Looks like makita is finally coming out with their own rocket light.

I would like to see them redesign their one handed sawzall.

Let’s just hope the information is true that they told me when I called customer service the other day. They told me a 9.0 ah battery is in the works they just didn’t have a release date they could share. But they said they are definitely coming out with a bigger battery soon. Again that was...

I’m wondering if makita is really going to leave us hanging on the 18v side and not release either bigger batteries or at least up grade the current ones to 21700 cells. Would make sense to make a new 3 and 6 with those cells. I just see with the new 40v coming out and the new hammer drill and...

Out of the big 3: Milwaukee, DeWalt and Makita, who makes the most quality cordless power tools? I looking at durability and longevity. We got into the discussion at work and we googled it to see and found so much info from so many different places. So i figured I would tap the knowledge and...

My opinion only. I can see them neglecting or phasing out the 18v platform. The reason I say this is on every forum, on their Facebook page, and I’m sure other places people having been asking for bigger 18v batteries or new cell 18v batteries and the customers requests have been ignored. Now a...

Anyone using the new makita 18v heated jacket? I can’t find much info on it.

Maybe? Which company has the better heated jacket? I see makita just released a new 18v one this year but there is no reviews on how it is. Tons of good reviews on the Milwaukee ones. This would be great for when I’m hunting predators in the middle of January here in PA.

They auto shut off if no use is detected after like 15 seconds or something like that

I have looked hard between both brands for the ope. Both get great reviews. Two things I don’t like about the makita: 1. The chainsaws shut off after a few seconds of none use. That seems like that would be a pain having to turn it back on all the time. 2. Either brand I plan on buying the...

This is something I have seen a lot when I have searched this topic. It seems like a lot of people say how makita is higher quality and will last longer than Milwaukee and that Milwaukee tools have to get warranted a lot. Is this actually true or more just busting chops. I can’t imagine if a...

So i hate to revive an old thread but.... So I never ended up buying any cordless tools last year when I started this thread. I waited till the deals around Christmas time to buy and ended up not being able to buy anything. This year I’m definitely pulling the trigger. With that said and the...

I am looking at investing in Tektons new ratchets to replace my old craftsman’s. I have been investing in Tekton tools for the last two years and they have been great. I really like comfort grip ratchets especially during the winter months but they don’t offer any in their new 90 tooth. Has...

Don’t get me wrong even the lower models of these us general boxes are still way better that the craftsman or any of the other ones at the big box stores.

So I tried to order the blue 64865 and 64866 from my store and they said they could only get the 63 and 64 models in the presale and there was no way to order the unit specific without ordering online. Anyone else run into this problem?
