i love how the box i sent still has the word "track" on it from when i used it for my dewalt track saw lol
Love Makita, love cordless, however it's easier to find your corded tools when you've put them down somewhere, they're always at the end of the wire.
Confucius also say........
Unless it's a sawzall 😪
Unless someone cuts the wire and takes it lol
🤣😅😆😃😀👍
got those blue goodies. nice collection amigo..... nice to c i'm not the only blue junkie 😊😇😇
I am a physician in Texas, not a builder. On my time off I just binge watched all his videos! Informative for many, but pure entertainment for me. ‘Scott Brown here. On this exciting episode...’
I just subbed based on your comment. Lol joking I actually loved the video and dude seems pretty cool.
I am a surgeon in Melbourne, Australia. I bought a bunch of 18 V cordless Makita power tools today. looks like I made a good choice. Just have to make sure I keep my hands well away from those blades!
@@michaelfink64 Especially the blade of an electric plane. I made the mistake of being distracted before the blade had come to a standstill after turning it off. It can chew up a finger very badly.
I’m a hospital manager in the U.K. Just home from work , poured a JD and Coke and now watching someone give an expert run down on tools I want to buy but don’t need
@@michaelfink64
Keep those surgeon hands safe, your the real hero. 🤗
55 yr old(!) carpenter. I’ve always bought makita. They simply are the best. I even have my original 9.6 V drill (with the long battery in the handle) from when I was 21!! You remind me of a younger version of myself. Subscribed. 🕶
Makita apparently isn't owned by a giant shadowy mega parent corp; it's just Makita. I love them for that reason alone but thankfully they make solid tools aswell!
@Jack Cleary Check yours, Makita is one of few independent tool brands left. The other two are Fein and Hilti.
@Jack Cleary explain yourself. Makita does not have a parent company. You deny this? Who do you claim is their parent company? Please provide some evidence. Spoilers: you can't, because they do not have a parent company.
...coming from someone who doesn't own a single Makita tool. I can still give respect where it's due.
@123crissmith No they're a publicly traded company on the Tokyo stock exchange. They do not have a parent company.
@Logos Foundry shadowy mega parent corp?
@@CarlJohnson-wo5dn for example: Stanley & Black and decker own Dewalt, craftsmen and other brands. Google tool companies ownership you will understand. Like in car world - Volkswagen owns skoda, audi, seat, Fiat owns jeep etc...
The brushless Maktia impact driver is an absolute beast. It's small and lightweight but extremely powerful. It's actually logic defying how good it is!
So yeah, I agree with your 'review' of it :-D
Love this channel. The music, the editing, the content. It’s all spot on.
Reminiscent of Casey Neistat
This comment is spot on
Nicholas Heidl yea
To be fair you can't go wrong with a lil Lakey
You're one of the reasons I went with Makita. Found you channel about a year ago and just love to watch your vids!
Red LEGO’s over here.
I was looking to upgrade my tools, & team Red, had, & still has a tool rep on staff in my local store. (Shoutout to Tyler!) Honest & informative, so I walked down that path.
If Makita had their tool semi truck, in the parking lot that day I might have chosen a different path. I was told Makita has the largest tool platform.
Quality construction, a great work ethic, & the right tool for job, be it Blue, Red, Yellow, or Green, says a lot about who you are.
SBC - keep the videos coming!
Sawzall was actually Milwaukee’s trademark name for there reciprocating saw. They were the only one who made one years ago. It just became the common name for all of them like Bandaid (adhesive bandage) Vaseline (Petroleum jelly), Qtip (cotton swab),
Ian Xerox
@@avega2792 Good one, Let's see how many more we can come up with. Hoover ( vacuum) for people outside the US. Chesterfield (couch or sofa) another English one.
I hear a lot of people use skil saw as a generic term for circular saw too.
They're only the common names for things in America afaik, except Vaseline.
Crescent Wrench instead of Open Ended Adjustable Wrench
I discover this channel in my recomended videos and now I'm sticking on it, great videos, good advice, grettings from Croatia
Something I just found out about the Makita hard cases recently totally blew my mind. That is that a lot of the individual cordless tool hard cases have a hidden storage compartment in the upper lid of the case. You can pull up the skin of the upper case (the side with the Makita logo) and inside that half of the case there's a secret compartment for drill bits and whatnot. I've had my Makita drill for over 6 years now and just found this out the other day and my brain melted.
Scott I am starting my job as a builder next week and I’m buying all makita for it because of your vids! Thanks for giving me the courage to do carpentry!
Bought that router 11 years ago to use with the trend hinge jig, still going strong today
I have the exact same setup. Trend two piece skeleton hinge jig, and my Makita cordless trim router. Hung many door with this setup.
Thanks for the showcase. I just bought an impact driver. Finally upgrading to pro quality, went makita because of sale. Have a great day
I just put an order in for an 8 piece set I'm excited
Highly recommend the cordless grinder. Got it in a kit, and it has quickly become one of my favorite tools. Cutting metal, cutting tile, sanding chipping paint off a steel box gutter with a flap disc, or sharpening up scrapers or cleaning off rusty tools. You won’t regret getting it.
I have that same plunge router and it’s a BEAST! I also got it for free, haha! Use it nearly every other day as a kitchen installer.
Love your channel, and thanks for sharing your craft and making top quality videos!!
recently switched a lot of my kit from 110v to battery and i can't emphasise how much more efficient it is, great video
Thats the biggest upgrade no matter the platform!!
SAY NO TO CABLES!
Hello from Canada! I've been in commercial construction for over 30 years. Great video! I have almost all those tools. About the cordless "SDS" hammer drill, they just don't last and I'll tell you why. One of our company's main tools used is the corded sds hammer drill, lots of power all the time. I bought this hammer drill for myself on the jobsite. The freedom of no cord setup was the key to productivity, or so I thought. I was happly with the performance of the drill and have plenty of batteries to keep it going. The problem started when I lent it out to some trusted co-workers on site. They were working in an area where they would have to frequently setup over 200' electrical cords multipule times in the working shift. I lent them the drill for a few weeks, until that task was completed. When I looked for the drill afterwards, I couldn't find it. It was a large site, so when I called them inquiring about the drill, they started chuckling over the phone. They had been moved to another site and took the drill with them. So you see... on the jobsite, they just don't last! I did get the drill back no worse for wear, but that's what you have to be prepared for when you own tools other people envy.
Greetings from Ireland. That was most enjoyable Scott. Like a kid showing off his lego, ya couldn't put it better than that. I just got a few new Makpacs for some of my Makita tools and it's a lot of fun getting them sorted. Great to see how much you enjoy your work man.
Thanks Scott another great episode. I have been a Makita fan since I think 1992 when I bought their first cordless drill, which is still working today. Glad to see you are trying out the rear handle skillsaw, it is a beast and likely on the heavy side for a lot of your finish work, but for framing it rocks. I actually just bought a 2nd one so I can keep one at my sheet goods cutting station plus have one with me while I am framing. One tool I have thought you should get is the drywall screwgun. Having the depth control is awesome for much more than drywall, any time you are sinking screws into a soft material. I recently built a set of 18 shutters for a house renovation and the screwgun let me sink perfect screws into the soft cedar I was using. Keep up the great work.
I started watching your channel when I was researching which cordless line to get into for my new shop. I already had some Makita tools and liked what they offered for the price. Don't have as many as you but just a home hobbyist. I do enjoy your videos.
Thanks Nick, I add to the collection when a particular job calls for it, turns out renovations call for a lot of tools!
i love makita
Thoroughly enjoy all the stuff that you put up bro. Looking forward to the next instalmernt of SBC. Thanks for sharing :)
I love Makita. I was first introduced to them summer of 87 when I was working part time with a construction company.
I own that makita light u r holding. Absolutely love it. Bright and agile. Keep up the good work. Thx
Thanks for the shoutout Scott glad you like the box i feel so famous now but not as famous as you keep up the great vids cheers
My 185mm circular saw was my grandfather's. He was a contractor and bought it sometime in the 80s. Heavy duty use for about 20 years. I have had for the last 20 years. The saw is a work horse. Never had a problem! with it and use it often. I also have an o!d Makita grinder of his that still works great. All of their tools are awesome. Their portable table saw is exceptional as are their cordless tools.
That first router is great for my hinge jig!! Great size and power with a large base 👌🏻
Best builder channel on TH-cam hands down 🙌🏽👊🏽.
I run Dewalt 18v cordless for their power, Makita corded for the reliability and Bosch Professional 12v for compact stuff. Never had an issue with any! It's hard to find tools from main brands that are bad, and sticking to one brand can mean you miss out on great features from other companies!
Another great video mate, young plumbing apprentice out here and you got me wanting to change trades
Hey Scott,great videos and great teamwork. Your attention to detail is so good. Keep the videos coming. When you next do a pergola,can you show us how to fix the wall plate & supporting beams?
Cheers.Burle
I love to watch videos of people working it makes me proud of working in the trades
I have almost nothing but Makita as well. I started with the 18 volt Li-Ion 4 piece kit 10 years & have stuck with it ever since. I've very rarely been disappointed by Makita cordless. The 2 cases that were VERY disappointing were the very early model of the 36volt right blade 7 1/4 circ saw & the 4" 18volt cordless grinder.
i found your channel 2 days ago... i have since decided that everything in my life is wrong, i shall immediately abandon my current line of work and become a carpenter!
be careful, ear protection, knee protection, saw kickback, and the most dangerous tool ever : the one and only... LADDER
how's it going
Dеmid Hordenko I am still in my previous line of work >_>....
Whats your line of work
@@mr.rambioli9695 truck driver
Well organized van Scott ! I bought my first makita drill 40+ years ago I don't use It anymore but It still runs well, Unfortunately as the price went down on tools the quality went down as well ! Last summer I went through 2 cordless drills and I have a third one that begins to smell like the end is near ! That's why I always keep my old corded tools handy. The cordless planer is my favorite too, since I bought it I never used my old (35 years+) one ! I could fill a good part of your garage with Makita tools too ! They are my favorite.
Interesting video, I'm slowly going back to corded tools as the battery gear wears out, my sites are more static though taking a year or more usually.
Love your work.
Alan,
building up at Albany.
Great video! I'm a DeWalt 20v fan myself but I like Makitas for the price. They're definitely underrated on the worksite where I'm from, just DeWalt and Milwaukee here mostly.
Nice ,it pays to stick with one platform, I changed all my tools to Bosch about 4 years ago,not one has let me down ,I like the fact they made the cordless circular saw so it fits in the bosch or retool guide rail . I've got the 36v bosch sds, which is a real beast ,always use it for cutting in electrical boxes. Only dealt things I have is the t stack dab radio ,which is brilliant and a couple of flashlights . Apart from those ,everything is Bosch, only corded peice is the plunge saw .
I love you videos I’m getting inspired to do Carpentry my self now and working on to get some Makita tools
The new adjustable 125mm grinder looks amazing - can adjust the RPM slower for polishing, or speed up for cutting. Plus it’s brushless... that’ll be my next purchase.
Hey, mate, I noticed, you have difficulty opening and closing locks on makita systainer boxes. I use silicon spray (commonly used for car rubber sealing softening) to lubricated them. Makes them slide as silk. Take care. Great videos by the way, enjoying them.
you know painters will hate you for using silicon spray and then touching surfaces right? That stuff requires them to use special cleaners which they find out after the first layer looks horrendous
I use teflon spray, works perfectly as well.
Great video.
Love my makita gear. I have a couple yellow tools, but when I went to cordless it became evident that the battery platform was going to have to be settled on.
Many of my makita corded tools are 20+ and still going.
Recently getting into the box system led to my also kitting out my work vehicular to accommodate the sizes of the box. Brilliant.
I’m glad I saw this because using a box like this to house the smaller boxes of bits etc makes sense. I wish the boxes and nailers were more compatible but I guess unless I became a framer or roofer I suppose I will be fine. I don’t need nailers like I do drivers and drills. 😂
Whatever u buy from Makita tools , u nail it.
Makita sub compact 18 volt sawsall aka reciprocating saw is one of my all time favs thing works so great and it’s tiny n light enough u can easily use over head for hours n not be dead
Everyone has their favorite, mine is Makita, went through 3 or 4 brands when I was starting on my own 15 or so years ago, didnt care for any except Makita.
Batteries last a long time, at least 3 years of hard every day use.
I have a ridiculous amount of the cordless tools and batteries and really no complaints.
Makita nearly all the way, discovered Matablo and just as happy, but for cordless you can't beat makita
Scott start planning for episode 200 something big worth celebrating.
10-12 volters might gie you a wee surprise if you get to try them Scott 👍
Had to climb into an old ceiling, where a high ceiling had been lowered, but the old timber wall panels in the ceiling were still attached. I had to knock some of them out to put in an extraction fan, but all the reciprocating saws were too big and would've gone through the wall on the other side. Until one of the builders pulls out his little 12 volt one, and not only is it cute, but freaking handy especially in tight crawl spaces!
I work as a carpenter in sweden, i love makita 👍🏻🔨
How are things in Sweden, are you busy at work? 🔨 🇮🇪
Yes its ok, iam busy whit lot’s of work, and in Irland?
@@magnussjoberg6537 Good man, I was in Sweden last summer, beautiful place and lovely people. I love the red timber houses.
I like how your van is also in the mak pack. Those stripes 😍
I was just waiting for this video🤣🤣
Hey Scott, great video.
Review that new impact driver you got.
Cheers
The Makpac's are made by Tanos who also makes the Systainers for Festool. The T-Loc's are superior as far as ease of use, but you can file down the tabs on the old style lock tabs and use a little white lithium grease for a much smoother operation. Still a hassle dealing with 4 tabs vs. the T-Loc, but I use the old ones in my shop for storage and take the T-Locs out to the job. Nice video, thanks for sharing!
Just got myself the DDF484 drill driver, and the DTD171 impact driver, along with two 5ah batteries. Amazing upgrade from my previous "generic co-op brand" drill. Next buy will probably be a DJR188 or DJR360 recip saw.
Hey Scott
Where do you get your funky background music from? Lovin’ the episodes 🤙🏻 keep em coming bro 😎
Nice setup, I only have a few of the makita boxes so far. I love my tracksaw, I use it way more than I thought I would. Nothing I have found is better for making long rake cuts or cutting down sheet goods. For impact and drill I use the subcompacts most of the time. The sds drills are amazing for small demo and concrete anchors, I actually have a couple of them now and I will switch between them if I am working them hard to let them cool down.
One tool I noticed ya ant got which is amazballs the 5inch cordless grinder!! Its the bomb!!
Love Makita tools but they don't seem as popular around where I live. The belt sander is like an industry standard in cabinet shops! It's like the Dewalt "drop" saw
I bought the multi tool because it was fairly cheap and I wanted a new tool, I didn't realise how useful they are. I find myself reaching for it all the time. It's easily in my top 5 most used tools
So excited to see the new haircut :D
I'm suckered in with the yellow brand. All the new flexvolt stuff is absolutely superb. Cordless really is the way forwards in my opinion! ✌️
Makita tools are absolutely brilliant....so reliable
I'm the same , so much Makita which I'm loving even more now i'm over China stuff we get from some tool shops.
I'd love to get hold of that little router base, i'll have to have a look for that .
Enjoyed watching your video SBC.😎
Over here in Southern California makita does a innovation tour like every 3 months we’re they give out batteries like hotcakes. I got the 36v blower with 6 5.0 ah batteries and double charger for $350. Thanks to that tour i was able to go cordless within one year of starting construction.
I have yet to see where they do these
i Like your work and music taste aswell, keep it up 👍
Hello i have been using Makita for 15 years as a carpenter. Batteries build to last which has been great. Makita one Love from canada
My very first cordless tool was one of the legendary Makita 9.6V drills that I bought 20 some years ago. That thing was a beast. I still have it. My first cordless tools for pro-use were Makita. I bought a standard 18V drill/driver set maybe... 12 years ago? Something like that. I used them for mechanical and electrical work for years. Finally I burned out the driver by running dozens of monster tek screws through 1/4" steel (not the driver's fault, really), and I when I went to get a new set I ended up switching to Milwaukee because their range of tools was so much broader, which was important to me because I do electrical, plumbing, and all manner of stuff, and I wanted to stick to one platform. I still have that original Makita drill, though, and it still works just fine. I'm a fan of Makita, but I'm not really their target audience.
Hey Scott! Great Video. I love your uploads and follow you since a few months.
I saw the foam kind of stuff in an older video before, but now I have to ask what it is called?
I want to store my Tools like you did with your Router ;)
Only problem I've had with makita is the 6ah batteries.
I took them back 3 times and then gave up on them. Went back to the 5ah.
The problem is the contact springs, the 6ah has double the contact springs of the 5ah in the same space, they just bend/wear too easily.
Other than that, they are epic tool manufacturers. Cost/quality ratio is on point.
I love my Makita tools, only problem I have with them is people steal them, they never fail me ever. I been a Makita fan since 1989!
Theft solution: aerosol each in disgusting neons and color combinations with plastic compatible paints . Old painter I met 30 years ago said “ I make all my new equipment look odd and nasty as soon as o get them ! Makes them virtually theft proof !”
some info on your tool belt set up would be awesome, cheers.
Most of my tools are Makita. I recently purchased their cordless circular saw. I got a great deal, 200.00 US with the 5 amp hr battery. I worked with a couple of riggers and they had both the 18 volt and the 36 volt and they said they both loved the 18 volt but thought the 36 volt was a disappointment. That was enough for me. I am loving my new saw.
Great review. Thanks for keeping it simple and straight to the point. Im a makita man through and through but i own a festool plunge saw. I think its far superior to the makita but then like you say its very expensive. Subscribed
Great video Scott
Former office guy who manages renovations and the odd new build. Now i’ve also got pretty serious DIY, I just love Makita. I spend more time watching their insane new tech tools that i’ll mostly never use.
Wow, Nigel seems like the chillest dude.
New favorite channel 🤗 greetings from Indiana my man.
Thanks for all your great videos! Did you cut your own foam insert for the jigsaw box? I didn't know you could buy them like that!
Never bean disappointed by a Makita tool.
Great video. I've had a Makita impact for awhile, but recently got a saw and need a jigsaw. Cordless. Bad ass 👍
I have the Makita multitool, good for basic use but I ended up getting the Ryobi version with adjustable head, tool free blade change & squeeze trigger & found it a much superior tool to the Makita. The Ryobi is the one I grab out of the truck every time even though they sit right next to each other.
I also have the extremely expensive Makita barrel grip jigsaw & used it for 1 month. It has since been removed from the truck & sits at home meanwhile being replaced with the Ryobi version. The Makita barrel jigsaw is easily the most dangerous & garbage tool I own because of that push button system. This is one tool that NEEDS to be recalled. Can't express how much I hate it. I do love the Makita impact driver, circular saw, router, impact drill & drywall gun.so not all of their tools are crap. But I am looking for my next brand after the two previously mentioned.
Love my cordless Makita tools. They are powerful. I don't know how each one can do so much work using so little battery.
Scott Brown, "Like a kid showing his Lego off or something." Lol. So well put. There are so many good tools out there the problem is sticking to the battery and not much else. Once you get into a battery platform/brand, you kinda' need to dance with who brung ya'... I came from Makita corded stuff and then jumped to the 18v stuff --haven't been disappointed yet (actually this chit is pretty amazing) but to each his/her own. Thing I most like about Makita --I've never been able to break anything (and I'm rough on tools) including the old corded stuff that's going on decades old...
Mikita By far my favorite tool!!!! I'm addicted lol
I’m just a hobbyist at this point , but I think my wife has caught on. She’s started noticing far more Makita teal than was around before. I may have to start buying some of the Japanese models that come in different colors!
Nice tools Scott, i have pretty much the same. Just can’t go wrong with Makita.
I had alot of Milwaukee in the past but i stopt buying them as they gave me quiet a few problems.
I have never had one Makita tool that broke down on me, so every time i need a new tool...it’s Makita for me.
Greetings from the Netherlands👍🏻
Ps. yeah Festool is good, but their for the rich and posh up here😆
Yea i have their trigger button jigsaw and its fecking amazing highly recommend you change to it.
I have Makita brushless tools at work and the batteries are empty fast and they break down all the time! In my freetime i use brushless tools from Hitachi/Hikoki and they are a winner for me! They didn’t failed me after 6 years of hard labor.
Trust me, if you start offering cabinetry as a service people with want it. Built in storage solutions are very popular in the UK. There are a few big companies getting in on the action. Sharps for example.
Definitely worth adding that string to your bow. You can get pretty creative with it too 👍
i used our track saw at work today for the first time, and it was absolutely bitchin. i think i need one now.
I have a Makita circular saw that was in a flooded basement for a week. I dried it out and its worked fine ever since doing tons of work and abuse. The flood was in 2007. Having said that I love my Hitachi tools they are bullet proof and the battery circular saw is a lot lighter than the Makita and an incredible bit of kit.
I bought the newest impact of Makita it has 8 different modes on it love it
I'm a full time cabinet installer in Toronto Canada. after jumping around a bit, i ended up with the Makita platform and absolutely love it !
As for the rail saws, I went from festool to Makita, Bro, you are not missing anything. I have not noticed any difference in quality of work or functionality. Well there is 1 up on the Makita, it locks to the rail for miter cuts and the festool doesn't
Missed you bro 🤜🏽❤️
Fancy donating any of your old makita tools? XD Loving your videos from the U.K!
I would be Interested to see how you would rate the importance of having battery power for each of your tools
You should do this for all major tool brands 😁
Yep they are called sawzallz here. That is actually the trademark Milwaukee put on their original version.
I cant remember if the recip was based on the jigsaw or vise versa, but both played a large part in the early power tool days.
