So you would advise I can safely buy their biggest router?

@@JesperMakes Absolutley yes

Just don't waste your money on the 40v Highly disappointed with running time....batteries are crap

​@@stevescott7067batteries are batteries mate theres no comparing them, they have certain amount of watts and thats it

​@stevescott7067 4ampere. 4x40v=160 watt. Not bad

Thank you, yeah long introductions and animated logos can be too much, I also always like when videos jump right into the matter.

I'll have to agree with you Rob. I'm so glad I got this one.

@@JesperMakes I have a Makita impact drill/screw gun that’s 16 years old and out preforms any Dalwalt I’ve ever had! Makita is my go to, and what I’ll always buy!

@@brandondixon4023 I have hands on experience with every single big name brand power tools from the homeowner to the professional line and beyond (beyond = festool). I gotta say, makita never really stood out in anything. If I really had to pick something, I'd say their jackhammer is an absolute beast, but nothing else comes to mind. This is not to say they don't make good tools, because they do. It's a solid, reliable and robust brand, but the thing is, pretty much all the big name brands are. At the end of the day, I think it all boils down to personal preference, or more so what you've been exposed to early on and developed your bias (probably subconsciously).

Yeah still very happy about my Makita tools.

And I still love mine as well. Cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰👍

Thanks Brian, I haven't been a Makita fan, but after I got this drill I'm definately getting there. I think my future tool buys will be in the 40v series.

Hey Anderson! Great to see a familiar face.

Thanks 👍I like this new drill very much, it is so strong it can break my wrists if the drill get's stuck in something. This is the first expensive handtool I have ever bought, and one of the first Makita tools in my shop, and I'm happy about having a quality tool I won't need to replace for a long time. Thank you for watching and take care!

A year later I'm still very happy with it. I've even cut down a tree with it 😂😂

😃

Awesome!

I'm still very happy for this drill

Glad you think so!

Only downside, it's a bit heavy with the big battery on, other than that it's like having a superpower..

Yeah don't mess with our coffee

Thank you for sharing your thoughts - I'm still very impressed with the drill and use it every day for all kinds of tasks, not all drill related ;-)

Good 👍👍

Obrigado pelo seu elogio! Fico muito feliz de saber que você gostou do resultado. Eu trabalhei muito duro nesse projeto e fico contente de saber que foi apreciado. Obrigado por assistir e por deixar seu comentário.

Legend! Thank you Sean Cleverly, appreciate it!

Very cool! Are you on the 40v platform? I hear the 18v also performs great, but I haven't got any, the rest of my Makita tool collection are corded. Thank you for watching, I really appreciate it. Looking forard to seeing more from your mill. Cheers from Jesper

Good choice! I also just unpacked a Makita slide miter saw and looking at the 40v circular saw as well.

You're welcome. cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰

Thank you! Will do!

Glad you got around to watching, Tim! Ah, the eternal struggle of saving up for tools, I get it. The tenon cutters are awesome! And they require some torc.

Thanks Jesse!

Thanks for the sub!

Dont't worry, the 18v range is great and very powerful, I just make these weird things so I went for as much torque as possible. Thanks for watching along

Thanks! I made a mistake when recording the video, there were no sound. I had to re-create all sounds in post. Imagine me sitting in my office with a drill and a log, and recording the sounds into my VO mic...

Thanks, I'm still very happy about it

Glad you enjoyed it Victor, and thank you for subscribing also. I'm very happy about the drill still, it's very good and effective. I made another video aboult felling a tree with the drill. Thank you for watching.

Thanks, it was fun making this video, I'm glad you liked it. Cheers

Thank you for the tip about the fuse, I'll remember that. Take care.

Thanks for watching it. See you around..

Hi Shelley, it's called a Tenon cutter, I got mine from the canadian tool company Veritas.

Hi there, yes I haven't been able to break it yet, still works awesome after 18 months.

@@JesperMakes That's awesome 👏

Yup!

Thanks!

Thanks 💯

Hello Makita Vietman! One would think that the official Makita-channel would have more subs? 😃

Thanks, I appreciate it. You are in Russia? Do you know Advoko Makes?

Thank you very much!

Hi Zarimi, I'll have to agree with you. It's one of the best tools I've got.

Thanks.

Hi Mark, yeah we need to get ourselves coffee mugs with lids on. I think Festool made one 😅

@@JesperMakes 😂😂👍🏼

Yeah I guess you're right.

Yeah I'm drinking lots of wood chips 😋

You and me both then.

Yes they are, thanks

I think I could have done the same with the 18v drill, but the 40v was superior to all the tasks. Wait, did you just gain 600 subs?

@@JesperMakes 500 this past month, about 400 of those related to the #WoodJigs21 and most of that thanks to Uncle Knackers shout out ;)

wow that's amazing, and great uncle knackers are so involved in the community. Looking forward to making my #woodjigs21 entry.

@@FixitFingers 40v XGT will get you more girls too

I'm very happy about it and still have both wrists intact 👌

Thanks, it would be too boring if I just sinked in a couple of screws. Did you see the one where I cut down a tree with the drill 😂😂

@@JesperMakes i did its an insane drill for sure! Is the drill still going strong now after further use since cutting down that tree?

You got that right! Thank you for watching along!

@@JesperMakes didn't see any mention of it, does this have a kickback control? Looking at Bosch purely for that reason but I prefer Makita otherwise

@@jonathangarzon2798 it's got kickback control

@@JesperMakes oh that's cool well I plan on using the lxt line for most of my tools (impacts, circ saws etc.) and the xgt line for hard used stuff (recipe saws, drills, etc.)

I could but I won't... 😂

Hi Scott, I buy mine from fine-tools.com, a german shop. They are japanese made and I absolutely love them. Cheers

Well Makita haven't let me down yet.

Thanks 🙏

If you can turn off the hammer when tenon cutting, you should be all fine. Thanks Scott.

@@JesperMakes Yes, I can!

Yes it's amazing. A little later I cut down a tree with the drill, and it only took one bar. For normal use it feels like I never charge the battery.

The 4ah XGT battery is equivalent to 8ah 18volt battery, both are 144wh. But still impressive, i agree. They use torque sensing to reduce power draw when not needed, for example on a light load at full speed it will automatically draw less power, at variable load this will save huge amounts over a day. At a constant high load the battery will not last longer than on 18v tools.

Thanks Juliet, very good tip about starting in reverse with the hole saw. I don't think the tenon cutter producers recommend anything, most guys I watch use corded drills with a lot of power and low rpm, but a russian guy started making these tenons out in the russian forest with the 18v eqivalent of this Makita (in fresh wood - a little easier on the drill) so that's why I went this way. I think it's a very good drill, it's very powerful and it will break your wrist if the bit gets stuck and you don't use the arm on it. The battery life is amazing, I have done normal construction jobs (drilling and screwing in construction lumber) a full day on one battery alone.

@@JesperMakes this drill has an anti kickback safety that can detect a sudden rotation of the drill and brakes the motor to hopefully stop it before it breaks a wrist.

I don't know, they are still going strong year 2 now, and I have the circular saw and garden tools using the same battery now also.

OK!

Yeah it's strong 💪

@@JesperMakes it's wild I found this video. I've been looking to upgrade from an old corded drill that was handed down from my parents. Your video pitches a good case for the Makita. Do you have any insight on to how the battery has lasted during projects?

@@maj_pr0blems The batteries are doing surprisingly good. I use the drill daily and I charge them once a month or so.

On my website

How much is what?

Hej vestjyde, alle snegleborene er auger-bor.

@@JesperMakes sorry, mente dit sneglebor på 2". :)

Awesome, much apreciated! What are your interests? What videos do you like to watch?

@@JesperMakes by the look of it. so far pretty much what your doing at the moment. If your enjoying what your doing that will come through on your videos what your interested in a lot of people will be as well. Side note.. how you make thing's and what tools you are happy working with. Hope this helps 👍

@@LiamBehan-mi8kr Thank you, that's excatly my plan, and thank you for following along...

@@JesperMakes no problem. Looking forward to seeing more 😀

Thank you for your concern, this is not the regular use for this drill, but it was fun testing out what it's capable of.

These tools are stronger than you think, unless youre a clueless clown like AvE you got nothing to worry about.
