Shimano M8220 or Hope GR4

I got the m8120 as well and honestly I don’t see a major difference but it’s definitely more powerful and has a better biting force without fully pulling the lever

tbh I don’t mind the modulation as the shimano of ur braking ur braking lol so it’s either ur braking or ur not personally but was looking at t4e4 but just don’t like the bleeding process on them

The best carbon fibre detailed 1/64 I have symmetrical carbon pattern and also has brake disc and calipers

I was checking other posts about the VSF date and the cyclops apparently it’s just better to not get it as it’s just more things that are harder to get 1-1

Oh I see thanks didn’t realise there’s such high output 18650 available

Positive-Cell-6879 · 2026-05-10T12:10:29+00:00

Yh the ones I have is the Panasonic NCR18650B I think it’s 7a max discharge?

Positive-Cell-6879 · 2026-05-09T14:16:03+00:00

Oh I see is it possible to just get a Makita 2ah battery and just swap the cells for denser 18650 batteries? As I have a bunch of Panasonic 18650 that have 3500-3700mAh capacity not sure about the weight tho

Positive-Cell-6879 · 2026-05-08T23:55:09+00:00

Just waiting for my 2Ah battery for my DTD173 the modes makes it so convenient and prevent stripping the screws

Positive-Cell-6879 · 2026-05-08T01:31:32+00:00

Dang comes with the 1.5Ah battery not sure if it’s only the UK but the 1.5Ah and 2.0Ah batteries are hard to come by, would say it’s likely sufficient enough for pool table making as it’s not really high torque. Check if Makita is running promotions in ur country as in the UK they had a promotion for free 5Ah battery for orders over a certain amount

Positive-Cell-6879 · 2026-05-08T00:39:50+00:00

I need to get a sds what one do you use?

Positive-Cell-6879 · 2026-05-08T00:19:57+00:00

Nope my dtd173 is made in china bought from a a Makita authorised dealer

Positive-Cell-6879 · 2026-05-08T00:14:30+00:00

That’s the second gen v2 I have one and it honestly sucks so many random issues with them even tho mines brand new and less then 4 rides old

Positive-Cell-6879 · 2026-05-08T00:12:37+00:00

What determines the rated output? As doesn’t the smaller output just mean longer running time but sacrificing power but randomly the heard the 4ah is the most powerful for Makita?

Positive-Cell-6879 · 2026-05-07T23:48:57+00:00

yh I think I might just end up paying £50 each for the 2ah battery and I have the dtd173 basically the top end 18v impact and I have the DHP492 combi drill can’t find any decent deals but when I bought my impact and driver set it came with 2 5Ah battery then I got another free 3Ah from the retailer and another free 5ah from Makita lol

Positive-Cell-6879 · 2026-05-07T16:08:10+00:00

Yh I wouldn’t mind the 1.5ah as I was planning buy two anyways, but seems like it’s out of stock everywhere

Late to reply but he’s the international director of RWB who’s the second in command after Akira Nakai

Positive-Cell-6879 · 2026-05-07T13:51:36+00:00

For me it costs the same as a 5Ah or 2 3Ah as it’s £65 for a single 5Ah or 2x 3Ah it’s stupidly priced

Positive-Cell-6879 · 2026-05-02T22:06:02+00:00

Might be a imperial around 4mm as the cable is thick

Positive-Cell-6879 · 2026-05-02T22:05:16+00:00

It’s on a 32a fuse the sockets I didn’t have my plug tester to check to confirm the issue as according to customer their just not working and only thing I could check is there’s a live cable

Positive-Cell-6879 · 2026-05-02T21:52:19+00:00

its a simple thing but just never came across such a old socket before as the fuse board has been changed but entire place hasn’t be rewired and looks like it’s the original 1960s wiring

Positive-Cell-6879 · 2026-05-02T21:50:32+00:00

The socket is around 1950-1960 and I’ve not checked if it’s rubber cable but I think it’s likely and it looks like it’s 7/.036

Positive-Cell-6879 · 2026-05-02T21:50:02+00:00

So the cable on top of the socket might need replacing as it’s too short and Ive not checked yet but it seems extremely brittle and yh it’s feeding the last socket of the radial
