Makita probably saw this coming, unlike me who didnt saw the piglet story coming ^^
Came for the test, stayed for the story
Thanks for both
The 40v stuff is too expensive for the marginal increase in power. $1000 for a drill/driver combo kit is absurd.
i do have to say the 40v tools are well and truly worth it. i dropped my impact driver the other day and it feel 4 stories and landed in an elevator sharft that was filled with about 5 meters of water had the thing drained and the impact sat there for about 4 and a half hours and guess what she is still working a treat.
The water stopped the impact
Bloody hell I enjoyed that story. I recon it was definitely the highlight of the video, and what a helpful video it was, answered many questions!
Jeez you were quick
I wasn't expecting an Elmer Phudd story.
That snap~click was satisfying.
Thank you for nice reviews
I'm more interested to see if the 40v battery will work on an 18v tool with the right amenities.
this.
The low voltage cutoff is going to be around 25-30 volts, so an 18(20v) will never run the tool. A 40v would likely work on an 18v but it would fry the tool in 5 seconds
th-cam.com/video/ManiRtxHI4w/w-d-xo.html
Most people already know that...... But for those who don't.......
Or just want to burn up tools.
With brushless tech being what it is, I bet it would work but over heat really fast.
@@inoahmann7542 the electronics would probably burn up though
Was going to say the same thing, it will be the battery cut off protector not allowing it to work. Maybe one of those 2x 18v adapter to 36 would do the trick, need the Chinese to make one as imagine the makita ones would not fit the 40v tool?
Makita doesn't officially support the adapter on their 40v 2 port charger according to the specs currently available, but will it work?
I like the story bro. Next episode. 🙏🏾👍🏾🔔🤙🏾
I'm more curious if you can run an 18v tool off of the 40v battery with the adapter. If I had a mix of 18/40v and 18v batteries wear out, can I use the 40v going forward?
(I already have a hypothesis but would like to see)
this
You could definitively fit a beefy DC/DC converter inside that huge adapter. But only for drills/low power tools, like max 20A.
Yeah you can replace the buck controller (voltage step down) inside the adaptor with an independently sourced 3rd party boost converter. And connect the inputs - output terminals the other way around. However for a high current application the converter will generate a lot of heat, and require a large heatsink. Plus all the other components will probably make the size and shape just too big to fit inside of the adaptor. Perhaps a more simple solution is to instead take an old or broken 18v x2 tool. And then saw off it's pair of battery cages. Then build a new custom adapter from the remains. To take two 18v batteries instead.
While more power is always better, but the size of the battery is a no go for me. I hope one day someone can make a powerful and long-lasting small battery
You could always get the 40v 2.5ah battery. It is roughly the same size and weight as an 18v 5ah LXT battery with the same capacity. The 40v 2.5 still get better run time than the 18v 5.0 as the tools are more efficient
What’s wrong with it it’s so light and easy are you that much of a pussy you can’t lift anything heavier than a kg. Anyone complaining about a battery size really shouldn’t be doing anything other than an office job. Iv used this and the 40v grinder with the 4 amp hour battery 10 hours a day for two weeks at a time during duct work maintenance. Grow up
cpt awesome all good dude whatever suits you. Don’t hate on something you don’t have dude both are great🙏
40V Makita Batterys are comparable to Milwaukee M18 High Outputs..
For 40V they are more than compact
@@Gh0ztR3con So why do people buy these wimpy 12 Volt tools? Not everybody out there builds battleships all the time ;-)
Can you test the new Makita cordless mixer? Been using makitas mixers for years never died on me but now they have a cordless and im very tempted but want you to try first.
I want it in reverse: XGT battery in 18volt tool. Would really push people onto ZGT if they knew they could use them in LXT via an adaptor
I needed a new circular saw. There was new listing for a 40v one. Decided to see what it is and now can't stop thinking about a piglet. :D Guess this is what Saturdays are kinda for. :D
single to double 18v adapter to make it 36v??
What about hikoki multi volt battery in an xgt tool or vice versa?
maybe try combining it with the BCV03 adapter so that the voltages would be the same? I'm guessing you'd need to bypass the circuitry so that the power flows in that direction.
Thank you for the video!
Where do you buy the tool lanyard/wrist strap/black strap that are on the back of the impact drivers? I can’t find anything that looks like that to buy. What do you call them?
Thank You!
They come with them when you buy tools from Japan.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Thank you! I thought I was going crazy because I couldn’t find them at any tool store or online!
I appreciate it👍🏻👍🏻
is there an adapter that converts ac from the wall to dc. basically making the 40v into a corded?
No
I only just got a new 18v dual charger.. I really don’t want to get another charger for 40v battery.. ..
i think that if you connect the 40v battery to the 18v tool the fuse is going to blow up (the makita tools if you open the up there is in the handle an automotive fuse and you can replace it)
I know about the fuses. I have done 2 videos about them in the last year. Make sure you watch this follow up video too th-cam.com/video/ManiRtxHI4w/w-d-xo.html
Where did you get the nice purple housing?? Do they have it in more difrent color's?
You can get them in black and red also. Check for the link in the description of my review of this impact driver.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL thanks!!
Россия смотрит! Продолжай в том же духе! Жду продолжение перевода с 40 на 18 вольт! А также интересно посмотреть как поведёт себя инструмент на 18 вольт с батареями на 40 вольт;))
Спасибо за просмотр. Из Новой Зеландии.
а переход с 2 х 18 подойдёт? Makita BCV02
We’re do you get the purple impact driver? Very entertaining , keep it up.

Here is the new purple TD172D ebay.us/pBl79u Only 1 left, grab it quick!
Does 40 v last longer though!?!?!???
maybe it has a sense diode? or ... maybe it's a trick like the 18v makita?

I love LOTR but imagine a movie with Bob chasing the pig with a 70 tons digger... Came for the tools review, stayed for the pig.
New series"Tales from the darkside"!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Too funny. As always I admire your enthusiasm but there was no way an 18V batt was going to work. The 40V tool is looking for at least 30 something volts to run or it trips the low voltage cutt-off. Now if you rigged up two 18V batt's in series (36V nominal) and then plugged 'em in to the 40V tool --I suspect that would work. A bit cumbersome to use but would prolly work. Lol Loved the pig story all the same. Cheers!
Apart from the specific electronics in the charger adapter causing this to fail and possibly the voltage being too low, wasn’t one of the main features of the XGT platform that the tool and battery have two way communication? I wouldn’t be surprised if the tool anyway won’t function unless it is able to communicate. I guess you could test that by hooking up some 40V power supply to an XGT tool and see if it runs.

May as well go back to the old NiCD /MH batteries, look at the size of those bloody things.
Thanks for the video bud!
There is a 2.5 Ah version that is the same size/weight (and capacity) as a regular 18v 5 Ah batterie.
Is this original purple color of tool and from which country? I like it!
Have a look at the description of this video th-cam.com/video/jJw7I8K8QBU/w-d-xo.html It has links to the coloured ones
They are from Japan.
I know, but I think that this color is made for some country, for example Makita Brasil... Thanks!
No, they are made for Japan, as I said.
I watch it from russia :) its really interesting about 40v tools
th-cam.com/video/ManiRtxHI4w/w-d-xo.html
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL thank a lot! Interesting
Are the 18v tools ending because my local store isn't restocking any of them and says they are discontinued.
No the 18v is not ending. They are still making new ones and will be for a long time yet.
Lol, Makita has like 250 different tools in the 18V lineup. Prolly your local store is ending.
Why can't you make an adapter that takes 2 lxt batteries puts them in series and makes it 1 xgt end to put it in the tool
Why would you bother? Why not buy the 18v x 2 tools?
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL I wanna switch over to the xgt tools but I want it to be a gradual switch I have about 15 lxt batteries varying ah I would like to start with a tool I need here and there the xgt platform is better because the 4ah batteries have 21700 cells and can handle higher work demands and they have the 80 volt tools as well so I wanna basically slowly switch and I don't wanna have to buy a bunch of batteries off the start and would like to use my lxt batteries
Is the adapter GF30%?
No. It's plain polycarbonate with ABS ad-ons.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL chur, gotta love makita anyone else would have just used Abs I'm sure. Thanks for the awesome content man!

Nice try Greetings from Christchurch
Bob the builder.
Hacksaw? Use multitool
The 40V charger cannot handle 18V battery charging. The adapter is actually a 18V battery charger which take 40V as power source only. The 18V charging circuit is embedded in the adapter. So the current path is ：40V charger --> adapter --> 18V battery. The 18V battery cannot provide current in the reverse way through the adapter to the tool.
Yes I am aware... but I make TH-cam videos.
Haha... probably just thinks its a dead battery... hilarious pig story... :) hopefully the little guy survived and didn't get back into the road... but i have to ask, where is that priceless footage of you running around chasing the piglet? :) you need a dashcam!!! :)
I hope the hot tub works out for ya, but most of all, I wish you and all your family a safe lockdown... hang in there man... vaccines are coming... :)
Old user better just stay with the 18 line up. Unless for someone just start inviting into tools
Nice try. Hope dies last. XGT batteries are heavy, large and expensive. 2.5ah has 18650 cells and 4ah has 21700 cells. I don't understand why Makita did not create high-current batteries for existing devices, or at least an adapter.
So disappointed in Makita going with a completely different battery line. Might as well just start switching my tools over to Dewalt to be able to use the flex line.
Blame Milwaukee. They have a patent on 18v tool batteries so every company has to pay Milwaukee for their own batteries. That is why you are starting to see other tool companies changing to different voltages so they can keep evolving without the restrictions Milwaukee have imposed on the industry.
Wow, I didn't know that. Appreciate the info bro. Lol 🤗
Just a little bit clunky
The real question: Can you use BT005 to fit XGT to LXT tools? :D
No
Why would something that needs 40 work with 18v...
i don't see the point of the batteries. pig story ok tho.
Instead of Makita taking some pointers from dewalt flexvolt line , they went and created a whole other line that’s incompatible with their 18v , how dumb
100% agree. I'm just a home hobbyist. A 18v is more than enough way more than I needed.
Sounds ? Noisy ' s ! But , I say; waste time's
man you talk alot. we are here for information watching your channel not your life story. please dont be offended. i am just stating why do i veiw your channel.
Maybe you don't understand what this channel is about.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL i have seen a lot of your vedio about makita 40v equipment. You seem to be the pioneer in your tube talking about them. That’s why I found you. I watch your vedio because of trying to know everything about their 40v equipment. They seem pretty informative vedio.
I wish you take it as friendly advice from a stranger because your video could have lots of views with some adjustments. I have watched a lot of products reviews in TH-cam.
Again pls don’t be offended in any way. Ignore my advice if you are happy the way you do your video.
Thanks for your informative videos. 👋
Can we stay with what we are here to see and leave off the pig stories not the proper time to tell it
Excuse me mate, your rules are not TH-cams rules. And you've clearly not understood the purpose of this video.
