Reaches into the Makita fridge like a boss 😎😎
Cool..I need a Makita fridge to keep my Bud in 🍺😎
“F is for F**kin’ doesn’t fit” … classic 😆
F for FAILURE.....
The new XGT line really is the coolest looking line. I love the blacked out subcompact line a lot. Who doesn't love some badass, all black power tools? But the XGT just look tough. All the subtle little details and angles and lines... Eye candy for the construction types. Oh, and they work good too. 😁
You are going to love my next Makita review then.
Speakers usually need a "burn in" before they really sound as loud as they will do... Essentially the rubber/diaphragm needs to wear in a bit and not be so firm
XD
My 18v Makita radio has great sound but doesn't get very loud. And the Bluetooth doesn't work with half the devices I have. Hopefully they fixed that problem with this one.
For anyone who sees this I just want you to know that break-in time is pretty much a myth, I say pretty much as large diameter speakers with thicker surrounds do actually perform better with some run time, that amount of time being minutes. So if anyone tries to sell you a speaker with the promise that they sound better when you break them in for a while (usually after the return period), don’t believe them, it’s not true, what happens is your ears just adjust to the frequency response.
@@grantdavid9466 that is absolutely false, anything mechanical has an amount of "break in" essentially a working tolerance. Vehicles have it, electronics have break in, speakers have break in.
The crossover has break in (capacitors) the speaker diaphragm has break in (the rubbers, coils) .
You do not know what your talking about
@@nandos1111 Bold of you to assume I don’t know what I’m talking about, when you’re saying capacitors have a “break in” period. Do you also think high end cables from the likes of Audio Quest make a difference? Also, I never said they don’t have a “break in” period, I only said it doesn’t takes any more than even a few minutes at the longest for that to occur.
I’ve been into home audio and HiFi for over a decade and it’s one of my passions in life. During that time I learned and continue to learn the science, along with what to disregard as myths and pseudoscience. Both Gene DellaSala from Audioholics, and Amir from Audio Science Review, along with their cohorts, have thoroughly debunked the myths and thoughts in relation to your audio and electronics related comment. I must add, the vehicle comparison was just plain ignorant due to its complete irrelevancy to the topic at hand. If you’d like we can get into the nitty gritty about all of it, I’d have no problem debating the topic with you.
So I guess you need the alarm for when you take a nap on the jobsite and you need to wake up before the boss finds you and gets angry
Its a "time to go home alarm"... 😂😂😂
Just started to get makita xgt And this platform are awesome.
The weird runtime difference between voltages is probably because the radio is running at 12v internally, for the higher voltage batteries it has to convert the voltage down which isn't 100% efficient
That was an Amazing piano version of that
I believe the 12v batteries run the speakers at a lower wattage. 18v runs them at their max wattage
I’d imagine that’s the case as well, astute observation! 👍💯
Makitas radios output more power with higher voltage batterys, that is why no extended runtime - you get more (audio) power
on every radio that has a usb port. you can put a cruizer thumb drive up to 32gb formatted in fat32 in it with mp3's on it.
Got one of these free with a UK promotion and was wondering why my time and presets always went off when I replaced the battery, forgot to put the AA batteries in didn’t I 😂 thanks
the makita master does it again. Great video!
Cheers
5:41 my DMR108 has some fake "big" screws for the speaker covers, the screw itself is tiny lol but the head is bigger to match the rest. And honestly I think it looks really cool!
Might as well call this channel: "Makita Man".
Actually he doesn't hesitate to call out flaws on Makita products if he sees them as that, just as on any other tool.
I'm so glad I found this channel by chance sometimes I suppose he knows and view us about the makita more than makita does in the whole world... the very very best channel of makita tools and life 🤨
I like these type of radios than the dmr115. The 115 doesn't hold batteries for time and the clock is always on 0000.
This is why makita didn't make any bigger 18v batteries. They wouldn't fit alot of their tools.
Other than radios (taller batteries) and 32V tools (wider batteries), most other tools would be fine with larger batteries. It would be really nice if Makita made a 18v battery that used 21700 cells or 3 rows of 18650 instead of 2.
@@christopherrto yea true , maybe they are going the pouch cell style instead eventually? Make more power in the same size.
@@kizzjd9578 Ya, but pouch style have other issues. Cells are more durable, better longevity, less dangerous, and won't turn into a spicy balloon.
20:50 the birds like this xgt radio a lot they started singing too)
F stands for Fat, because that battery is thicc as fook
NO...... the designer was "thicc as fook"..... 😂😂😂
Best line of the whole video: "They never give me anything." It's a good thing, (I guess) but you'd think they'd at least give you something sooner or later.
On the "Audio" channels,(Zeos for one) manufacturers have "review items" that they send to "influencesrs" (reviewers) who review and send back or have rhe option to buy at a reduced rate.....
On the "computer channels".... from graphic cards, to motherboards, thru cases and even little sticks of memory THEY ALL HAVE REVIEW ITEMS, which are sent to reviewers, who post on to other reviewers.......
MAKITA..... This guy can be trusted (as other reviewers are trusted with tens of thousands of pounds of gear (More than the value of your tools mainly)
BY GOD..... IT'S """ FREE """ ADVERTISING by a person that speaks Good english (being a native)......
I couldn't listen to a Japanese person speaking "broken or pidgeon english" and with an accent to boot..... i couldnt focus and would struggle to understand (sorry)......
MAKITA.....
TRUST THIS GUY TO SELL YOUR STUFF, HE IS A GREAT REVIEWER, AND OBVIOUSLY AN HONEST PERSON.......
It would be great if you could test the BT sound on MR007G or 006G (presumably identical) as those two have a sub underneath. Wonder how does it compare next to stuff dedicated audio equipment companies make, because, considering the dimensions of the things, the price seems quite low.
Way out there. But did you receive the New Flex Impact driver Multi-mode with quick eject. Also you got a shout out on Belts And Boxes. Pretty cool, keep it up bro. 👍🏾😎🤙🏾
Receive from where?
Every time Rob doesn't mention me I send him abusive emails 😉
You do helpful & honest review's. You have a new subscriber cuz. 🙇🏾♂️🤗
I love my 18V Makita radio but these days I use my Hikoki 18V radio the most, because it not only has AM/FM and Bluetooth, but it also has the far more superior DAB. (The Hikoki radio was a free gift with the purchase of the Hikoki 12 inch table saw). For some strange reason Makita won't combine all those features in one radio. Makita DAB radio's don't have AM and the AM radios don't have DAB. These days my Makita radio sits next to the small TV screen that I have in the Man Cave. I channel the TV audio through it to watch the NRL. It sounds much better and adds a better sounding environment. Especially each time the Wallabies defeat the All Blacks to win the Bledisloe Cup. 😁 🍺🍺🍺
Makita LXT didn't even exist the last time Australia won the Bledisloe Cup! So how old is your radio!!!
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Ohh well. My man cave beer induced hallucinations, were fun while they lasted. OK forget about the Bledisloe Cup. I'll focus on the NRL instead.
How many seconds of electronic skip protection?
Oh for f**ks sake Makita. I love you but save me the truck space and start selling a radio in the west that can charge a damn battery! 😭
Its a patent issue. Thank Bosch.
@@Albyint Hasn't stopped Ridgid, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Hilti, Craftsman, etc. Around a year ago a teal LXT charging radio was in the works but it mysteriously vanished. Likely became nerfed so the feature could be incorporated into a new XGT radio, which is a recurring theme with the LXT/XGT relationship.
@@Albyint at first I thought it was Dewalt that had the patent, but now I don't know if it's a sales license based on region. Pain in the ass either way
Would be nice with a remote
Better "full range" speakers with "rare earth magnet" technology and a small horn tweeter would be nice..... 🙂
DO THE NEW STICK VACUMN 40v V 18v. 🧐 we want to know.
100%
When I first started watching I was thinking the same thing! How will he get through testing this radio with sound and copy right b/s! haha, keep it up man. Great content!
The F stands for “fk’n doesn’t fit” 😆
It's probably bucking the 18v and 36v down to ~12v, causing losses in runtime for the higher voltage batteries. Very disappointing that they didn't extend the case by a few MM either in depth or height giving the opportunity to chuck the larger batteries in there, and does give a lot of credence to the F style labeling. Should be more prominent on the casement if this was their long term plan, or "high-output" plan otherwise.
Makitas radios output more power with higher voltage batterys, that is why no extended runtime - you get more (audio) power
Any word on the new multi tool?
Never understand why they don't build a battery charger into site radios?
They have one that does now from Makita
Dewalt radios have them.....
I know this is 2 years old but, how does this sound plugged in the outlet? Is it louder?
Does 40V 4.0Ah can close the back door? Thank you .
Yes
Nobody guessed that it would be the xgt radio
No they didn't, but this is not what was in the box... so keep guessing...
No-one... except me 😀
But I wasn't right. 😞
@@jonwhiting6528 yeap, i just will watch the next video to know it) I'm not often good at guessing:)
Good stuff
Surely some dude at Makita says” hey dudes our new batteries wront fit!
My most important questions are;
Will the stupid power cord fit above an 18v battery and have the door fully shut?
Is the Makita logo a separate piece of white plastic like the new tools, or will it scrape off to be the super brilliant teal color after a ride in the truck?
Looks just like my old dirty radio, might just have to upgrade to the newer model lol!
Yes and it will scrape off.
Can you do test Makita TV look same as radio
Any plans to review the xgt 260mm circular saw?
Yes
Does new Makita xgt 40v dmr 004 G radio has subwoofer in ?
Wich souds better,dmr004g or 115?
I guess they would have to put a crossover network in it and make the "sub" down firing..... might as well add 2 horn tweeters as well 🙂👍🏻
@#tools&stuff did you go to the makita booth at fieldays? it was packed
Yep. That's where I got the radio. Super busy.
Thats because of you channel and hard work..... 🙂
why do you keep your batteries inside the fridge?
Cool them quicker from overheating due to overuse..... its quicker then the fans..... only in there for a short time, as super cooling them reduces performance drastically....
There are plenty of no copyright songs out there . Just type NCS and you have lots of songs that will let us hear all the sound range from those speakers. The song that you played didnt have no bass and complex sounds at all
@risto9991
Demo a radio at your nearest dealer ?....
Cool radio. The bass seems less harsh and boomy than my previous Makita radio, but my new radio has arrived from Makita with POWERFAIL message when I turn it on from the battery bay circuit. Not ideal as it means I can’t store any information, like radio stations, time etc if anyone knows of a fix?
It says powerfail when the tool battery is flat or not inserted and it is just running on the 2 AA batteries to keep the time.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Nice one! That resolved my issue. Thanks
Can you group chain this with the makita xrm11 radio ?
No.
Is there anyway of running this radio reliably with a Milwaukee m18v battery? Cheers
Yes...... just plug a battery in untill it goes flat, replace flat battery with a charged battery, "rinse and repeat"......
Dont forget to also plug in 2 rechargeable AA batteries in to keep the memory active 😄
AA batt
I dont think there are "adaptors" for them, as the radio shows battery status..... you could try looking, but if you blow your radio is it really worth it?......
Lmao Makita refrigerator
Next will be Makita Smartphone on high demand. MAKE WAY IPHONE AND SAMSUNG🎉🎉🎉
Nooooooooooo but i hope it wont have all the "spyware" my samdung does.....
I want that T-shirt where do I buy
Make me an offer.
Typical Makita ! In the UK they do 3 XGT radio's
AM/FM
AM/FM & Bluetooth
AM/FM & DAB+
Where's the AM/FM & Bluetooth & DAB+ ?
I'd have liked them to have made an XGT version of the DMR115 ( think you guys get the DMR114)
MR004G does the lot, but I don't know where it is available yet.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Thanks buddy , I meant to ask about the MR004G 😂
With a bit of luck it'll be available over here soon , still like the idea of having the sub woofer and being able to adjust the base though 👍
There’s no digital radio in NZ, so makita DAB radios are not available
@@henryairconcepts2999 You're not missing much , LED ceiling lights , steel structures and weather can all effect DAB just like FM , Makita released the All in one radio last week , its a newer version of the UK's DMR115 but is bigger and takes XGT batteries
That's exactly what the F stands for
I'm flippin cheesed off with my DMR104, I've cared and cherished it for the last 5 odd years and now my favorite station has gone to DABplus. Do you know if a software upgrade can be done?
I doubt it. But the MR003G and MR004G both do DAB & DAB+ I think.
And don't tell anyone... but your last guess may have been correct... shhhh.
I may have to treat myself to a DMR115 (U.K.), DAB+, a subwoofer, and bluetooth. I can't be cheesed with Makita for long.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL The real question is if if can fit the 5.0 too. From the photos it looks like the battery is parallel to to the plate.
Uh oh! The secrets out of the bag.
And if you run it on AC it will give you infinite run time and you can save $150.00 bucks!
How ridiculous is that? You cannot fit a 5 in the battery compartment.
I guess makita considers that you won't need to use this huge exoensive battery with the radio and you should use it with circular saw or something powerful, but anyway it's surprising)
@@user-fo2vr5qz2l Should be up to the existing customer to decide whether they want to use their 5ah they paid for in the radio. More options.
I suppose everybody agrees and thinks the same way,
What exactly does Makita have against larger LXT batteries? They effectively threw their hands up and said they can't make them larger than 6.0 despite numerous competitors having much larger sizes/runtimes. They can't be THAT hard to manufacture.
@@greenskiis 6.0 is the biggest that will fit in many of their tools. Can’t cram in more Ah’s without adding a row of 18650s or moving to 21700s.
i dont forgive makita for not making teal swag, only black
Wait for the next video...
Lol fu:ting doesn't fix lol
Well done! You have won "most nonsensical comment of the day!"
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL lol
CD player and tape deck lol
"Mini Disk" version comming soon 🤣
No cd player lol
Could have had a usb 2.0 stick play feature, 32 gig capable, it does have next and previous track capabality on blutooth.....
my mobile phone is louder very disappointing
Your "mobile phone" has bigger speakers then whats in that radio?????
What brand and model number is your phone, i want one 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
