I purchased the Hikoki 2 months after you did a comparison with it against milwaukee dewalt and the LXT makita.That's how I fond this Channel. I still love it and seeing as the makita xgt version 2 is just a little better I'll stick with what I have.
Really glad I found this channel. I've just bought the Makita JR002GZ mainly on the back of this video. It's my first 40V tool.
I’ve been waiting for this one across the pond! Great info as usual.
Your videos always help me choose exactly what to buy, thank you!
Love your reviews. All these tools look great, especially the latest Makita and the Hikoki. I have many Hikoki 18v tools and the 36v sidewinder, and as yet have not been able to justify buying the 36v recip or rear-handle saws, which were just on a ridiculous sale here in the US. But I get by with what I have, and still enjoy infrequently using my Makita 15A AVT recip and my Dewalt corded worm drive saws--two of the finest tools I own.
Very good insights about different tools match with different consumables match with different materials, the best stuff are the stuff that work best for you in that particular situation, not necessarily the most expensive or the most popular stuff. Excellent video as always, thx!
Great review! I'm going to start referencing your videos for my tool deals. For the Metabo HPT/Hikoki to be old, it still faired well against the Makita. Early on in the testing I could see the Makita had a lot less vibration. Question now is the price! Thanks for your work! I'll start sending some views your way soon!
Yet another great review!
Nice review. And I love the look-through-the-wall-thingie sitting in the background.
Next week...
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL cool. Definitely won't be as noisie as the recip-saws.
Great review. I've only got the old brushless 18V version and have been happy with it. It's been great for one handed branch cutting and mild steel pipe when making exhausts. This latest 40V version looks a weapon.👍
It's a great tool still for general use, I've got one. For heavy duty demo work, I have the Hikoki.
I'm curious about how it handles thicker metal, use my brushed makita lxt on vehicle recovery. My brushed recip saw is from 2013
Must get one of these beast sabre saws. Beautiful!
The new Makita looks like a winner with the easy blade change, less reason not to invest in a few different blades to suit materials and thicknesses ect of those materials.
My own green meanie just died today tearing up a hot tub :(
Really eyeing the new Makita 40v. Might start creeping into the line starting with 2nd gen sawzall. Thanks for the review!
awesome video man, and definatlly hands down for the makita jr002g! but do you please wanna make a video of that saw vs the milwaukee super sawzall?
I have the original XGT recip that came with the first six tool kit. I only use it instead of chainsaw around the garden and it is awesome. Better than the LXT it replaced.
It has the same quick blade replacement like the new version.
Also, any news on a XGT mower?
Nice I have generation 1. This one is nice
I’ve been tearing shit up with this beast. If you’re a solid object and you see me coming with the new Makita, you know you’re proper fucked.
I had to dig this one out of the naughty bin.
Hows the LED on the JR002?. Mine popped off after using it for a few times only and the JR001 I used more is just fine. The JR002's LED is only held in by the rubber handle
Hi Tools I bought the 40v makita 125mm angle grinder and in the box was additional guard for when using a cut off wheel it clips over the grinding wheel guard so that the top of the cut off wheel is covered the part number is 199710-5. Thanks for your videos on the 40v system
Yeah different countries have different requirements when it comes to guards so different ones get included. Are you in the states?
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL no in the UK I think they are changing the safety regulations (we only used to get the grinding guard).
But I want the Kiwi stuff! Lol Fun review and I guess I'll just have to suffer here in the states... Cheers!
Another great review
The Metabo HPT/Hikoki has been on sale so many times for $99 in US and/or as a free tool that it makes it hard to justify the new Makita as I can outfit my crew with two or 3 of them for the same price as the Makita
I swear it was $75 in the past year.
And you can put the ac adaptor on it ;)
The only downside is how unpopular the brand is and the limited selection of tools that are available.
Hikoki should come with lifetime warranty!
Killer review as usual, man.
They don't? Over here in the states it's Metabo HPT, and I'm staring at the box of a Metabo HPT 36V recip saw that I just bought and it's clear as day on it... Lifetime Warranty. I'm surprised the Hikoki variants don't!
@@ToolDeals I meant that they do in the states and *should* in other markets, and that's what would set it apart for me from the Makita :)
Sorry if I wasn't clear.
The lifetime warranty is more like a 10-15 yr warranty _if_ it's a new release that's bound to stick around for a while. If it's an older release like this, you might get 5-7 years out of the warranty (which is still very good, but they're not gonna keep that tool running till you die).
Gotta be a limited lifetime. Not shitting on Hikoki/HiTabo HPV but they’re definitely built to a price point.
@@robertrada4783a lifetime warranty is better than a 3 year warranty or 5 year warranty, yes?
The tools have a different price point in different markets. Only in the US have they dropped the prices and offered the lifetime warranty. I'm assuming it's to break back into a market now dominated by Milwaukee. In the rest of the world, they're more expensive and come with a 3 yr or 5 yr warranty.
Now you need to test against the bosch seemed makita seemed same speed or slightly slower when I used it and vibration is hell of a better.
Nice!
Hopefully they release a subcompact recipro. I've got a normal and sub in the 18v and find myself using the sub everytime, feels to have the same power, heaps lighter and one handed.
Can't wait for the new scanner vid. right up my line of work of structural building repairs.
I will do an update on the compact version soon.
Hilti has had the PS50 scanner for several years now - runs on 4xAA. Bosch has one that runs on 12V. Not sure if Makita have increased the power (I think it's a passive sensor, so unlikely) by using an 18V battery or if it's just a gimmick to get people to use LXT.
I've done several days with the Hilti and it can be a giant PITA. Throws up lots of false positives and requires several scans of the same area and marking with different coloured chalk before you can be confident. I'm interested to see how the Makita does.
Just noticed the new makita scanner in the background. Upcoming review perhaps?😉
Shhh...
Hell yes. Was going to grab the Hikoki but backed off last minute because I didn't want a 5th battery platform.
I'm waiting for 80v Makita lawn equipment to go balls deep in 40v. So far I have an angle grinder and impact driver.
Just ordered this as my 3rd XGT tool from CPO which was the only amazon listing as of now.
Surprised at the rebar results, it seemed to take ages to cut through even on the lower speeds!
if he had moved the recipro back and forwad while sawing on high speed this woundt had happend
For blade durability I just slow down the cut on metal. I'd rather take 30 seconds to cut and let the saw do the work than 15 and be grinding it
The new XGT saw costs twice the price of the Metabo HPTone in the US. Both are tool only.
Metabo HPT tools are sold at a ridiculous price in the US to try and get people on board. They are sold at more than double outside the US.
I wonder if Makita will release a 40v subcompact version. I use the black 18v version all the time for work. Easier to operate one-handed.
I will talk more about this in an upcoming video...
The hikoki (metabo hpt in the states) is still a monster and for the price difference there is 0 reason to go makita in my eyes.
Plus slowing the blade down when cutting metal helps preserve the blades
I should have waited for the new one came out..
I own a hikoki 36v recip saw..a beast..finally a faster recip saw beat mine hikoki cr36da
Hey T&S, seeing as you keep teasing us with awesome 40v tools, how about a review of 40v impact wrenches?
Coming soon...
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL I can't wait 👍😊
All the Milwaukee fans switching to Makita again😂
Not a snowballs chance in hell I would switch my Milwaukee tools for makita.
Makita JR002G new Champion...
Awesome review, been hanging out to this video for a while as I killed my 18V brushed resipro saw couple months ago and heard this was coming out.
Do you think it would be worth getting as a stand alone tool on the 40V platform with the extra grunt as all my other stuff is 18V? I’d be cutting P.E. Poly pipe and the usual plumbing stuff.
Once you buy this in a kit... more 40v tools will follow...
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Exactly... and before you realised it you have changed most of your tools to XGT...
@@753zXc we just need this new orbital recip to be included in a starter kit
Just get the 36 volt on sale and use your 18 volt batteries
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL true that. Hopefully one of the tool shops will have a tax time sale in the next fortnight
The saw is only as good as the blade, I've found Diablo saw blades to be the best.
Speed can be good, but accuracy is better since I already have Makita 18v batteries, I'd stay w/ the 18 or 36 volt systems.
I would like a showdown betwwen makita and Flex.
Hmmm yes, I am from London New Zealand.
What’s that tool in the background with screen?
Review in a week.
Makita surface scanner.
Only #Makita®
Could you do a review on the Makita XNU05Z?
Possibly... long way down the list though.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL you have a list of hedge trimmers to review?
Of course
When cutting rebar/cast iron, you shouldn't really be using standard bi metal blades, you should be using carbide blades
Seems like few years later I have to swap from 18v to 40v🤣
JR002G vs JR002GZ .... what is the difference?
Nothing, the Z just means it's a bare tool, i.e. no battery or charger included.
Anyone want to buy my non orbital 40v recip?...
🤙you need some red Diablo blades the ones u used for the metal are not the best and makita new one is like lighting love the avt the older model not have that or the hikoki😁👍
Problem is I would of had to buy at least 10 Diablo blades which would have cost me more than the recip saws.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Diabolo blades are rebranded Freud blades and they are known as Bosch Expert Line in the rest of the World. Because Freud is mostly owned by Bosch
No they are called Diablo here.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL 🤔really ok ive seen the diablo demo blades last along time they not the cheap no
I didn't mean that they wouldn't last. It's just that when I do these tests I have to put fresh blades on each tool for each cut, so it ends up costing a fortune.
Makita XGT
i want that cup too bad im from the philippines
I do have another one to give away...
Nothing wrong with 18v the others are too heavy for stretching with one hand
Jealous - on the wrong side of the ditch.
You weren't having luck with the rebar since you're only using junky bi metal blades. Carbide blades would be much better, and everyone uses them now anyways
. ПЕРВЫЙ Я 👍
МАКІТА РУЛИТ ✊
Hitachi and Makita isn't adversaries they're cousins. Не рулит Макита, Хитачи дешевле и сильно. Человек один в комментах написал, мне за деньги которые я куплю Makita XGT можно оснастить 2-3 человека Hikoki.
@@user-qt1lk1be7z случайно ли дешевле?! Если бы качество было бы подобное.
@@user-fx7ic1tw6d не случайно. Фирма Хитачи финансово сильнее гораздо. Японские Хитачи на таком же уровне как и японские Макита, то есть ценовой уровень и уровень исполнения. Проблема в том. что у Хитачи есть свой завод в Китае и они не размещают заказы на стороне. У Макиты великолепное исполнение, но цена....Хитачи пила вместе с АКБ 4АЧ ( это таже самая Макита) и ЗУ с охлаждением стоит 209 уе
Did you intentionally leave out any mention of the M18 Super Sawzall just to lure the fanbois into the comment section? Are we running a pool on how long it takes to get one?
Maybe...
I mean, we’ve seen the Super Sawzall against the Mean Green before, and the Mean Green won, no need to embarrass Milwaukee twice.
Inventar all variant But. Good SAW for hard fast cut work . Saw 😂 blade . But or cheap another sword cut machine industry model work copy Profesonal industry inventar sword cutmachine . No bad Makita and Hitachi. Hitachi good inventar hard work joinery builder works. Makita standart inventar
Should use carbide blades with these saws
Isn't it a better idea to cut wood with chainsaw and cut metal with angle grinder? Blades for those hand saws aren't cheap and wear out in like two minutes of work.
So you can't cut wood or metal with them 🤔 interesting. Cutting out studs with a chainsaw... you tried that?
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL nope just suggested
Chainsaws don't like nails and are much more dangerous to use than a reciprocating saw. Grinders throw sparks and if you've ever had a grinder wheel blow up you'll understand why some people use full face shields, not to mention the noise. Carbide reciprocating blades last a long time.
They're good for awkward cuts and you can somewhat flush cut by bending the blade. They can be preferred over angle grinders as they don't spark. Recips aren't great tools, but they get the job done and are fairly versatile.
The bimetal blades are fairly cheap. Carbide are expensive but last longer and cut faster.
@@jimkane9832 thanks for a full answer! yep i didnt think about nails, i ve spend childhood with father in smithing workshop, so i possibly tolerate angle grinders too much. Every tool has its purpose
Way to big makita.. bring out a smaller one handed reciprocating saw that can be easily used on a daily basis
This isn't for trimming little branches in your garden. And there is a compact version on t the way.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL anything bigger is a job for a chainsaw.. using makita reciprocating saws daily for the last 20 years all I've ever wanted is a good one handed unit that's comfortable in the hand
Chainsaw for demoing a wall?
Get some diablo blades
These Sawzalls are great until big red comes along.
Another person who has never tried these and just presumes everything red is better when the hikoki in this video has been beating red for several years and the teal one now beats that. Red is third.
You must not have used the tools or watches the videos
I'm a red guy for yrs but Metabo HPT 36V have replaced many of my red tools due to Metabo HPT being superior in performance to some of my red and also with price, warranty, durability and the AC adapter option
The MHPT Recip has been kickun our Milwaukee sawzalls asses for yrs
Giveaway only for NZ? 🥹 It’s all good. NZ deserves it. Great review as usual. Fun fact in my area we still don’t even have anywhere to purchase 40V line in person. No displays, nothing! Only trusty Amazon and Home Depot. Sadder face! Lol. Cheers Tools!
It’s frustrating. I been watching you review these 40V tools for quite some time now and I make makita purchases with info from your videos and then I can’t even go somewhere to put my hands on them. Shame. Wife seems happier though! 😜😂
Certainly taking a while over there. I got my 1st 40v in January 2020 and it was launched properly here after several delays in July/ August 2020. So they have been available here for nearly 2 years now.
Wow…MakitaUSA is dropping the ball in my opinion. In that length of time I could of spent thousands possibly on the 40V line. For the work I have been doing lately. And I am just one guy. Lol. I am very thankful to have come across your channel for making better choices on makita tools. It started with the XSH03. That lil shit just won’t die! Been disrespected to death for years now. 😂😂😂 🍻 Tools. It’s Friday here. Beer thirty!
Only being able to order these awesome tools online just sucks. Long and short of it.
Coming up to 10am Saturday morning here so I've got a few hours to go before I hit the sauce.
