This power tool looks very similar to the Makita brand. Paid $40 for it brand new, the real “Makita” version from a proper tool shop here in Australia, cost around $400.😊
for 40 bucks it's a pretty good price for a home handyman like me, because use the tool only when needed but if you use it frequently it's better to use the original Makita.
For 40 bucks it's worth it. As long as you get some service out of it. You covered 2 survey questions, the battery indicator and the less expensive over more. Well done sir.
Yes indeed, I was wondering what the “others” think. I usually opting for the quality but this deal was very tempting. Saved $360 which is a huge amount for me.
Ha ha ha, yes I can, but I don’t want to support the fake industry,.. Maybe I just did with buying this tool.? Not sure what the Makita company think of all this.
@@MasterT-n2cI often wonder if the fake stuff might actually be made in the same place but with the untested inferior parts. To make use of test parts from new vendors. They don’t work well, but selling a third rate product for a third rate price still beats throwing away the otherwise useless parts
I have an old corded harbor freight angle grinder I bought possibly even at a garage sale for under $20 (I think I’ve had it since the 90s) and my 18V Makita. They both have a purpose. $40 for that one is surely worthwhile since you have batteries. If it lasts for a few uses or even a few years it’s a score. I don’t use my battery one daily, but I do use all my makita tools daily and they will be around for ages. The old corded one, when it’s used, it’s usually something that takes extended periods or being at full capacity. I’ve cut car parts, bed frames, a train track section off, and countless other things. Had it lasted even a single year I would’ve been surprised.

Yes, this was a great deal and the price difference makes you wonder. Thank you for watching.🙂

@@STV-H4H Yes I've heard that before some company do the fakes in the same factory
@@MasterT-n2c : Yep, on an extra but "off-the-books" work shift.

Yeah that is what I thought you can't go wrong with $40
And 1yr down the line, has it died on you? do you wish it had a trigger or you prefer the horrible on/off switch design?
Very happy with it, on and off is just fine.🙂👍
@@MasterT-n2c Thanks. Some say they like this switch some say the trigger one is better. Ever owned one of those? What do you think?
@@Sir-Kay Trigger switch on this type of machine is not ideal, because you have to hold it firmly and with the trigger you have one finger less.
@@MasterT-n2c got it.
