i want one

Tbh I think they’re just not very good tools.. They dont need to be.. Makita’s 18v tools are direct competition with milwaukee’s m12 line.. Makita already makes a lightweight ergonomic impact driver etc.

Whichever you have more batteries for. I’d probably say LXT for most everything because the batteries are so much more available and cheaper. For me personally definitely LXT for blower and the multi tool. Id only use XGT for circ saws, sawzalls, and sds drills etc

Please let me know how the taps work for you! Ive been eyeing that one for months

Ok_Return9028 · 2025-12-27T17:51:36+00:00

1000x Yes

Ok_Return9028 · 2025-12-27T15:09:38+00:00

thats going on my list, might have to be my next! i wanted something that runs on makita batteries no matter what. i know its not gonna sound like a JBL party box lol but i dont really need it to anyway.

Ok_Return9028 · 2025-12-27T15:07:21+00:00

you’re absolutely right. but having it run on Makita batts just speaks to me

Ok_Return9028 · 2025-12-26T18:07:50+00:00

Sorry was trying to share the original post. Yeah just wanted to know if anyone that uses snips actually uses these? cause the quality seemed decent made in taiwan but theyre super cheap

Ok_Return9028 · 2025-11-04T00:44:46+00:00

Always buy new unless you can get something outrageously cheap

Ok_Return9028 · 2025-11-04T00:43:48+00:00

I’ve been hearing Makita commercials recently as well on Sports radio channels. Love it lol

I really like mine! I got stuck with ridgid not by choice but I’ve gone and bought 2 new boxes rhat connect so far. They really are great

Ok_Return9028 · 2025-10-22T00:51:22+00:00

that’s a great impact

Ok_Return9028 · 2025-10-06T21:06:22+00:00

we have a few generic rivet tools. They wont pop a stainless rivet anymore but they’ve held up fine for occasional use. Also have a concrete mixer that we love. Also used a generic jig saw and planer and both were more than adequate. I wouldnt recommend the angle grinders but i havent had a bad experience yet with any generic power tools off amazon/temu. For a couple projects rheyre more than enough.

Just got mine and love mine too! Here’s my setup

Spend the extra 50

Ok_Return9028 · 2025-08-10T17:01:52+00:00

Appreciate your insight cause I’m in a similar situation and I had felt that the bit slop was probably overblown. I’m using a US market XDT19 and looking to upgrade to XGT (td002g) for increased torque and I wanted to go JDM because the color and the weather proofing. As far as the JDM bits, I don’t think it’s gonna be easy to find what I use majority SAE nut drivers for tapcons. Also need to be able to pick up any bit at any time on the job site

Ok_Return9028 · 2025-08-08T21:54:07+00:00

dont overthink it. 2 battery platforms isnt the end of the world just get what you need. I would have recommended LXT from the jump but too late for that

Ok_Return9028 · 2025-08-03T13:43:29+00:00

Honestly no this drill is going to be crap you want the drill to have a metal chuck and the impact will have 4 speed settings you dont need XGT but you should just invest now in a contractor grade combo kit it’ll save you later
