They are coming out with a full range of these (up to 10k lumen) in 2020. There’s a video linked earlier in the thread that shows them off at a trade show.

Do you need a hammer drill?

I have a pair of their super-cheap style (Raid I think?). They are garbage, but are worth the $20. I've used them for about 2 years to cut the grass, do demo on a house, and wear in the shop. I probably only average an hour or two a week over the time I've owned them. A friend of mine uses the...

I looked it up on Makita's site, once I found their comparison feature. Both are pretty big upgrades, but here's the "tale of the tape": XDT14Z (delta to XDT13Z) torque: 1,550 in/lbs (+50) weight: 2.9 lbs (-0.4 lbs) length: 4.625" (-.375") max RPM: 3600 (+200) max IPM: 3800 (+200) modes: 3 (+3)...

Can anyone help me figure out the differences between Makita's impact drivers and drills? I've currently got the XDT13Z (from a kit), and I saw a deal on the XDT14R. It looks like the XDT14R has selectable modes. I've currently got the XPH12Z (also kit), and the same deal has a XPH07Z. My...

The current rumor I’ve heard about the Makita Impact Gold is that they are currently in their last production run. Makita has designed a new series/branding around a better and stronger material. Impact Gold will be phased out when they’ve sold out sometime in 2020. The ImpactX series will be...

I recently bought the HD 114 bit collection just for the 4 cases. I replaced the bits with my Makita Impact Gold bits, and gave away the Milwaukee ones. My experience with them has been sub-par. The cases are solid, but not quite perfect. Really compact, the inserts are adjustable and...

I haven’t used one, or really anything from the Makita 12V CXT line. Their 18V LXT subcompact line is so good and small I’ve never needed to go down to 12V.

I picked up the Makita XLC02RB1W vacuum kit for $80 on Amazon this weekend. It's not the upgraded brushless version, but at that price it is hard to argue. I'm excited about the 2.0Ah battery and charger, especially. We need a vacuum for inside the house, and I prefer the 2.0Ah batteries in my...

I think it is on sale at CPO for $78. I'm interested in how good it is, too

Before I bought into a battery system, I used my brother's Makita X2 OPE when ripping out a ton of overgrowth. I especially liked the chainsaw, but it sold me on the system, knowing I could share batteries across outdoor and power tools. I've also bought into Kobalt's 80V line with a mower I...

My Porter Cable pce605k is useless now. I'd only used it for maybe an hour of runtime, but now it gets so hot to the touch I can't hold it. I've got it partially torn down, but to be honest I'll probably never fix it. I switched to a Makita cordless one that I much prefer.

Need more pics, but if the head unit works it is salvageable. Might require picking up a second unit off craigslist, but there is no shortage of Shopsmith parts.
