*For the price, this is a pretty decent grinder **MyBest.Tools** With 90 psi shop pressure is hard to stall even when material galls up in wheel. I've got three of them now, two of them I bought back in 1992 and they are still going strong!*
i just got the kobalt 24v max die grinder .. i already had a 4.0 battery thing is awesome ! 119 for grinder n 50 for a 4amp battery . runs noticably quieter than makita but only time will tell which lasts longer
Thanks for the great review, pretty much covered everything I wanted to know. I had been looking into going down the air route but the cost of a compressor large enough to run the tool well makes it impractical for a home shop I think. Not to mention how much power a decent sized compressor draws and how physically large they are.
Except makitas batteries are about 10 years behind. The biggest one is a 5.0 while others have bigger better ones. So no makita isn’t no where near the best in tools. It’s Milwaukee
@@mrcastro8740 6.0 is the highest capacity single and you can use 2 on many of their tools for a total of 12ah. So they aren't behind they are more versatile. Same batteries work in all of their 18v tools.
I’m on the makita battery platform but was a little hesitant with no variable speed on the cordless model. - does this even matter with wood rasping though? Also what’s the life like on that kutZall? Just ordered ordered but not letting myself use it til I get current project out of the shop... nice video- thanks
I personally dont vary the speed when using a tool like this...I just like consistent power that the tool provides, air tends to die off quickly. I have had some Kutzall disks and bits for 6 years and they still work like the day I bought them.
Wish there was a trigger instead of a switch, out at least a speed dial. That thing spins up too fast in some situations and almost all other Makita tools have the speed switch
Nice video man .Thanks for your time ....Does it accept the dremel tips do you know ???? Greetings from a Scottish carpenter/joiner ... (with proper trade papers).
Anyone can confirm that the bits /borr are widely available and interchangeable from other brands ? I would like to purchase one but noticed a review saying it will only accept 6mm and for wood carving that size is limited?
I bought one the same lasted less than a day before stopping . Went back to store they said If I need it quick, I need to take to Makita service center 40 kms away I bought it for a job where power was a long way away.I needed to finish job so I drove it there, They said sorry we will need to get part and repair 2 weeks later not had any contact from them and them. I bought this and have always bought Makita , I have 10 batteries and 15 tools In18v or more plus leaded tools . But will never buy another makita tool again. POOR SERVICE , at its' best
The only thing Makita should have done was make 24 volts battery packs because 24 volts stacks to 48 volts, 120 volts, 240, 600 volts....... think about using them on solar systems 😎 cars should have been 24 volt systems then you could run your car off of a Makita battery 🔋 😅

right on, good to know

Right on. I haven't used Kobalt tools...are they generally pretty good?
Yeah I’ve noticed the makita are a bit loud same goes with there other tools I’ve had ! I don’t know why !!

I was using an air die grinder - $300 on a compressor and it couldnt do the job. Definitely prefer this option.
@@GaraWoodWoodworking what the difference between the XDG01Z and the XDG02Z?
@@1Grandhustler I believe the XDG02Z is a shorter compact version
It’s Makita it will destroy any other brand out there hands down no one makes better tools 🤘🏻👌🏻👍🏻
totally agree!

@@mrcastro8740 Really? You think makita batteries are not as good? What brand do you think is better? Appreciate the comment :)

I agree. All my power tools are Makita and they never miss a beat.
Thanx for the review mate 😊 👍 well explained

No problem, thanks for watching

Appreciate the review, thank you.
How has this tool held up for you and is there a particular set/brand of bits you'd recommend in conjunction?
Its held up well so far...I use it often and I haven't had a single issue. I really like the Kutzall bits. www.kuzall.com
@@GaraWoodWoodworking That's great to know.
Thanks for the reply & the link.
I want one of these, but seeing how much dust it makes, I guess I won't be using it for wood.
IT does remove a lot of material....so yes lots of dust.
Nice video man .Thanks for your time ....Does it accept the dremel tips do you know ???? Greetings from a Scottish carpenter/joiner ... (with proper trade papers).
I think dremel tips are 1/8" ...not sure if you can get a sleeve.??
@@GaraWoodWoodworking Cheers mate .I got one .Great tool .Good time saver.
Excellent review
Thank you

1/4 bits fit into 6mm collets. The difference is less than the amount the collets loosen, some wiggling is often needed though
Can you share the Amazon link for the die grinder ?

@@LemonySnicket-EUC you bet
Noisy. Can you use in an an attached garage? no
Well it is noisy yes...not much louder than any other tools though....

it burns because you are not able to use the tool in the right way.....
sorry, what do you mean "use it the right way"? :)
I can hear your grinder i think a lot of noise and vibration
Think your bit is too heavy or too big try 6mm to 10mm or 3mm to 6mm
The tool is loud yes....the bits are 1/4"
The only thing Makita should have done was make 24 volts battery packs because 24 volts stacks to 48 volts, 120 volts, 240, 600 volts....... think about using them on solar systems 😎 cars should have been 24 volt systems then you could run your car off of a Makita battery 🔋 😅
