What a great video to wake up to. Absolutely love Makita, especially their xgt line. The charging stations seem great for storage too. Just wish I could attach them to my packouts 😂 I do really like the new Makita boxes, but I’ll stick with my Packouts with drawers. But still, pretty cool 😎 Love the framing nailer and the COFFEE ☕️ MAKER! C’MON!! I will say this about the event. I really like the tool reps a lot more than all the corporate cutouts in their early 20’s fresh out of college. That gets a little annoying after a bit. Good job Makita 👍👍 A strong two thumbs up for that alone. Great job Vince. Thanks for the content.
The tool I'm most excited for is the impact driver. The ring light is so amazing and I always change the speed setting with my hand on my XDT16, that won't be a problem with the controls on the rear. I'm going to get the XDT20 the day it is released, on preorder. Three or four huge quality of life improvements, smaller, better AVT, better light, and better control ergonomics.
Great job Vince!! Love the new MakTrak System, it’s nice to see Makita open their doors to Social Media they are very guarded and don’t normally do large social media events. You should’ve checked out the Oil Impulse Impact Driver still one of my faves after all these years.
surprised makita had an event like this good to see hopefully they start investing more in the north american market them and bosch have so many great tools that we cant get here
The tool box system certainly is different, but in a bad way. I think it would've been much smarter for Makita to just do a full drawer tool box system and go from there. Have a three box all drawer system with detachable dolly where you can put any box on the bottom similar to Rigid 2.0 and I think you'd have a system that people might actually think its worth the trouble to switch to.
@@skolsaw1080 some would, they do look good on video but I’ve got a a lot invested in Milwaukee Packout already. Makes it difficult to switch, also there may be limited availability in the USA
YES! Now that might work. It would have to be a hefty discount tho, My TEAL tools sure fit those RED boxes great. Plus I have RED boxes that Makita doesnt even offer. Its a saturated market with a lot of happy people. Better revise the price scale. They need to realize the American sales is rough with all the Bidenomics hard at work.
Most people don't know that Makita has been "made in USA" for a long time. The main assembly plant is just outside of Atlanta Georgia. I always wondered why they didn't advertise that fact.
I like it. I am an all packout guy. But there are so many strengths to each platform be it Flex, Modbox, or Toughbuilt. This seems like they took inspiration from the packout “coffin” box and went from there. I do love the charger insert pockets that is a nice touch. I think there will be huge room in the aftermarket for any system that can allow putting one system on top of another. I think as far as bit storage goes I think Klein Knect is a real winner.
Im makita and spent over $2500 in milwaukee packouts. Before they made the drawers ive sold most of them off to most coworkers i have 2 rollys 1 xl 1 medium 1 small. Going to sell them off. I want the makita!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just to roll out most used tools so ill just have 1 makita rolly box
Vince seems like a great guy. Thanks for the video, always loved makita but I'm all about my Milwaukee m12/m18 power tools and tstak/versastack and tradestack boxes! I invested in tradestack after watching you run their boxes over and throw them off the roof and they survived😂😂. It's been over a year leaving them outside and they are still kicking ass
I love makita, all my tools are makita but those boxes look very cumbersome, even the makita rep was struggling to click the boxes together, they didn't seem smooth at all.. the tough built system is just so easy to latch together imo.
That wasn’t very thought out to put the boxes sideways like that because soon as you pick up the handle, all your tools are gonna smash down to the bottom
@@wildcard3942 I got the large rolling packout and it ain't to much of an issue. I stack my other boxes on it similar to the makita. I do have foam and DIY dividers in all my boxes though. My old Stanley rolling did have that issue.
One issue I see compared to the competition is the way the units attach to each other. In every review I’ve seen over the last couple days people and even the makita spokes person have trouble aligning boxes before clipping in. Where others in the competition like stack pack or tough built have self aligning and look much quicker to attach and remove. Makita might have gone with this attachment system because it has other trade offs like a stronger connection in lieu of ease of use but at first glance seems a little dated.
Makita, what is the country of,origin of the Vacuum as your are promoting made in the USA. Time to ask the hard questions Americans not,the softballs like the IS media
I was all about the ridgid 2.0 until home dildo jacked up and doubled the prices over night on all of em. Done with that greedy s-hole dump. That CEO is the worst of the worst. Go Makita, tools for the educated working man!
@@VCGConstruction ...and also if it will get an XGT counterpart... the TD002GZ in Europe has been out for quite some time now, needs updating like the T173/XDT20...
The takeaway seems to be how exhausting it must be to be a content creator, but prob even more so these brands having to deal with every content creator all day lol.
Needs drawers why do these company’s not want to make a bottom rolling box with a drawer. I don’t get it. It would sell 10x better than the other boxes
Jesus. Enough with the pack out style systems. No ones switching to any of these newer ones. Every company comes out with all of these with ads comparing this 2024 product line to a product line from 2017-2018. YOU BETTER have more advanced ideas lol cmon now. Tool companies would advertise a 2024 Car vs a 2018 car lol
Why would anyone invest in that toolbox system? It lacks drawers, and each time you need to take it out or load it back into your truck, it will likely strain your back. While ToughBuilt may have delayed their release date to May 2025, they seem to be more attuned to the needs and wants of their customers, offering practical features like their Advanced Trasnsporter. The hope now is that they follow through and deliver on their promises.
Read closer. American made WITH parts made elsewhere. Sorry boys, to late to the game. Your initial offereiing is limited, and not really competivly priced. I told a Makita rep 2 yrs ago they needed a better system, even he admited they messed up. You better rethink your prices. I want to see some torture tests. REAL WORLD compairson between yours and some of the other boxes. My RED boxes has held up very well over the past 2 years. They have been dropped, dragged, in excessive heat, bitter cold and my tools have be protected well. One question, WHY use BLACK lids? They absorb heat in the summer. Not everyone works in enclosed or shady places. Ive painted all my lids white. Makes life much better.

1:06:39 that ring light is awesome and moving the controls to the back like that is even better. So cool.
Makita got the last laugh. Amazing. Smart. Can't wait to buy it. It will be pricey but well worth it.
I'm new to these tool box systems. What makes them better than others out there?

Awesome video Vince! Looks like the “fenders” are very tight tolerance to the wheels. I could see masking tape or debris jamming up in there possibly

Maybe Makita will offer a”Trade In” for those of us that have all Makita Cordless Tools but are isung the “red boxes”!
@@andersonnettleship845 That would be very interesting. I wonder how many of us would change from red to teal if challenged to do so 😆

Milwaukee will do it if youre a contractor that switches teams. Rep told me theyd buy all my makita stuff and donate it to charity. 😀
I love Makita

Yeah that’s assembly. I’d bet not a damn thing is made there except poor wages

Packout still on top I like my Packout company, small, don't have to bend over to roll it
Makita , much nicest brand than Milwaukee !!!
Not even a comparison in terms of confort and precision, and huge wideness of the range !
Im makita and spent over $2500 in milwaukee packouts. Before they made the drawers ive sold most of them off to most coworkers i have 2 rollys 1 xl 1 medium 1 small. Going to sell them off.
I want the makita!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just to roll out most used tools so ill just have 1 makita rolly box
Vince seems like a great guy. Thanks for the video, always loved makita but I'm all about my Milwaukee m12/m18 power tools and tstak/versastack and tradestack boxes!
I invested in tradestack after watching you run their boxes over and throw them off the roof and they survived😂😂. It's been over a year leaving them outside and they are still kicking ass
Side note the Tradestack boxes are also made(or assembled) in the USA!
cant wait for that xd20 when can I buy one?
When will the framing nail gun be released?
December/January

Being coachable is excellent advice.
*_Thanks!_*
Good move for Makita. And thank you 🇺🇲👍
Appreciate you my friend! 🙏
WHERE ARE THE DRAWERS!?!?!?!?! MAKITA ARE FOOLS FOR NOT BRINGING OUT DRAWERS
@@nathanc3189 I’m sure they will be available within a year, this is just the initial release.
@@andersonnettleship845 missed opportunity not bringing drawers out at launch, they could of really hit it out of the park if they had of.
Agreed
If Makita makes a longer bottom rolling box they may cross over into selling to hunters and so on for transport and storage.
Makitaaaaa, how about some improvement in the 18v batts.
Would be nice to see Richard from Carpentry TV there
I agree…
He too busy building a masterpiece for someone.
Thanks to Festool, now everyone has stackable storage system.
Thanks vince i feel like im there!!!
Will MakTrak be compatible with Makita’s systainer boxes I would assume no but perhaps they will make an adapter
Finally makita!
Too late I’ve wanted this a year ago now I’m full milwaukee

The xdt20 impact isn’t even on the website yet
Did nobody think about a top handle?
Looks similar to Klein's interlocking system, on their boxes.
My concern is with the vacuum and how it is with the old stacking system
Makita, what is the country of,origin of the Vacuum as your are promoting made in the USA. Time to ask the hard questions Americans not,the softballs like the IS media
Love it. A pack out that saves your back
@gavensdailytoolsandjobs fight it out lol
Made in USA or assembled in USA, because those are two completely different things
WITH FOREIGN PARTS. SAME BS DEWALT DOES. I noticed that as well.
MADE IN USA. All plastic made here. Only global part are latches and small parts.
Seems to me that the handle being on the ground you’re gonna have to lift and carry the weight compared to the other boxes.
A little too late, no!?
We are already married to all the other brands, who the hell wants another wife!? 😂
They'll gang up on ya!
Before you know it, it'll be half the smoochin' & double the hen-peckin'!

7-8 years late with the mod boxes.

Milwaukee who? FLEX who? Dewalt who? 😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
What problems does the packout system have? This Makita thing is quiet nice but surely not better than packout.
