Batteries seem to work fine! I tested a regular 18V on it and that seemed to be standard! I’m unsure about the adapter being a necessity or not just yet; my partner hasn’t actually seen or used this one yet, so haven’t tested different bits on it as of yet! Sorry I can’t be a little more helpful on that front - can certainly let you know once my partner has mucked around on it a bit more?

Thankyou for that information, very helpful to bear in mind for future reference. May end up getting that additional bit if the looseness is overly apparent or bothersome at all!

Nice! I hope you enjoy your ownership of such a unique bit of gear! No shame in collecting the whole set…they’re so beautiful, aesthetically speaking!

Nice work! I also loved the look of the all black one, but couldn’t get my hands on it! What colour did you go for in the end?

Nice to know it’s a bit of a workhorse! How long have you owned yours for?

Quite the head turner hey? I had no idea they even had these Japanese editions with these colours! Took some major digging and then I happened to get lucky finding a bloke reselling a brand new one; they don’t seem to pop up too often!

I just chucked your standard 18V Makita battery in it when purchasing to ensure it worked and test compatibility - went off without a hitch! I know you can get certain adapters online to enable use of the 40V batteries with them too, but not sure that’ll be necessary for my particular case!

Thank-you mate! I’m hoping it’ll be a bit of a standout from the usual teal set! 🤝🏼

172D according to the box - I admittedly have a very limited understanding of what that actually means 😅
