BenD Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Lol the drill you would have seen isn't the one I'm on about my decent stuff is all locked away. I'm sure it's a 3Ah one but I'll have to get it out of the box to find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenD Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 But I'm not sure if I can justify 160 quid for something I can actually do by hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin (Mr T) Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 I've still got a Makita in my basket on FFX, just can't bring myself to go through the checkout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Car Electronics Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 If you add more bare tools, it becomes better value and more easily justified. At this time of year, the hedgetrimmer is superb https://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/Makita-Duh523Z-0088381673686-18V-Hedge-Trimmer-Bare-Unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arm Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Had Makita but found batteries poor and not well supported by Makita. Scrapped the lot after getting annoyed with their support and bought milwaukee. Better tool for the money and brill support. Team is now swapping to same . Thing is the Makita or Sealey are no good with duff batteries. In the long run a decent make is better value. I spent more on replacement Makita batteries than the original tools. Not anywhere near as good as they used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 DeWalt went through a similar phase a dozen or so years back. It seemed like every diy/makeover program on TV had yellow DeWalt tooling all over it, so they decided to capitalize, who can blame them, and launched lots of more consumer targeted models. Trouble is, all the pro stuf for the next few years seemed to suffer. They do seem to have turned things around though in recent years. Ive got some of the earlier Makita pro-sumer stuff, and it’s decent enough, but looked at more recently, and their ro stuff, and it wasn’t what it was a few years ago, from the collective experience of the guys on a couple of job sites that I asked. Milwaukee isn’t as well known a brand over here yet, but seems well respected in the US, and definitely seems to be making good inroads over here, now.
