On 5 vs 7" power, leverage is a helluva thing. You gotta pump up the juice in a 7" quite a bit just to match the pressure you'd be able to apply to a 5" because the lever end on a 5" is working so much less against the motor.
Those intros get me everytime, New Zealand is so beautiful I'm highly considering moving there one day, keep up the awesome reviews ans love from across the pond!
Another option, if you're on the LXT line, and want to slowly integrate into the 40v line, this is an option. I need another grinder, to lazy to keep swapping disks, and want a larger size ... This seems like a good option to get me to the XGT line. Thanks!
Good info & demo. The 125mm 5" Hikoki grinder did pretty good in your last vid & the Bluetooth battery is out now too. Thanks bro & stay safe with the Mrs. This Lockdown maybe different. 😅😥
These are great, but they cant really substitute the corded makita 7 inch grinders. You usually use these big grinders when you need to cut a lot, and in that case, its better to set up a spot and pull a cord. Also corded versions are more powerful and dont stall as much. In fact im yet to stall any of my 9 and 7 inch grinders.
7 minutes doesnt sound like much but its a decent amount of work considering thats time pushing the grinder hard continuously.. especially if you consider most people will have a pile of batteries and a few chargers.. im cheap as can be and buy as few tools as possible and i still have enough batteries and chargers to keep me running continuously with my milwuakee 5" that gets fed 7" disks once you have two rapid chargers and atleast 3 decent size batteries its hard to run completely out of juice unless youre just going at a stack of steel or concrete for hours on end with no measuring, no prep, just cuttings
People that use grinders everyday are never going to run these battery grinders that’s for sure. Just so inefficient. I’d love to see AC v battery. No one seems do do it on RUclips. Battery tools are so many times more expensive than AC but wages are reasonably stagnant compared to the cost of upgrading to battery tools. Go figure?

how about test motors' torque?
Easier to stall 7” due to the circumference being larger also
@Connah Jones Yes and no. The 9" is harder to stall than the 7" as it runs slower and produces more torque due to the different gearing.
@@connahjones8178 that along with the fact that Makita didn't put a larger motor in the 7" than the 5".
@@connahjones8178 that's what he said

A lot of effort you're putting in your videos to give us the information we need and it's entertaining 👍
I appreciate that!

11:00 wow i knew makita put tunes on their battery chargers but they really stepped it up with the grinders! much nice sound than cutting concrete :)

Great video as usual.really beautiful scenery. Is the XGT getting x-lock at all if you know?
Hey man, seen Milwaukee's 230mm grinder? I saw a video where it looked as though it wouldn't stall out, a comparison would be cool. Great video!
Excellent👍🏻 can’t wait for the next one mate
You’ll have to get your hands on the demo saw and see how it goes DCE090Z compared to the 9in when you do it
Hey Tools & Stuff! I’m looking where i could buy the makita xgt 5.0 ah battery? Do you happen to know anywhere i could get it for the US?
At my previous job I used a cordless grinder all day every day and had no issues with runtime.
what grinder were you using?

waiting for 40V×2 version so it could exceed cored grinder's power.
@@琉球教皇 metabo already has this one 2*18v with 8ah 21700cells, not sure makita will make it
@@АртемВ-и5р No such thing as 8ah 21700 cells. They would be 10x 4ah.
Any sign of the 40v 150mm brushless grinder??
Are you going to try to review some niche, but potentially surprising brands?
Having bought the LXT 9" for $200 CAD, I have no regrets, especially seeing the XGT 9" is retailing for $400 CAD.
Same here.

Great video. Thank you. Any change of doing a review on the 40v twin battery charger?
Coming soon...
Probably on my other channel.
Can you put a 6" guard on the 40v grinder?
You can on the 5" ones. And there is a 6" one, I did a video on it.
I'm curious how the 36v 2.5ah packs will perform as they age on high demand tools.
The previous 1.5s held up extremely well I wonder if that’s similar
That looked dodgey as when you were stalling the 5 inch grinder
I was waiting for someone to say that. It's just perspective. My overalls are actually no-where near the grinding wheel.

There is a niche for every tool. So many different types of work going on out there in this world.
