablo blade to go through 1/4 inch steel nails and virtually anything else

@BillsCountrysideAdventures 6 лет назад

Looks good and great review, I personally love that tool, but I got a mains power titan for £30 and prob does same job and when it buggers up they give you a new one.

@_P0tat07_ 6 лет назад

I can’t wait till you get ahold of the new cordless super sawzall with the 12ah battery 😉 I think you’re going to have a good time

@a-carpenter9229 6 лет назад

I've cut tile and plaster with a reciprocating saw before but you need to use either a carbide grit or diamond grit blade and they'll last a long time cutting those materials

@francois1473 6 лет назад

I have the Dewalt compact battery recipsaw. Just like this one I suppose. The absolute best thing about these things is: no more cord hassle and the small size gets (almost) everywhere. Does this have a 4 position blade as well?

@taylorjones1540 6 лет назад

Roger, could you review some budget power tools eg titan,bauker,work zone. See how they perform. Not as good as the big brands obviously but could be interesting to have a look

@saulgoodman2018 6 лет назад

In the US, it's included in the cost of the rental agreement. But my point is, that the contractors do not have to separate it themselves.

@esquireeventrade4838 6 лет назад

Roger is the best!

@whitacrebespoke 6 лет назад

I’ve recently brought the full size 18volt Makita recip and have to say I’ve never had one before but for rip out it’s the top tool. Surprised how much I actually do use it. Might try those demo blades

@800Viffer 5 лет назад

@Adam I have one of those and use demolition blades. A few days ago I was sawing through a wall partition. Someone had secured the studwork to an adjacent wall with a shelf bracket (???). I couldn't see it at the time but I was sawing down through the plaster, screws and the body of the bracket (not just the arms) with ease.

@Neema1135514 6 лет назад

Hi Roger I think it will be fun and intersting if you film your renovation projects as it's a very popular among DIYers to watch ronevation projects and I think that it will bump up your subscription and viewership. Thanks.

@vinceking7878 6 лет назад

So not as agile as the dewalt, but more powerful than most hackzalls(especially 12v)?

@wmurphy1979 6 лет назад

3 charges don't know how much you make on jobs bud but that wall would have down before that . and I think the Milwaukee 12 v is the best for tight spaces.

@Balenza345 3 года назад

The backing plate is adjustable so pull it out a little and new teeth are in the cut.

@BaconSniffer578 6 лет назад

I don’t know about Makita anymore. I fancy the Dewalt 60v stuff now, would probably buy into that line.

@bumnutz09 6 лет назад

i have the Flexvolt circular saw and the flexvolt track saw. My god they are just like using mains powered tools. after using makita cordless tools for 10 years, they are just in another league in terms of power. I always find makita is super ergonomic but i would pick power over ergonomics any day.

@The1stDukeDroklar 5 лет назад

I'm in construction and Dewalt breaks down in little ways compared to Makita. The quick release on the recip saw is malfunctioning to one degree or another on both my coworkers dewalts. The foldable LED light doesn't want to hold its position. The Dewalt chargers are flimsy and slower and do not offer the cooling and protections of the Makita line. I would say the Milwaukee Hackzall is the superior tool by a decent amount however this sub compact seems to be a worthy contender for those of us committed to the Makita line. I will be adding one to my Makita arsenal soon.

@YayFlyingCat 6 лет назад

any difference between this and the black Makita subcompact saw

@colinblythe3710 6 лет назад

Hi NO there both the same tool the black version was introduced in the USA about 1 year ago - called the "sub compact" range - (loads of videos on here under that name) - they had a different model number as all Makita do for the USA market - they have just started hitting the UK in the black version- I have the DHP483 drill its tiny but has some power for the size

@Hanan-hg5mo 5 лет назад

hey sir , whats the difference between model XRJ07ZB ?

@patentleatherkicks 4 года назад

They appear to be the same saw. Makita uses different part numbers in different regions for some reason.

@krisraps 5 лет назад

when you habve a problems with battery charging and if you can just buy 4 batteries and charge them in one go and then just snap then, replace them and do not wait for it to charge that is what you do when you hhave only one..

@emelle1283 5 лет назад

the batteries for this are $200 each!

@jasperedwards2713 Год назад

how about logs

@jasperedwards2713 Год назад

you sound like ron and the rude boys voice

@corsakias 5 лет назад

No! I just bought one and does not work well. Starting to cut and very second later stops such as overloaded. Fully battery and this happens every time to start cutting, wood i dont even try to cut metal.

@josephanderson3551 5 лет назад

You pushing too hard? My grinder will stop if I push to hard..

@corsakias 5 лет назад

Joseph Anderson . No, it was faulty. Sent it back to amazon and the second one is ready to kill!

@saulgoodman2018 6 лет назад

But can it cut the ketchup?

@julianreverse 6 лет назад

Ok, now there are tiles mixed with wood and other stuff together in the dumpster?

@julianreverse 6 лет назад

You sound exactly like the stereotypical american idiot ... congratulation!

@saulgoodman2018 6 лет назад

What do you want, people to get multiple dumpsters for different materials?

@julianreverse 6 лет назад

Exactly! As we do it in Germany. It's called sorting and recycling en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling

@julianreverse 6 лет назад

We sort plaster, wood, tiles, concrete, bricks, insulation material, metal, etc.

@saulgoodman2018 6 лет назад

People will not pay hundreds of dollars for multiple dumpsters. When they can throw it all in one. It's not like you can put construction materials out on trash pickup day. At least in the states you cans.

@kevindorka6328 6 лет назад

are all machines in the makita LXT range brushless?

@click381 6 лет назад

Kevin, All new machine are brushless now. Better life and performance

@kevindorka6328 6 лет назад

thanks for the fast reply, my dad bought an impact driver with the LXT logo on the side but no BL for brushless, was wondering if it was brushless or not

@click381 6 лет назад

Kevin Dorka , no older version. New version are BL

@click381 6 лет назад

Kevin Dorka don’t worry about that it will work just fine had one for years

@kevindorka6328 6 лет назад

yea it works like a champ, we renovated the entire roof and it did it in 2x 1.5AH batteries leaving the second at half charge. VERY impressed and our hands dont hurt at all. we were wrestling oldschool bosch drills half the time before we got this monster. 170NM really works!

@vinceking7878 6 лет назад

Looks very multipurpose. My ryobi stuff has better battery life probably. But I an only 16 and have never ripped out a bathroom. Also this is obviously much tougher and smoother than ryobi. Ps: if you use the right blade and slow down the speed could it use less battery?

@mikezeke7041 6 лет назад

Yeah... sorry to say, but the hackzall has set the bar, fuel hackzall raised that bar. No other compact fits up in joist bays and other tight spaces with as much power as fuel hackzall. Add to that it will run on a 2.0 all the way up to a 12.0.

@nubscrub 6 лет назад

Does the fuel hackzall have more power than this makita or the fuel sawzall?

@mikezeke7041 6 лет назад

nubscrub I haven’t used this makita, but the fuel hackzall has as much power as most brushed sawzalls from other brands, not as much as fuel sawzall, part is the stroke is shorter. As a plumber the in-line design lets me get up into tight spots. It tears through 2” galvanized steel. Idealistically and durability wise I prefer Makita, but Milwaukee is catering to my trade. Have used hackzall with a diamond blade to cut 4” and 5” cast iron soil pipe.

@loktom4068 6 лет назад

Mike Zeke Have you tried the metal cutting carbide saw blade called Speed Demon from Milwaukee ? Quite awesome cutting power.

@mikezeke7041 6 лет назад

Lok Tom I’ve used the new torch ones. Badly disappointed. They do not cut cast iron at any reasonable speed, and even steel pipe is slower because the kerf I’d large. Cuts rebar ok, but they do not seem to last. $15 wasted. I’ll stick with diablo blades. The variable tooth blades cut steel, plastic, and wood well, plus they are cheap.

@krisraps 5 лет назад

They send him this produt so every english man who thinks he is a diy guy will run yto the store and by this 500 pound tool, damn, .. I Love it, but do i need it? prbably, do i hav ethe money for it? no.. someone cares/ no

@beatonthedonis 3 года назад

It's not a £500 tool if you already have the Makita batteries and charger. It's more like £120 excluding VAT.

@henrikfable 6 лет назад

Got the same Saw and burned the motor in less then 1h runtime, we where cutting gutters and the gutter hocks

@EarlLeeBird 3 года назад

Its has a brushless motor and motor + battery protection system that should protect it from overheating. Either it was a defective unit or you soaked it in water...

@joeframer9642 6 лет назад

The Milwaukee blows that away, even the dewalt XR compact is better.....that is overpriced and underwhelming

@greenskiis 6 лет назад

lol Dewalt's recips are so much worse than both Milwaukee and Makita's. They always come in after them in recip shootouts.

@WheatMillington 6 лет назад

So you loving this tool has nothing to do with Makita lending it to you, I suppose? This is horse shit, you can't review tools when you owe something to the manufacturer.
