Thanks.. That was best Demo I have seen.. I was undecided, But as I mostly have DeWalt, That is the one I'm buying... Plus on the Makita, I did notice a lot of the Dust collecting at the rear of the blade on long rips.. Yes That is a small detail but since they both performed so well, its the small details that matter

Thanks Richard, been thinking about getting that new XGT, but I have the flexvolt, great video😎🛠️😎🛠️😎

Best review I’ve seen on these. Thanks!

As you said the DeWalt IS a few years older , so of course its going to vibrate more ... I like Makita and I had some of their 40v tools but I wasn't impressed and ended up taking them back to the store , but to each their own ....👍🖖

Solid review @renovationsandrepair I owned the dewalt but sold cuz i didnt like the sight line, i own the xgt and flex models. Flex best of both worlds, smooth cutting refined feeling of makita with the power maybe more powerful then the dewalt in my opinion. Makita adjustment are smoother, but flex also doesnt shake, cuts straighter for more, kerf markings are right on, dust port is best, has a light and sightline blower that comes in more handy then u think. Where the xgt doninates all the way around is their gen2 recip saw, beast!

Great video !!

I need a blade left circ saw so bad I have the original flexvolt circ saw still and it's such a pain. I have the track saw for precision.

It's odd how different things are in different areas.

The dewalt does a much better job of keeping your cutting area clean. Blade is much more visible. Imo that's the most important difference and why i prefer the dewalt

Try 5ah with makita

Makita has a black rubbber removable dust port that helps clear dust better . An upgrade from older models.

Both premium tools. :)

Most of my big power tools are dewalt flexvolt and it’s because of the power is unmatched

The Makita dust chute is average, could be better. The Milwaukee is not in the same field, has less power for sure. I’ve just reviewed Makita vs Milwaukee

you should try makita with 5ah battery, it would be more powerful (9ah FV pack is much more powerful compared to makita 40v 4ah, 5ah would help a lot). also flexnolt batteries have flawed BMS' inside, so I would stay away from them, they are a borderline scam. makita xgt ones are like a space age tech compared to them :)
