You know how us tool Addicts are brother. We have to have it 😆. Seriously, we all know XGT was aimed at the contractor needing high demand battery powered tools. Huge cut off saws, breakers, SDS rotary’s and things off that nature run way more efficient on higher voltage. To keep everything on one battery platform they had to incorporate impacts and drills along with XGT instead of having to use LXT batteries as well. Makes sense but us smaller construction businesses like 40volt too lol. Thanks for the in depth review Taylor. Really enjoyed it as always brother ✊

I think XGT is about answering that the worst things to be underpowered in are the big things where you can’t or don’t want to move what you’re working with. Drills and impacts are just about personal preference at this point.

I can see your right with the power settings limiting them. The platform does seem to be oriented towards the higher draw cut tools, circular, reciprocating, etc. Will be interesting to see in their twin pack 40’s if they’ve let it draw more from the batteries.

And just think. I have a couple of M12 Milwaukee impact driver/wrenches that will hang right beside these 36(aka40) volt Makitas. It is all marketing hype. Fall for it if you want to but I just buy good tools period. Makita 18volt, Bosch cordless miter saws and so on. Just bought all three 36 volt Metabo Hpt saws and their 36 volt hammer drill to try. Impressed so far. The reason I bought the Bosch 10 inch 18volt miter saw is the weight. 39 pounds in a dual bevel slide 10 in saw is pretty hard to beat and I have found their saws to be accurate enough for high end Mahogany trim work.

Havent watched the first 30 seconds, but yes, Makita XGT tools are well worth the money!

I like the rainbow loom bracelet!

Great channel!

Imo they should have made the batteries backwards compatible to the 18 volt range ,this iscwhy I chose Dewalt and love their XR/FLEXVOLT TOOLS

40 v makita's, drills tools are very best tools ...all the best ,.....like it , very much ...

i like xgt.

Yes it is but hard to explain to most people. Let's just say XGT has alot of room to be stuffed with innovations and the LXT room is pretty full

The XGT tax on top of the LXT equivalent (or any 18V/20V option for that matter) isn't worth it unless you get power hungry tools like circ saws, sawzalls, SDS rotary hammers and angle grinders. But I think I'd be better served by going 2 platforms and keeping both the hammer drill and impact driver as 18V

for some reason I like the Makita Hammer drill 40v But my favorites impact driver from makita is 172 18v not 40v

The XGT drill is absolutely more powerful than the predecessor. In fact, it’s almost too powerful and that’s why I think it comes with anti-kick back technology to not break anyone’s wrist out there. Probably one of the most powerful hammer drill drivers on the market today. The impact driver is okay, but what I really think stands out most about it most is the 40v platform which allows you to do more work for a longer period of time (more voltage equals less discharge on the battery). Overall, the XGT line is pretty impressive but the price point scares a lot of people off. And people like Team Red because they’re trendy tools.

Item for discussion: if I’m not off-base here increasing the voltage won’t do much aside from exchange volts for amps at a set equation and run significantly cooler. I think the ceiling for the amount of volts+amps is raised significantly making that jump but I’m not sure it’s worth much until they’ve added higher voltage + super high output batteries

makita lxt drill had issues with broken drills in overload, even the bruschless. we have alot broken drills i think over 20 in a year i think. the protection on xgt is nice to keep the wear on drill and it has more then enough power for proffesional use. no one need so much torque on home use and on jobside in my opinion.

Out of all the tools so far, my favorite is their dust blower.

Should I go with Makita GDT01D or Makita XDT19T? Thank you!

Ill stick with the Hercules!

Wow I couldn't believe it cut out on the 1 1/4" speedbore my dcd 805 blitzes that .

I want one of the 172 impact drivers from Japan . That’s what I wish would come to the U.S. it seems as strong or stronger than the 40 volt system .

If not for the XGT dust blower, I would not be on the XGT platform.

#Makita® XGT 👍

These are 36 volt tools. It is printed all over the drill and the battery.

Can get a lxt tool only 100 bucks, is that a deal?

Do I want too? Yes. Did I immediately shit myself seeing a drill, impact and 2 batteries for something like 450 CAD plus 15% tax? Also yes. Definitely sticking with my brushless ryobi lmao

Nothing can beat the Milwaukee. It is simple the best and most powerful

Nope
