Well done

It was designed for 4s you aren’t using it right put a bigger amp battery in an it drives them in no problem I had these for years before going to the brushless version

This new model is running a lot faster a lowest speed compared to the old model DTM51, and that's a problem for my use-case. I wonder if you could just replace the potentiometer with a lower or higher R in the end-point. Maybe the "brianbox" will support it.

Pretty crap but it looks like it’s had a hard life so must of been good to some 1

Buddy thats the budget brushed base model , i had one for 4 years and it did ok for what it is ! Tell you're colleague to stop being such a tight t**t and buy at a minimum the DTD154 . . . . . . it's like buying a 950 Feista and expecting it to be as fast as Focus RS !

As someone who worked as a carpenter full time, bags like this are really convenient. You can have all your key tools in one bag and just make one trip into a house etc. having heaps of plastic boxes is a nightmare if you need to get up steps etc. yes a bag isn’t as pretty a storage solution. But you can have your bit blades etc in the exterior pockets and then have your key cordless tools in the inside. Boxes aren’t actually practical on site. They just look nice in a garage

Rock on. 🤘 Jon

Makita is kinda strange with their pricing sometimes. Your price is $60 cheaper on this light as compared to USA (before taxes etc) Can't find them for less than $240 here.

grand job pal hope you used a shrinking tube on that soldering

Ive Got the old version (can't remember the model number) can also be mounted on a tripod. If I didn't have one I'd probably invest in this 👍🏼

Thank you jon 😊

New subscriber here, like your style, fun to watch. Great comparison 👍

Sir, I would love to buy your Makita Jigsaw. Please name your price and preferred method of payment. Many thanks, Vin.

SO FUNNY! The only advantage is not for the plumber but for someone scrimping by and not knowing what he's going to cut. Pipe, tubing, and what size. And so it's one tool for the lot and range. For that it's "quite nice!"

Spends good money on a good tool and then goes and uses his finger and saliva to ruin the caulk bead

Good stuff Jon 🤘🏼🔝

This is kinda like the video I filmed today... kinda

Good stuff ! Neat kit

You can buy new hinges, they aren't alot

strap on tools are specially designed for plumbers.

As already commented by alphabuilders, 2 cells per column (possibly D cells although there have been other close sizes), total 12 cells x 1.2V per cell = 14.4V. Do you have a bench power supply you could feed the tool from? Also, what can you read across the battery pack with a multimeter? I'd like to know how much the weak performance is due to batteries., worn motor, or slack mechanism. By the way, the longer hair looks great, really suits you. 🤟

Always interesting 👍🏼

All makes sense for the 80s

The battery has 2 cells stacked on top of each other in each of the 6 brown paper rolls. NI-cd cells are always 1.2v each, the chemistry is just like that. 14.4v needs 12 cells in series. I wonder if the tool would run whilst the charger is attached? I believe the battery has had it and does not push any real power anymore. These old cells and chargers did not need all the fancy electronics to protect them as they are not dangerous like lithium and the chargers were much more simple. That charger is heavy and in that shape because it has a good school iron transformer inside. Modern chargers are tiny and light as they use a switch mode power supply that does all the heavy lifting using tiny electronic parts and do not need a massive expensive transformer. Makita 18v fast charger is 8amps at 20v so 160 watts of power. This 14.4v charger has 5 amps. 14.4 * 5 = 72. So this charger has 72 watts of power. So about half as powerful as the modern makita 18v fast charger, but much more heavy and dare I say more reliable. Tools have moved on so much, but Makita have always been a true innovator and to this day produce some of the most well rounded and reliable tools within the given price bracket. Less marketing and more quality.

Makita is the top notch cordless tool in the world, greeting for Malaysia 👍

GOOD MORNING I LOVE YOUR CHANEL, the microphone improves the sound of your voice, cant wait for your next makita reviews, soldier on

I hate the color red. Makita all the way

OMG, I'm so getting one, I already have a generic brand wand that takes a single Makita battery, and allthough it's not this powerfull, its perfect for keeping on my truck to rinse the sand off of everything and everyone, I even carry a gallon jug, and have plenty of water left over . Maybe I'll hold off for a 40V version, but this looks pretty nice nonetheless, I'd just keep the entire thing on a tiny dolly when moving around, as a matter of fact, I already have a couple of tiny foldable Makita dollies that would work perfectly for this . love it, TNX.

the same construction is on some of the blue bosch corded straight grinders and makita- plastic/nylon i think in betweten the gears - im sure its there to be replace in case of jamed tool to as a sacrafice spare part to not destry gears -same construction on home AGD meat grinders of bosch its meant to be destroyed and stop the gears to protect the user

you rule m8

Don't mess with the Makita gods!

Use those all the time. They work fine, but the easiest way to break one is to shove an 18V battery in it.

The light flashes red when you have not reached the correct torque setting, and green when you have. I'll send you the link for the software if you want to plug it in and have a play with that. You can also program it to run at whatever speed you want. You can even set it to run for 1 second on a low rpm then 2 seconds on a high rpm, then stop for instance. They are fun to play with. I really should get around to reviewing all the ones I showed in several of my older vids.

Very cool. I bet the red light when you first pulled the trigger shows that the driver did not reach the torque setting. I suspect it was working fine. Did you try driving a fastener with it? The switch on the gear housing may be a Hall effect sensor for encoding rotational counts, or to count if the back section of the clutch slipped a set number of times. I wonder what the torque rating is...

Maybe that mystery button is a normally open kill switch, closed by part of the case when correctly positioned and fully assembled? First thing I'd try is reassemble the tool but leave the case open and see if it will run from the trigger. If not, or if any part doesn't work normally, try again while pressing the button. Also the switch wires might offer a clue to function; where do they trace to?

They don't have rubber over-molding because it gets wrecked from the amount of hours of work they put theses things through. Also, there is an expectation to wear gloves for fastening tasks so it would be redundant. Software controlled because they don't want it getting misconfigured all of the time between shifts

I want one so badly. The apprentices at work would be so jealous and I’d be the cool 49 year old chippy.

Great video

😆

😆💪

How much and where from I need one and is it super safe

Hi I will buy one from you if possible

Strangely thought that the 12v cut better than your 18v 🤷‍♂️. Great video mate 👍☕️

Beautiful

Bosch and Metabo.

Interesting.why are the blades so expensive ☹️

Test the newer DTP141

Some of us accept a certain amount of mimickry, but that's taking the piss passing itself off as an actual Makita branded tool. I have a Katsu brand cordless trim router that is an extremely close copy of the DRT50, but for a lot less money. Unfortunately I don't possess the genuine model to compare properly, but apart from a couple of very slight differences in case shape it looks identical to pictures of the genuine Makita, and certainly works as expected.

The copy sounds flat even though its new.
