Now if only all the screws and nails I dropped would glow in the dark.

To mount the Makita charger to a wall I 3d printed some brackets with keymods that fit where the rubber feet go, so much better than double sided tape. Also one time in the late evening I was working on my car in the garage sitting on the ground when all of a sudden the electric heater tripped the fuse and everything went pitch black. I sat on the ground with no light, no phone, no flashlight, lots of stuff to trip over and an open pit, so I couldnt really find a safe way out... The only thing I could see was my little Makita impact wrench glowing in the dark sitting next to me, so I was able to grab it and make it out safely using its light. Seems like a useless feature but this one time it was a life saver...

When he opened the top of the box to show the added storage, my mind was blown. I've had these tools for years and never noticed that.

they have been glowing in the dark for a really long time now never need to use it yet but it is cool

9 minutes of my life I can’t get back.

Loved my Makita XDT16 impact driver so much that I just ordered a TD001GZ from Japan (new 40v impact driver) for the extra power + made in Japan quality. Also got it in red lol.

I’m trying to decide on an 18v lineup, currently I have the Milwaukee 12v compact impact, my old hammer drill is at its end. Looks like the winner is MAKITA!

you guys are the reason i bought into the makita brand! love the tools now that i have a few!

That's nice to know another Plus for Makita and cheers with a beer

Does he need to smack the drills down that hard ffs

Sweet video guys, I never knew that Makita made a glow-in-the-dark impact driver.

Had to sub with that ending lol. Honestly, I did not realize I wasn't subscribed to your awesome channel.

Wow that glow is a neat feature! Here is a neat fact about the Makita for you. The rubber guard around Makita logo on the side of the drill and impacts, was my idea. Many years ago I spoke to a Makita representative at my local Home Depot(Canada).I told them that some contractor put down his beaten up Makita drill and slightly scratched my engineered flooring. I said it would be better if it had a rubber guard to keep the drill body off the floor. The rep said "I will address it with my research and development." Then they came out with that guard a year later.

I have one the older chargers that play music when done. I love it because it always gets your attention. Anyone around when it plays always stops and looks around and starts asking wth is that noise?lol any other charger you just have to go look and see if it’s done.

Cool video, I knew all of these features and use all of them, that glow in the dark really helped me on one project in the attic.

Hey Vince, the makita chargers are mountable! Take off those rubber feet and look inside, they are actually rubber anchors! you just have to be able to screw in from the other side. Thanks for all you do!

Flipping amazing. Cheers!

Awesome video brotha keep rollin those cameras and doing what you do I just picked up the Makita drill+impact combo and no I didn't know the impact glows in the dark

That’s pretty Milwaukee should do something like that

Holy crap Vince.... I never even thought of GLIW IN THE DARK. I have a makita impact and I HAVE TO TRY THAT NSOW!!!

I did know about the glowing ring! And it is handy.

Yup my Makita Btd 140 and 142 impacts have been glowing since way back when.

This is the most charismatic man’s on the internet, and he ain’t even annoying. Big respect

I love how you can just touch the trigger and the led lights for a few seconds. I don't know if other brands have caught up to this, but I hated Dewalt where you had to hold the trigger down for light - made a big difference installing electrical under a bartop.

Where does the xdt 14 fit in to this line up? A CO worker got one recently and from what I could find the 16 isn't available in kit form with hammer drill. I could be completely wrong.

WOW!!!! just WOW. Sir you are awesome with the explanations.

That is awesome, I had no clue

Well I am just getting into the platform. ...have the router kit ...sliding miter...and CXT drill and impact driver. ..so far...just recently picked up the Sub Compact Recip...(Vince Reminder)..loving it

The glow feature is found on some of their CXT range of 12 volt tools, too.

I don’t mess with those app stuff. I had no idea about it glowing in the dark until I was in a crawl space and my light went out! Wtf I was surprised by it glowing right next to me. Awesome stuff Makita makes Good shit Vince

Fantastic video, and I will see you guys tonight at 4:30pm central time

Hum, that's just cool as it gets.

Hey Vince, love the videos. Would I suggest the next video would be of off brand batteries for impacts. I've bought some for my dewalt tools, 6.0 20amp battery. they work quite well w/5 year warranty. And saved a bit of cash of the side keep in mind they do look off with the tools but oh well 😂

Just got the xdt16 today. Nice tool.

Nice never knew tgat So does it do it without the battery too or what?

Great video and very interesting! I like the glow in the dark! Good job, Vin!🧰👍🧰

Wow I did not know this, other manufacturers should step their game up. I bet it would be very useful. Thank Vince.

Me and my glow in the dark Makitas are a big hit at the raves. Woo woo!

I believe that Makita was really the company that made the first commercially usable cordless tools; they started it!

Love the makita box with the old school makita color

"This is the best impact driver" while slammed into the counter.. Classic!

Well done mate!!!!

Press the white release button in then press it in an out of the charger about 6 times then thensong will start keep pressing until u hear the song u like..

Very cool review I really like that glow in the dark feature

Lol that’s soo cool wish my Milwaukee’s had that

It’s a bit annoying that the charger has no easy way to be wall mounted, BUT...I use self adhesive Velcro tape. Holds it secure and you can still remove it when you need to.

Gonna go test mine now! Yay!

So impressed. so subscribed.

I knew about it, thanks for the video 👍

9 minutes to discuss the backside of a case having storage space and a glow ring on some drivers. Keep em coming! Lol

Very cool they glow in the dark didnt know that

WOW-WEE!!! THERE SHALL BE LIGHT!!! Now if only Ridgid did the same-PERHAPS! Did you hear that Ridgid???!!! Thanks Vinny! 👍😉

What?? I never knew about that storage on that case, I have for two years😂. Thanks.lol

I knew this, I think they carried it over to the impa6 wrenches as well. I use there boxes for roadside automotive work when on call Carrie's my 1/2dr or 3/8 and a full set of 3/8 sockets easley

I never knew that

Awesome I didnt Know they Glow👍👍👍

As an avid user of Makita tools that is old news to most of us. The 18volt right angle impact driver has it as well. Welcome to added Makita knowledge. Just bustin your chops a bit Vince. I Enjoy your channel.

You’re awesome! VCG for life!!!

Not hidden very well all the features ... my first 14.4 v Nimh makita impact driver had a glow ring.... but, hey, you make everything exciting! Nice video, I like makita tools , too. ( even over festool)

What I have done with Makita chargers to hang on the wall. I take the charger apart and find some empty spots to drill holes and put screws away from anything that will arc in the bottom plastic. I cover the screw heads with electrical tape. I use half inch plywood smaller than the charger and use a forstner bit to cut out some on one side. I mount the side I cut on the plastic with the holes facing the plastic. On the other side I use a smaller forstner bit just under the other holes on the back. I use a drill bit to make the slot for the screw to slide up and lock in place. Works just like the real thing. 👍🏻👍🏻

Very nice super charging tower with all the different brand chargers

Love your video every time!

I love all makita power tools ✔️✔️

Amazon has several mounting options for Makita chargers. The rubber feet holes are used.

Hey Vinny your a Legend Mate loving the Vidios

Ty for the video

That’s great didn’t know they glowed in the dark! Love the charging station!

@VCG Construction if you insert the battery in and out of the rapid charge while plugged it. The toon the charger makes will change .

Great video Thank you so much Blessings

I didn't have that on mine, but I did gut mine out to fit the Hammer Drill/Impact/and Charger.

luv ur demo full of zest ...

What about fabbing keyway plates and gluing or doublesided-taping them to the back of the charger ?

Im getting the impression that makita tools are relatively new in the us? Here in the uk ive been using makita for over 20 years. Great tools in the process of replacing all mine to the newer brushless models....... awesome

I did know that... power went out and I was looking for a flash light. Could see the makitas glowing in the back.

Hi man help me Milwaukee 2801-20 o DeWalt dcd 771 c2 con cuál me quedó, cuál es mejor plis man

Wooooow i had not seen dea the top and of the case opened like that TY!

Learning thank you for your video

Use a large hose clamp or two for the Makita charger (around your charging post).

Omg I did know any of this. Thanks

I didn't know about the Makita case, but that's only because I don't own one. If I did, I would have immediately seen how the lid was strangely molded, and I would have explored further. :) And as soon as I bought my Makita drivers, I took them into the dark to see if they were glow in the dark, because the color of the ring looked suspicious.

I have to try this out nowww

all ma makita's came in sortimo box's ... love it ^^

men i thougth that rubber strip on my old white makita impact was just to protect it but it actually glows in the dark!

Makita has great tools that I’ve used for years with no problems

Makitas have had that glow in the dark ring for like 10 years lol. If memory serves I think it was first introduced in the first generation of the white compacts.

I saw a guy who used screws in the middle of those pads who keeps the charger from moving this expanded enough to grip so it could be mounted to some plywood and then mounted to the wall, just a tip there. Didnt look for the video but it is here on youtube:))

i had no idea! i just looked at mine freaking glowing

MAKITA!!! That Starsky and Hutch type music. 🤣👍Thanks Vince and God bless! SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON!!! 😁👍✌

I'll buy it for it's glow in the dark feature. My other tools missed this...

Does Makita's XWT11Z Impact Wrench glow too? 🤔 I noticed it has a similar design to the front of the XDT12 & XDT16

Makita is the way uppp!

7:24 yes i did. i noticed it right away when i took my xdt16 (dtd171) out of the box and the ring glowed. (i was in a dark car)

Damnnnn I’ve had this thing forever, and never knew the storage or the glow up!

When I get bored I just play with the glow in the dark ring. Lol. Congratulations on the 166 k

My white brushed impact driver I use to have the the tip would Glow in the dark

Can you review the Makita 4 in 1 Hybrid impact. Xpt02

Review the TD171, just bought the red version and supposedly its a slight boost from the xdt16z. Also check out the new Td001 which u cant even buy 40v batteries for yet -.- like the idea but i hate the way the charger looks

Pretty sure my first 18v Makita impact from 07' glowed in the dark. Didn't know that about the containers though

I set mine to have a more distinct charge complete sound, not one of the melodies though, they remind me of a daycare.. You just have to click the battery on and off a couple time, I forget exactly how. Awesome charger though. Dog got to mine, had to make some new connections but I still use it to this day.

yeah..i wasn't sure what these where until it had to be super glued back on..then i recognized the "glow in the dark" material
