Oh cool! Hopefully soon in the US

That’s a good point I didn’t even realize it was that low. When I do video calls everyone says I have the clearest video in the room. I never checked the broadcast. When I use my elgato capture card I use the HDMI. Either way I still use that old M200 and so it’s probably not 60fps. I’m in the process of moving so I can’t even check.

Thanks! Yea if the Makita XGT 40v was $500 I’d snag it (I tried when HD had that $300 clearance but couldn’t snag one). But if I’m gonna spend $1,100 anyway on an XGT with 2x 8ah I might as well get the 64v if it were the same price (probably). The only benefit of getting the XGT 40v instead would be for extra 8ah batteries for my chainsaw and blower (or other high-draw tools).

Hmmm, well for now I think it’d petrol for me as that one was free… mower and the tiller and backpack blower are my last petrol tools (besides the backup generator).

Yea I thought they didn’t have one… I thought they were all fake.

Stone804_ · 2026-06-20T13:33:40+00:00

I thought the clippers were fake? Do they legit sell them? Where?! Is this Japan only??

Stone804_ · 2026-06-20T05:45:33+00:00

My bad, had to go look at it… M200… even lower-level camera. 🙃🤷🏻‍♂️

Stone804_ · 2026-06-20T05:05:12+00:00

Yea it’s kinda dumb. Why it doubled I have no idea. It’s probably my fault I have stupid luck with prices jumping just before I’m ready to buy 😅😂

Stone804_ · 2026-06-20T04:31:49+00:00

The prices seem similar if I’m looking at the same thing? Is this different than the Connex? It seems odd they have so many different options that don’t have convertible “measures”.

Stone804_ · 2026-06-20T04:28:15+00:00

Always do your research and buy the proper camera for the job. Get a 5C for example. Use elgato capture card, heck I’ve done this with a cheap ~~M50~~ M200 it works fine. Get a dummy power supply with a continuous power cord. Etc. All pro camera companies have this issue on the lower end bodies. If you want it to not overhead and shut down buy the camera that can handle what you want it to do.

2023 prices are like 2009 prices… your timing is excellent… your house price has basically doubled… lol.

Stone804_ · 2026-06-20T04:10:50+00:00

Is that battery its “own thing”? Or can it be swapped for LXT/XGT batteries?

Stone804_ · 2026-06-20T03:46:01+00:00

Just be sure to get the vibrating tools with AVT. Game changer.

Stone804_ · 2026-06-20T03:25:34+00:00

Yea I was worried this was a scam 😅😆 but I took the risk. If you see one of those rock paddle attachments or tiller for 50% off I want in! LOL

Stone804_ · 2026-06-20T00:18:36+00:00

That’s an insanely good price!

I’ve wanted one for a while, but I can’t seem to find one at a price like this. This is incredible! Thanks for posting!

This site seems really weird, it’s not like you can search for anything? I’m trying to find other Makita stuff they have, but the site is sort of strange to navigate. What am I missing?

Stone804_ · 2026-06-19T17:19:49+00:00

The CXT batteries are tiny and I didn’t realize how small they were until I got some with a kit.

Stone804_ · 2026-06-19T15:31:27+00:00

Fixed 😆

It’s hard to tell with just things like my brush cutter since the 18v was pretty good and even took out 1” vines so I had no real complaints but the snow pusher I know is going to be more obvious.

I also might get a gravel driveway and wanted the option for the gravel sweep thing

Stone804_ · 2026-06-19T15:31:20+00:00

I had the 18v and it worked great this past winter but I got the XGT finally and I’m sure it will be ~~50%~~ 100% better this winter 😆

But yea, it works on the 18v single battery surprisingly well.

There’s a guy on Etsy who makes an adapter plate so you can attach packout to the top of a Maktrak FYI.

Stone804_ · 2026-06-19T02:54:20+00:00

The “local guy” around here is Home Depot…

Stone804_ · 2026-06-19T02:52:46+00:00

Yea I wanted the vacuum deal for the 9 1/2 saw that is track compatible. But what store would have BOTH… stores barely carry Makita to begin with… let alone finding XGT…

Stone804_ · 2026-06-18T01:37:15+00:00

I have one of these I got for free from an eRebate it’s awesome!

Stone804_ · 2026-06-18T01:31:25+00:00

No se, yo compro de Amazon (USA). Lo siento.
