The REAL Reasons I Switched to Makita CX205RB 18V Sub Compact Combo Kit
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2023
- It's about time I switched to a new drill/impact driver combo. The newest Makita sub compact CX205RB 18V combo kit was the clear choice for me for many reasons. I couldn't mow happier now.
Makita CX205RB 18V LXT Combo kit: amzn.to/3Lmth5Z
Makita XWT16Z 18V LXT 3/8 Impact wrench: amzn.to/3H8gC3T
Makita 2.0Ah LXT battery: amzn.to/3Akn9F7
The tools I like and use most often:
Magnetic spark plug socket set: amzn.to/3CzmpvO
Tachometer: amzn.to/3sHibiH
Vessel Megadora JIS screwdriver set: amzn.to/363RFqO
Channellock Bent Needle-nose pliers: amzn.to/3I5DbnA
Long 1/4 Quick-connect Torx Driver Bits: amzn.to/3HUNgnm
Spark Tester: amzn.to/3CxW2qi
OTC Leak-down Test Kit: amzn.to/3CyUhJn
Compression Tester: amzn.to/3IWd6sp
Wear your safety glasses, or you'll shoot your eye out. Try on some gloves. Take off that spark plug boot. Clean your room. Open the windows, those fumes are nasty. Just 'cause I do it, don't think it's the end all, be all solution. There's plenty more ideas out there, I can't take responsibility if you slice off a few fingers after watching my videos. And don't just pour that toxic stuff down the sewer or in the ditch, dispose of waste responsibly. Just be safe, OK?

Great idea to get new tools for your help with mower repair
I agree, I've been babying those old batteries for a few years. Thanks for watching!
@@TheLawnmowerLady your welcome young lady 💐🌹
I just got these as a gift! Thank you for an awesome review and for helping me out! God bless and Merry Christmas!
Glad I could help! Happy Holidays. Cheers!
Great new too0ls. Enjoy them for years to come!
Thanks Bob. Cheers!
Thank you for demonstrating how it could actually drill through that concrete block. Amazing little drill.
You are welcome! Concrete block is pretty forgiving, but solid poured concrete might be a challenge. I do have a honking huge Bosch SDS if I really needed, but this little Makita will be fine for around the house chores. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Nice bits of kit Stella,i think you will be happy with them, am happy with the ones i have and i have had them 5 years now
Cheers Nev! I hope to get many years from this kit. Thanks for watching.
Congrats on the new tools. I too am a Makita fan. I have the 12 volt CXT subcompact set. It has a 3/8 drill, impact driver, and 3/8 impact wrench. Great set of tools. Light, small, not too powerful. Makita has a nice impact rated bit set with magnetic bit holders in the case. These tools should serve you well.
Cheers Mr Paul ! I hope they last many years. Thanks for watching.
Nice set of tools 😊
Yeah, the Beer opener😀😀😀
Cheers Mr Rick!
definitely worth a look! thank you for sharing
Thanks!
Great review stella!
Cheers Tom! I appreciate you watching.
thank you for this video. I honestly thought I got a used makita for the reason you described! I feel better
I thought the same until I did some research. I'm still very happy with my purchase. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
I ended up getting the same combo for small engine work as well. Loved Mikita ever since I used their impact driver so I had to get my own..
I suggest getting a cordless drill holder, actually very nice compared to what the reviews had said.
Our Mikita set at work is 10 years old and have seen many Dewalt and Milwaukee products come and go.. I hope those serve you well!
I think these will be good for a long time. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
😊👍 they look nice stella, good quality
Cheers Morten! I appreciate you watching.
🤣🤣 Yeah, you could've done that better, but hey...you got the bottle open didn't ya!!! 🤣 And say, Stella, if you're not gonna use the bag, mail it to me, will ya. My Ryobi Purse is getting old! LOL Maybe I should make a jacket with all my Ryobi tool bags. I'm just kidding. Seriously though, I enjoyed the video. Thank you!!
😂 send me your address. My email is on my about page. Thanks for watching!
Nice video Stella - I have Makita also all over the range - I´m a total Makita-nerd :) Nice stuff there - you will be very happy with them! Cheers!
Cheers Anders! I've had Makita tools in the past, and have been very happy with them. Thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks!
I just wanted to mention that Makita carries two of these 2 piece Sub Compact (Black) kits and the one that you have is the better of the two.
I don't think that you mentioned it but the kit that you got is the one with the Hammer Drill Driver! The other kit (CX203SYB) has the very same Impact Driver (XDT18ZB) but your kit (CX205RB) comes with the ( XPH15ZB ) 1/2'' Hammer Driver-Drill and the other kit comes with the (XFD15ZB) 1/2" Driver Drill.
I appreciate you watching. Indeed I chose this kit for the hammer function. I have a Bosch SDS rotary hammer, but that’s overkill for around the house tasks. Cheers!
Happy Mother Day to You 😊
Have you checked out the new style Honda GX 630 coil yet
I’m trying to figure it out on my small screen phone and can’t read it
Thanks 😊. I have not dealt with that yet, thanks for watching.
Well done Stella
I appreciate that Mr Hank!
Very nice Stella
Cheers Mr Gary! I think I'll get good use of these tools.
Excellent
I appreciate you watching. Cheers!
Nice video I got a question the impact driver does it work good in cement for screws
I honestly don’t know. If they were self tapping type screws, maybe? That impact driver is making rotational blows, rather than hammering. You could always go for an impact wrench? Thanks for watching.
@@TheLawnmowerLadyyou welcome
Great job stella no more slapping the battery lol
I know, right? I’d still probably be using those old too for another 9 years if hadn’t abused the batteries 😬
Makita are good bits of kit. I like sub compact tools too
Yep! They allow for tight spaces, and feel better in my small hands. Cheers!
You should look into the Milwaukee M12 line. They make some VERY lightweight compact tools and they have so much power. The M12 impact driver weighs 2 pounds with a battery! Makita is great though! I have an 18v 6 tool Makita kit and I love it so much. But this new 12v stuff is getting so powerful it’s unreal
I did look at that, and agree about their lightweight power. But I saw concerns for the durability of the plastic housing breaking on some batteries. With my track record of basically ruining the battery casings of those PorterCable tools, I decided go with the 18v. Thanks for watching!
👍👍👍Thanks.
the drill driver is even more compact and the clutch on the hammer drill usually craps out due to that hammer option. If you have to drill into concrete, i guess it will be useful 😁
you got a super deal on the set
Thanks! I honestly don't plan to do much hammering with that drill. But... it's there if I need it. I appreciate you watching. Cheers!
@@TheLawnmowerLady makita is a great brand, if you want a pleasure in using your tools. Makita is where it's at. Great video
Hi Stella,
I would recommend taking the belt hooks off. I have them on my Dewalt tools and can’t tell you how many times they’ve caught on my clothes at really inopportune times. I’ve been planning to remove them. My two cents!
I’m sort of finding the same thing. Thanks fir watching!
I've been watching TH-cam small engine videos at the rate of 120 hours per month for two years and have yet to see anyone actually use a belt hook. I'm sure in other occupations they may have a use, but not in this one.
Yep, I'll probably take them off when I get into the habit of setting them on the work bench upright.
@@TheLawnmowerLady
I took all mine off today! How liberating! 😉
Very nice set Stella, looks like you'll get plenty of use with them.
I'd say be sure to maintain your batteries but you may already be an expert at that. (just Kidding) 🤣😲
The old ones lasted 9 years, so I guess my rotation method works? Cheers Mr John!
LoL!!! I would say so 🤣👍🏼
Thanks Stella
Underated Channel! Entertainment, no loud techno music , just Quality Content!
Like it a LOT
I truly appreciate you watching. Cheers!
I got one on lay away how is it working so far
I've had no regrets about buying this. Hope you like yours. Thanks for watching!
Haha you really were heavy handed with battery installation 🤣🤣
I was brutal. I admit that! LOL
Good videos question what is the size of your shed. Looking for ideas.
It's a whopping 12ft x 12ft. That was the largest I could build without a permit. I sometimes wish it was larger, but then it would be a big messy shop, rather than a tiny messy shop 😂
@@TheLawnmowerLady thank you
@@TheLawnmowerLady Permits are a racket. Nice tools there lady! Enjoy them.
@@jimbrewer2893 No doubt. Cheers!
..hahaha..Good bonus . Thanks a lot !
👍
Just in case your retired impact driver is looking for a new home, my budget won’t allow me to purchase a new one. I can give it (and the rest of the set) all the love, praise and affection it so rightly deserves in semi-retirement. 🔧👍
Unfortunately, they already have a new home. Thanks for watching!
@@TheLawnmowerLady D'oh! :)
Great tools Stella. Once you get to know you impact - you'll be able to do assembly as well with out stripping bolts.
Thanks Claus. I actually do that when no one is looking. 😁 But for the videos, I don't want to encourage folks to strip out their heads. Cheers!
With a hard slap like that Stella i gotta call Dana White to open a ladies division of Power Slap. Used Makita in my younger days then switched to Rigid with the everything covered including batteries with the lifetime warranty and now Milwaukee since Jake has the cash and he pays LOL! Well done Stella very good review, if any representatives of Makita read this review you should send Stella some Makita merchandise or new tools you have coming out. By the way i think the Makita bag looks better than a Gucci.
LOL Mr Wayne! I didn't know about the Rigid lifetime warranty. Do they still do that? Thanks for watching!
@@TheLawnmowerLady Not sure bought mine during their 50th anniversary sale and have had the batteries replaced once so far but had to re register these batteries to carry on with the lifetime warranty
Ridgid lifetime warranty.i love my ridgid tools
Someone else mentioned that. I didn't know they still did that. Thanks for watching.
I also have those PC 12V tools; $99 on sale at the time.. Evidently they didn't sell well, however, & Stanley B&D discontinued them many years ago. Still, mine are working fine after 9 years on the orig. batteries! I like the 12 volt impacts for certain small engine work because there is much less chance of stripping if the trigger gets away from you But 18V tools are a necessity too & looks like you made a great purchase.
I'd probably still be using them if I had not been slamming the batteries home. No doubt the battery rotation extended the life too. Thanks for watching!
