@@waynio67 It's every company not just DeWalt and Makita. I use a lot of battery powered gardening tools for work (more reliable, less maintenance, plus petrol/oil prices are ridiculous atm) I use Stihl and Duramaxx tools mainly, the highish capacity (4ah+) batteries are often more expensive than the tool. But looking at the price of decent 18650's it's hardly worth rebuilding the batteries yourself. I'll only go that route if the batteries for my existing tools are no longer available. I only use my petrol powered tools when i'll be doing either really intense work or super long periods with the same tool without access to mains electric to recharge.
Insulation is also important, not just wattage on relatively low power kettles, the Makita looked significantly better insulated so less heat lost. This is why the ban on high power appliances wasn't well thought through particularly when applied to kettles, a 3kW kettle will boil faster so lose less heat, taken to extremes, 10W into an uninsulated kettle=it will likely never boil but 10W into a very well insulated kettle =It will eventually boil.
i charge my battery’s at night as i get lower rates at night and boil my kettle through the day i work alone normally in places that don’t have electric i don’t use petrol generators as its combustible materials and its a big no no!!! so yeah its good for me but expensive not for everyone good novelty for someone who got everything. .
In the long run, versus buying coffee in the drive thru, you might do better with this. Petrol portable generator or a portable propane heater would be unsafe in a vehicle. Boiling water by itself allows a french press the pour over option. ☕
That "Yorkshire Tea" is a con..! I've spent a lifetime going round Yorkshire, and seen a vineyard in Huddersfield, palm trees in Barnsley, and oranges growing in Harrogate. But.....never....nowhere .. have I seen a tea plantation.
I'm from the US and I am sick of seeing all these battery powered coffee makers, finally a tea kettle finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not all of us like coffee! And having just plain hot water is useful for many more things. Plus it shouldn't make your tea taste like coffee ( this is a problem around here when people use the coffee craft for tea water, thinking it's fine when it's permanently flavored and usually not washed out well ).
Benefit of using bottled water is there is no limescale build up in the kettle. My Nespresso machine has been used almost nonstop for the past 2 years and never needed to remove limescale. Think it has seen well over 2500 cups...... 6 cups a day average, 5 days a week for 42 week a year and that for 2 years. Who says I'm addicted to coffee.....
6 cups of day is excessive and overtime will impact your health. Recommended amount is 2-4 cups per day can provide a protective benefit for the heart.
I like how i can buy tool onlys as i have 12 tools but then only need 4 batteries and one charger, i dont want 12 chargers, would be a waste of materials and money
A DC cuppa must taste better than an AC cuppa?... is it a standerd resistive load element?...more ions in the DC cuppa?...soooo many unanswered questions lol. or just call in at a Mc Cuppa?
Pure water is 100c, but usually there's other things (such as chlorine in tap water etc) which alter the boiling temp. Bit like putting salt on ice, which lowers the freezing temperature.
So dose your tea break start when you put the kettle on or when it’s boiled and the tea is made ?. So a fithteen minute tea break, that thing takes 3.24 minets to boil one cup of water so you’re tea beak drops to 12 minutes, boil enough water for Gordon,Gaz and Joe Robinson, it takes 7.26 minutes and your tea brake is now down to about 7.74 minutes. At that rate there’s no point having a tea break. I think you will need to employ a tea lady and she can shout tea’s up when she has made you all a cuper .👍😂
Good to see Gordon got his kettle to join his coffee machine, watch out Gordon ve making pot noodles on site Two battery usage just like the coffee machine remind folks keep them battery's stocked up in the van
Ahhh smart more hotdogs in the kettle smart genius stuff there Gordon, Jeez remember my old boss did this in a kettle, but he forgot to give it a good clean coffees next day taste abit like a 🌭
the batteries really have become a bit of a racket with these tools, there's no reason for them to be as expensive as they are
They are incredibly expensive
Dewalt are going the same way with the batteries

Aldi's Ferrex tools have Lithium ion 5ah 20v at £26..
If they can do it why can't DeWalt and Makita?
I think the prices are going to continue to increase as electric cars are going to require all the lithium production in the world and more

Very entertaining and informative
I think I'll stick with my flask and a can of pop lads.
Great idea 👍🏻
13:32 Get the Makita Portable Power Pack PDC1200A and you can boil 12.0 L of water! Have you reviewed this? If not you should!
Yes we saw that - then did a quick Google - it’s nearly £1000 which is stretching it a bit.
@@efixx Why not ask Makita so send you one foc? They'd be silly to say no!
Power tools companies rarely send anything. - we don't think they want any reviews
May be edit video to keep chat to minimum, and talk about spec, wattage ,I got bored quickly

You need the small air release on the spout otherwise there will be no pressure release
Never understood that with mugs seeing as being a lefty is rare!

I would like to have a pinned comment that those were knock-off Makita batteries. Not OEM.
I bet Milwaukee is in a boil over this.
😂 They’ll probably have a version next year with a torch built in.
I like the builder’s teabox ,
Fantastic video guy’s as always 👍👍👍❤️
So did Gaz 👍🏻
How about a response to my other comment.

Thanks Roy
D I Y "destroy it yourself " at the hospital I worked in they said it stood for " do yourself in ! )
Were they dyslexic :) but joking aside DIY needs to be banned for electrics.
@@100tinsoldiers I suppose they arranged the letters because have deal with the aftermath!
Support your local “Greasy Spoon” 😂🤣😂
You can buy 12v Makita battery charger if you don't have on site power
Why make battery powered kettle when you still need mains to charge the batteries?
Batteries allow you to store power and use it when mains power is not available
This is not a serious question. Go play games elsewhere.
I'm still amazed this exists
Just watched a video on the Makita microwave, wonder how fast it will boil a cup of water?
When I had a look on Amazon the kettle is listed at £363.40 , the charger +two batteries is listed at £229. 99 That’s a total price of £592.99..
£156 when we look on Amazon.
@@efixx ah it seems there are two or three models, I was looking at the XTK01Z
The DKT360Z is about half the price that’s still £385.45
Total ripoff.
I will just stick to my old army Hexy solid fuel burner a mess tin .
@@Dog-whisperer7494 Or even better still, a Jetboil stove.
Howe tools selling it for £128 bare model, I’m waiting tip Black Friday see if it goes below the £100 margin😮
the builders tea pot would not be complete without a flex that has insulated alligator clips on it instead of a plug
Good videos boys this Manuel from south Auckland NZ
Please. Make. Makita. Battery. Pressure. Cooker. For. Easier. For. All
7:12 🤣
😂👍🏻
Fake Makita batteries ?
Mokita
What's next? Makita microwave?
Yes.
Pointless, if you have mains power to charge batteries then you have power to run a normal kettle.
Think about what you just said. Are they testing mains availability?
@@thatrudager Pretty niche market and it's going to eat batteries so again how do you charge them if you have no mains?
Great clip, how I watched it all 😂 but I learned something new like always
Great video guys would like to get one of these for the van 👌
How do you charge the battery?
The measure of 1 cup = 250ml. Check your kitchen measures.
We drink from big cups - 250ml in ours would lead to complaints that the tide has gone out 🫖 😄

Gary never finished a cup so we’ll just miss him out to save time.
We’re has my other comment gone.
Tea break starts from when you down tools and cease doing the job you are paid to do.
Good to see Gordon got his kettle to join his coffee machine, watch out Gordon ve making pot noodles on site

Hot dogs 🌭 are the go to cooking in the kettle 😂

What amperage batteries did you use?
4 👍🏻
@@efixx looks like 3 on the footage, who still has 3AH batteries!
Amperage or Ah? Back to that old question again aren't we? Where people do not understand the difference between A, Ah, kW and kWh.
Would you like me explain it?
AKA battery killer
Very true 😭
I'll put 5a battery
Just use a jet boil or a clone such as alpkit brukit.
Got an MSR that runs on petrol, boils water in no time!
Лаврухи и пельменей туда!☺️
Need one
Can't wait when Dewalt make their own but improved version of this! 💕
Dewalt? Black and Decker already make a kettle 👍🏻
