i bought a makita set, and though i'm in my late 70's, being now a widow, it has proved a godsend, fantastic make and saw off the other my husband had, so i gave them to my neighbours, good product
The makitas are awesome they have the best battery technology they are the only ones with a fan in the charger we use them daily and never any problems they also have the biggest cordless selection you can get the bare tools at homedepot as needed for 99.00 - 119.00 depending on the tool. And they by far have the fastest charge times the 3.0 will charge between 20 and 30 minutes dewalt is 60 minutes milwaulkee is 90 minutes for the same battery
I agree, I have been using the same kit but with 3ah batteries for almost 2 years now and couldn't be more satisfied. Makita was the 1st tool company (TMK) to Market these Brushless hand tools and now all of the major companies have them . Lighter, more efficient, more powerful more better lol
Watching your videos in order. While I was watching the black and decker unboxing video, I didn't want to be rude and say what I was thinking - ''that's a piece of junk''. I guess you found that out the hard way. Glad you got yourself a quality drill set. The 4 batteries is nice, never an excuse to take a break. ;)
Nice bunch of videos you two have done! I have enjoyed many so far, and found several informative. I must admit I just checked this one out to see the poo-storm you started with the comments! I am happy for you that you ended the cycly of disposable B&D tools, they haven't made quality tools since our grandfathers days. Probably your great-grandfather. Keep up the good work!
Bosch DeWalt Milwaukee Makita make great tools and i got all four brands in my shop. I too made the mistake trying to save money buying a cheap brand. That's how i learned to go out and buy proper tools the first time.
Welcome to the world of professional tools. Just discovered your channel and I'm loving catching up.I run my own property maintenance business here in the UK and when I started up made the mistake of killing several drills before realising why contractors pay the money they do for tools. There is just a world of difference between doing an occasional weekend DIY project and what you guys are embarking on. I now use Makita almost exclusively though DeWalt is very popular right now with many UK contractors. Interestingly, I guess because of the internet, Milwaukee and Festool are starting to enter the market; not regular brands in Europe.Look forward to seeing you guys progress. Best of luck.
I used to use Bosh when working for a utility company and they are indeed good. There is a world of difference between Bosh 'green' and 'blue' though. For the diyers out there; Bosh blue is the professional range.
Brilliant tools, their whole 18V range is TOPS. I have the older 3 speed drill and it works hard. For concrete/masonry hammer drilling best go for a SDS bit type hammer drill, this unit is only suitable for light work. Makita have a killah SDS drill that takes 2x18V batteries, I could sure use that!
I find b&d to be pretty reliable actually, only been buying them in the past year or so though. My only gripe is that they were a little more powerful. But get what you pay for I guess. Also on my cordless drill the chuck often loosens when I use it for unscrewing bolts.
You won't be sorry. I can't recall how many Ryobi, and Black and Decker drills i went through before I got smart and spent the money on Makita, Dewalt, or Milwaukee. Look into the 3/8 or 1/2 square drive impact for impact sockets. I have a Milwaukee M-12 3/8 impact and use it all the time..
I love what you guys are doing and just watched all your videos back to back. Cant wait for your next one!! I want to do exactly the same thing you guys are doing but convincing the wife isnt so easy. lol. The only thing I would do differently than what you guys are doing is....I would drive for several miles on a 2 lane road before it changed to a single lane road for several miles, then to a dirt road for several more miles until you come to a dead end and had to walk several miles to reach my cabin which would have a sign on the door that said, "Sorry I'm not home, I went to the country". LOL. Seriously though, Keep the videos coming I love watching them.
The more I watch you both use this tool the more impressed I am with it's power. What do you like about it and what do you wish was better? Thank you! - Jack
I agree on DeWalt for both qualify and cost. We've also had years of good experience with Craftsman and Makita. This drill set is highly rated and many of the contractors we follow on Instagram give it good ratings even over the more costly Milwaukee set. We'll be sure to share any good to bad observations in our reviews as time goes on. :)
+Pure Living for Life: -- Makita makes the majority of Craftsman power tools. I've never had a problem with them, even compared to my DeWalt tools! They all seem to be quality products, and very reasonable too!!
+ROAD WARRIOR 1967 MUSTANG I found a BOSCH 4 inch angle grinder on top of some ones trash can 3 years ago I blowed it out it works better than my DeWalt
I needed a drill a few years ago. I wasn't sure what to get. Menard's had some cheap off brand on sale. My husband said it would work fine. I needed to drill some small holes in some wood for my bunny. The drill dragged just doing that. Never will I buy cheap again. In the long run it's NOT cheap. I have a Bosch hand held sander which I used to sand a whole floor with. It's still going strong.
Top of the line Makita nice , and congrats on your upgrade..and Rigid brushless 18 volt not bad too...I have neither ..i work with the Porter Cable 18 volt lithium .....but my next purchase will be the Makita brushless or the Rigid.
Umm.. that ring with numbers neither "sets the tension on the ratchet" nor "adjusts the depth that you want the chuck to stop at". It's the adjusting ring for the fastening torque, 1 being the minimum and 16 the maximum. It works in conjunction with the action ring (the ring behind it, the one with symbols) set at "screwdriving operation". Here's the link to Makita USA page for the combo kit that you bought (XT248M, visible 2:12 - 2:20): www.makitatools.com/en-us/Modules/Tools/ToolDetails.aspx?Name=XT248M Click on the link to the hammer-drill page and download the manual.
+Pure Living for Life Are you not smart enough to admit you were wrong? Here's a Google search on both 'torque' and 'tension': www.google.com/search?q=torque+tension&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8. There's even a RUclips video showing how torque *_isn't_* tension. And who says anything about me doing a video review on any power tools at all? That was me pointing you in the right direction (i.e. the user manual) so you can have some idea of the full potential of your hammer drill. :)
The best? Have you used them all? doing all of our jobs? I use a couple different brands, depends on the job I am on. Used them all (quality tools) and some are better at some things than others. Depends on what you are doing. I use my tools everyday, dependability is a must. If you buy cheap and find out they are, you really have no experience to say what tools are the best.
He may not be an expert, just now jumping from B&D to Makita, but does that make him wrong on this tool? You and I both know that this Makita set will do anything he will ever need it to on that homestead. I have Metabo, Bosch, Fein, Makita, and still a couple Milwaukee. Makita is my favorite overall cordless manufacturer. If this guy was a real fool, he would have bought another B&D, right?
bought this for hubby not to long ago. when he went to charge it as few months later. it wouldn't charge. is there a way to see if we were sold dud batteries or the drill is broken please.
Why can't people understand that it doesn't matter WHERE the tool is made, it matters WHO makes it? Makita tools made in japan are the same quality as makita tools made in china, it's the same company making them. They're designed by makita and made in a makita factory by makita workers.
can anyone tells me if the battery charger says on it 110-220 volt????? I live overseas and need to get one online but our electrcity is 220 volt and 110 like the USA.
I have 2 makita dril but that is damaged how can repair any have service centre iam in working Hail Saudi Arabia makita wher repair in Hail location can explain Thanks
Its a nice review, but I noticed something also, is there any difference b/w Black & Decker;;;; and Black+decker... I have seen many products in Walmat with name Black+decker,,,,,,, while I had a juicer with sign '&'.
And....you finally ended up going with what you should have bought from the get go....Milwaukee. For cordless tools you really can't go wrong with Milwaukee or Dewalt. Makita is okay but they don't offer enough tools in their 18V range. I'm glad to see you went with Milwaukee though because you will be doing so much of the work yourself, such as plumbing and electrical etc and Milwaukee is truly the brand that caters to those types of industries. They have so many one off tools that Dewalt doesn't make. Dewalt is perfect for DIY and hobbyists who want great tools, but Milwaukee is for the pros who actually use them for the trades. At this point, maybe not this video, but later when you absolutely crushed it with your timber frame, and everything else you are doing and learning about, you are a pro. It's been nothing short of impressive to watch how fast you pick up all of these various skills and knowledge. Yeah, Milwaukee is the brand for you.
We didn't see them there either. I don't know 100% that it's available online. Can you message Amazon and see if they know of it or maybe the seller? We noticed we paid about $70 more by buying local and we're going to quiz the local store about price matching.
+drifterted FYI I got a killer deal on it at Lowes in Boise back to 2005. Used the crap out of the hammer drill and it's still completely functional. I mix my concrete with a plug in Harbour Freight special.
Aloha, I love your the content, I have one of this charges and i don't use it anymore since I lost the drill at a job site, if you still need a extra charger give me your address so I can send it over to you. thank you for all the info.
WHEN YOUR DRILLING THROUGH THICK WOOD YOU USE AN IMPACT DRIVER OR YOU WILL BLOW YOUR MOTOR IN YOUR DRILL LIKE YOU DID TWICE akita drills are better but a drill like your regular drill is for diy real end the such ---- the impact driver is the one you use for frames .......
Wrong. Drills are for drilling, light or heavy, and impact drivers are for fastening, light or heavy. Both tools can cross over here and there. That Makita isn't only for DIY, professionals like myself use them every day, all day.
Because Makita is much better than a "BLACK & DECKER" both are chinkenese though Makita used to be made in Japan, but I guess Japan gets china to make it for them.
I have a Makita DHP481 brusheless.After 2 years of light use imediat after end the guarantee the electrical part is kaput.Makita brusheless motor is garbage.
Makita was the gold standard years ago. But now Dewalt is best buy 70% made in USA. If you want to spend a little more Milwaukee is the new gold standard.
I think it is important to have a bit of knowledge about what companies own the different tool brands. toolguyd.com/tool-brands-corporate-affiliations/ TECHTRONIC INDUSTRIES owns Milwaukee, AEG, Ryobi, Empire, Stilleto, and Hart. STANLEY BLACK & DECKER owns Black and Decker DeWalt, Porter Cable, Guoqiang Tools, Craftsman, Stanley, Irwin, Lenox, Bostitch, Blackhawk, Bost, Britool, Facom, Mac Tools, Pastorino, Proto, Sidchrome, USAG, and Vidmar. ROBERT BOSCH GMBH owns Bosch, CST/berger, Dremel, Freud, Diablo, RotoZip, Accu-turn, Actron, Beissbarth, OTC, Robinair, and Sunpro. Every brand has cut corners in the consumer market these days. Pretty much every consumer branded cordless or power tool is made in China these days. This includes B&D, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Ryobi, Bosch, Bostitch, and Craftsman. Honestly, they are all garbage if you beat on them and expect them to last like the quality branded tools made 30+ years ago. You can still buy some quality industrial tools but even then it can be hit and miss these days. If you really want to know what you are buying watch AvE's channel where he tears them down and puts them to the test.
+kuhrd. just because something is made in china doesnt that means its garbage. stop assuming that everything from china is junk just because it wasnt made in the brands home country. China is one of the greatest electronic industry in the world..
Makita is china made. plastic chuck. very little bl motor, so it will overheat quickly and will turn off by controller. look youtube metabo vs makita russian video, Metabo have almost twice the size of bl motor. Makita just ripping off people.
Thomas Av, I have a Makita hr2611ft corded sds hammer drill its made in japan and I have used and abused it regularly for drilling/chiselling etc over the last 2 years and it is Anything but cheap china crap, ,Don't get me wrong I like Metabo and have tried them but,...they just aint in the same ball park as Makita or dewalt imo.
Im talking about cordless. Also it depends on country, in many countries makita is 100% always made in china. For example mine. But costs higher price :) in usa only half the price :D I agree Makita is a good brand, i just saying that metabo (they are mae in china too if buying cheap one) Metabo for the same money gives better hardware. BUt yes they both good.
Tomas Av. You can watch all the Russian videos you want, and believe any you want to believe. I own Bosch, Metabo, Fein, Mirka, and Makita. My Makita do anything the others do, at least as well, and for many years of heavy use. They all hold up well. All said, Makita is my first choice in cordless, as is the case with many other real professionals.
Tomas Av. I see you commenting a lot about "China crap" Makita and metabo is better. Go on any uk site and most professionals will be running Makita and most rate them. metabo is not widely used. Also Makita is not China crap. Makita tools are produced all over the world. Japan, China, USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Germany and the UK. Each individual factory produces different tools. Every brand has its detractors, you must have had a bad time with makita
+Ryan Jackson Ryan's a dick. Ryan mouths off a lot. Ryan thinks he's a tool god. Ryan likes to criticize other peoples videos but doesn't make his own videos. Don't be like Ryan.
+Pure Living for Life Ryan didn't "criticise" your video, Ryan "criticised" you pitiful comment. If you don't like people's opinion then don't make videos. Now away you go back to your black and decker tools.
i bought a makita set, and though i'm in my late 70's, being now a widow, it has proved a godsend, fantastic make and saw off the other my husband had, so i gave them to my neighbours, good product
I bought this last week. Simply the best drill out there. AWESOME!
+Jimjim Skimmer Haha right? We are still loving them.... both the drill and impact driver! Where were these the first couple months for us??
Jimjim Skimmer no its not the best

Id say HILTI and FESTOOL are the best. Then out of the main four Hilti, Bosch, Dewalt, Milwaukee. Hilti is the best. Been a market leader for years.

What kind of bit holder and bits can you recommend for the impact driver?
Musikjunx get yourself a bit extender and the Phillip bit from makita, I love mine, the bit is a good color one and it's like 3.99 for 4-5 I think.
I use the dewalt magnetic bit holder and the makita gold bits. Perfect combo. The makita gold bits last for-fucking-ever.
Tension on the chuck ratchet lol...

It's been lamented ad nauseaum but I miss the days when American companies made tools in America that lasted for years.
Uhh... Makita is not an american company. They're Japanese.
how much you pay???
Because Makita is much better than a "BLACK & DECKER" both are chinkenese though
Makita used to be made in Japan, but I guess Japan gets china to make it for them.
cool

@tomas av you sound like a fan boy
Nothing beats a HILTI, really. But, high $$$.
I think it is important to have a bit of knowledge about what companies own the different tool brands.
toolguyd.com/tool-brands-corporate-affiliations/
TECHTRONIC INDUSTRIES owns Milwaukee, AEG, Ryobi, Empire, Stilleto, and Hart.
STANLEY BLACK & DECKER owns Black and Decker DeWalt, Porter Cable, Guoqiang Tools, Craftsman, Stanley, Irwin, Lenox, Bostitch, Blackhawk, Bost, Britool, Facom, Mac Tools, Pastorino, Proto, Sidchrome, USAG, and Vidmar.
ROBERT BOSCH GMBH owns Bosch, CST/berger, Dremel, Freud, Diablo, RotoZip, Accu-turn, Actron, Beissbarth, OTC, Robinair, and Sunpro.
Every brand has cut corners in the consumer market these days. Pretty much every consumer branded cordless or power tool is made in China these days. This includes B&D, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Ryobi, Bosch, Bostitch, and Craftsman.

Tomas Av. I see you commenting a lot about "China crap" Makita and metabo is better. Go on any uk site and most professionals will be running Makita and most rate them. metabo is not widely used. Also Makita is not China crap. Makita tools are produced all over the world. Japan, China, USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Germany and the UK. Each individual factory produces different tools. Every brand has its detractors, you must have had a bad time with makita
Adjust the tension on the ratchet ...........HAHAHA.
Some people crack me up.
People like this don't deserve to use a brand like makita
+Ryan Jackson Ryan's a dick. Ryan mouths off a lot. Ryan thinks he's a tool god. Ryan likes to criticize other peoples videos but doesn't make his own videos. Don't be like Ryan.
+Pure Living for Life Ryan didn't "criticise" your video, Ryan "criticised" you pitiful comment. If you don't like people's opinion then don't make videos. Now away you go back to your black and decker tools.
