Let's take a look at the new Makita 40v Circular Saw. This is the HS003G and we put it up against the Makita 36v (18v x2) DHS781 (XSH06). They are both 7 1/4" Circular Saws (185mm). Is the new 40v better? Is there any difference at all? 40v Max is only 36v after all, so are they the same? Let's take a look...

So a 40v 4ah battery is the same as two 18v 4ah batteries. These do use a different size cell: 21700 vs 18650. But the voltages are the same.

@@reaperreaper5098 I'm not sure about Makita's lines specifically, but others are using 2170s in their 18v/20v battery packs. It actually makes more sense to use 2170s in smaller packs as they are larger cells with larger capacity. For a 4-5ah 18v/20v pack, you need a minimum of 10-18650s while you only need 5-2170s. For 36v/40v packs, you need a minimum of 10 cells regardless if you use 18650s or 2170s. Currently, only Dewalt builds 60v packs that I know of (54v). They use 18650s as they need 15 cells for that capacity. 2170s would cause that to be a much larger pack size.

@@anthonypelchat I know Milwaukee's High Output 3, 6, 8, and 12Ah batteries are 21700s, and Dewalt has some 21700s but I don't know which ones are which off top of my head. But Makita put themselves in a corner on the LXT platform. Their 36V tools that double up on 18V batteries can't physically fit 21700 cells. Weirdly, reviewers have been saying that the Makita 40V 4Ah (the only 21700 battery in the XGT line) doesn't bring any additional performance over the other 18650 based batteries.

How’s the weather over seas there man? I’m here in the US, so we don’t get these new offerings from Makita here until 2021 I think. Pretty cool we get a preview thanks to you! So, my guess is that the “40 Volt”, which is really 36 volt, will get you better run time and slightly more power due to the difference in battery cells. The 18650’s are inferior lithium ion cells compared to the 21700 cells I’ve found based on using Milwaukee and Dewalt tools. The 21700 cells run cooler that’s for sure. And they fail less than the 18650’s. Thanks for the reviews on the new Makita’s!

The blade on the 18 v saw was a completely different type and tooth count. shame on you for not changing it.🤗 I really liked your review and do appreciate your effort. Right now in the USA Makita is blowing out the 36v kits for dirt cheap. 2 18v 5ah batteries, a 2 slot charger, and 36v saw for $250. You even get an extra free bare 18v tool as a deal sweetener. That 40v saw is truly awesome but getting the 36v at current prices (Black Friday) is a no brainer. I’ve been using my old trusty 110v Makita saw for over 35 years now. Makita 24t thin kerf blades have always been my blade of choice. They cut like a hot knife through butter. That 110v saw was perhaps the best power tool I’ve ever purchased. Thank you very much for your fine review! I’m getting the 36v saw and a nice free 4-1/2 in angle grinder! Woo woo!

So, basically, it depends on the battery platform you're aiming to keep then. Upgrading from an 18v to 36v would make sense if you were in the market for a beefier saw, but getting a 40v when you already have a 36v means you're ready to invest in other stuff too. Thanks for the review. I won't be feeling bad for skipping the 40v now. Much appreciated.

Grinder, sawzall, jigsaw etc. I got the tire inflator. What a screaming deal. What a fine tool. It cuts with absolutely no effort or bogging down. I love the magnetic blade stop! Your review was the one that made up my mind. Thanks so much! I also agree that the newest generation Makita blade is incredible. The 40v tool looks to be better but I don’t believe it’s worth 2 times the price. If I was framing every day I might get the 40v but for my current needs I am completely happy. Thanks Cheers Btw: One strange thing. My 1 year old 18v 4.0 amp batteries are 13 grams heavier than the 5.0 amp batteries that came with the saw. 🤔 their physical size is exactly the same. cheers

So what was better from what i could see the 40v sounds like higher rpm but the 36v looked like it actually ripped faster.. Is there any difference as far as i know the 18v / 20v thing is just marketing / different calculation so the tools are likely almost identical. I think an 18v lxt battery should be showing 20v thereabouts when running well. So doubling is 40v. I think its just trying to keep up with dewalt etc. Curious to know ive got both lxt 18v and 36v (18x2). Curious if its any different. Ive actually burnt out a couple of 18v batteries over working them and bricking them maybe the 40v less likely to have that happen.

It's just marketing, XGT is a 10 S system with 36 V nominal voltage. The only advantage is they have 21700 cells, which offers more drainage, but one 4 Ah XGT offers less Ah than 2 18 V batteries with 18650s with 5 Ah each.

Great test and comparison! I could be wrong, BUT! I'd be willing to bet a little money that the motor, and most, if not all, of the guts are identical. That the 40V battery is a 36vMax battery. That the increased discharge capacity of the 21700 cells is the difference in rpm and performance. OR, it really is a 40v battery and the increased voltage is the difference. Either way, both are crap to me. Damn blade right saws........ Blade left is where it's at, my man. Haha! I have the 36v Rear handle Makita and love it. I already have 20 5ah batteries, so it will be a while before I'm ready for any 40v upgrade unless I win another contest and get them for free, which is how I got into the Makita 18v in the first place. I have a metric shit ton of Milwaukee tools and had no intention of entering another platform. But I'm glad I won that contest. Both great tool makers IMO. Cheers!

The XGT is a 10 S system, so it's not a ,,real'' 40 v system, it has only 36 V nominal voltage. I also use the LXT with single battery and 18 V x 2 machines, in my opinion 18 V batteries are better, because they are more flexible, you can make a 18 V 15 cell pack with 21700 s with 12 Ah, but you can't use 15 cells in a 10 S system (only 10 or 20). For some machinery like a 230 mm angle grinder 144 Wh are not enough, you have 180 (18 V x 2 with 5 Ah) or 200 Wh (18 V x 2 with 6 Ah), but only 144 with one XGT battery.

They need to upgrade their chainsaw to 80v next. Chainsaws require a ton of energy to run. An 80v chainsaw would be awesome. They could easily produce a 40V/10ah battery with today's 21700 technology. That would make a x2 chainsaw run at 80v/10 ah. It will eventually come but we may have to wait 3+ years.

I'm guessing the 18v batteries are older and been through a number of charge-discharge cycles. That may play a part in the battery capacity remaining (and also the packs won't behave in quite the same way under load, which could be why one looses more charge than the other). It would be interesting to see what the voltage sag under load is of the cells in the 36v batteries.

@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL 4 жыл бұрын

I test a lot of tools. These batteries are used just for that purpose. They live in a draw away from other batteries, and when I get new batteries (which is on a pretty regular basis) I swap them out. So the ones I use to test tools have usually had very few charge cycles. The 36v uneven drain is not due to one battery being old as the tools tend to drain the same port each time no matter what battery is being used.

I’ve always been a Makita man, told my friends the Makita 2x18v battery system is better than the new higher voltage batteries as you don’t have to invest in new batteries. The DeWalt 54v flex seemed cool as it was backwards compatible but you could not run a 54v tool from the old batteries it was not as good. Now Makita brings out the 40v platform, new tools not able to run off old batteries and new batteries not able to power old tools, BIG mistake. Why did they not use the flex tech and go 18v/36v/54v multi purpose battery ? The only thing that might make stay with Makita now is the variety of tools they do, far more than DeWalt but the battery system might now sway me, the batteries are the most expensive part and what wear out the quickest 🤷‍♂️

@jamcouch2570 3 жыл бұрын

It’s because the battery cells are larger and therefore have a higher output. It kinda makes it impossible to use the same platform. Flex volt is old tech. Uses the same cells as the 18v, but they can draw power form all the cells at once, hence the higher output and the ability to be backwards compatible.

Judging only by ear, the 40v had less trouble doing the cuts. All the while using what seems like less power - a decisive win in my book.

I have done depth of cut tests on this saw in a few vids. You will get a little more out of the 04. Th 01 does 66mm and the 04, if it is the same as the 03 will give around 68.5mm, and an extra 2.5mm with a 190mm blade.

Essentially both are arguably great tools and yes you’d assume that the newer technology 40v tool should out perform the predecessor 36v tool. What is narking me is that the 36v tools haven’t really been out a significant amount of time, so the longevity of the latter hasn’t in reality been that long, especially if you compare the evolution from the 18v to the 36v. I’m so heavily subscribed to the 18v platform that I simply couldn’t afford or justify launching all of my 18v and 36v kit and buy into the latest 40v gear, as much as I’d like too. I’m concerned about how much longer Makita will support the 18v batteries.

@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL 3 жыл бұрын

Makita have the largest line-up of 18v tools around. Even if they stopped making the tools, they will keep making the batteries for years to come because it is a cash cow for them. Don't panic! The 18v LXTs are going to be around for a long time. The 40v system is "as well as" not "instead of", just like they still make 12v tools.

The 40v are definitely nice, but the 18v & 36v makitas are still fantastic. What I'm really looking forward to is the 80v (40v X2) outdoor power equipment. Particularly an 80v chainsaw saw with a bigger bar and 80v leaf blower with some serious power. The makita 36v blower is their only tool I haven't been impressed by. Marginal power increase over the 18v and you can get a corded 12 AMP Worx blower that puts out 800 CFM for around $50. I know it's corded but I can't believe the best Makita can do is half the power of a cheap Worx blower for 4x the cost.

What are Makita's reasons for not making the batteries backwards compatible with the 18v tools just like Dewalt did with their flexvolt system, Milwaukee with their high capacity batteries and MetaboHpt (Hikoki) with their multivolt system? I like many others are too heavily invested in the 18v and 18v x2 system to even consider upgrading to the 40v, would make more sense for me to buy into Dewalt flexvolt because they have more carpentry tools and their batteries wouldn't fit my Makita tools either

@NameNaameNameeNaamee 4 жыл бұрын

Well, life is full of compromises. The only question is where you are making them. Your answer lies in this delta. I suspect that most of the 18x2 tools will be taken off sale eventually and will be replace by the 40V units. The rest of the 18V lineup will stay, probably for a loooong time, since the size and weight of the 40V batteries only makes sense for tools that need a lot of grunt. For the very same reason we still have 7.2V and 12V systems. So the 40V system is not a replacement but simply another class of devices, which makes sense. In a nutshell, happy Makita owners will be happy to upgrade if they feel the need to do so. They will keep their 18V stuff and buy themselves a 40V kit, still enjoying the theft protection and wireless dust extraction for all their tools and batteries. With 320 (!) 18V tools alone, plus corded, petrol driven and 40V it's hard to imagine anyone would not be able to find the tool he needs. Makita tools are affordable, high quality, most of the time at least decent, a lot of the time very good tools for the working craftsmen. That's why you find two of three professionals in europe using Makita.
