Today at Screwfix Live tools fair (UK) I have asked Makita reps about when shall we expect a new batteries to become available and they said not this Year. If makita don't last then none of them last every brand use one of three cells, samsung, sony or LG. Rumours of 21700 cells being implemented.

I'd expect to see them on the JPN and AUS markets before anywhere else however. New batteries are coming, it's just a case of when. I drill and fasten concrete, drill metal etc all day.Īnd if you look up one of the coldest cities on earth, yeah, that’s where I live! I see morons lean into the tools so hard it’s a wonder they don’t implode. When I say I don’t push them, I literally mean I don’t lean hard into them and force them to overdraw or put too much pressure on the bearings.

One uses all om my use and supervisory role,I see the Makita tools breaking down more and the battery getting changed more often then Dewalt.I am Not disrespecting Makita, they are a fine company,it's merely an observation on a daily basis of long hours and hard work under tough conditions. In my world of construction aka Framing.we Push everything and Everyone to the N'th degree.I'm sure your not working in blizzards,pouring rain,ungodly heat.well,welcome to my world.Yes,I make crazy stupid money,but our tools must and do perform without problem just as my worksite does.as I said I run 2 very large framing crews side by side on the same job everyday. As you said you don't run them hard or push them.I assume you get 2/3 used and you slap a new one on. HiltiWpg.sir I am happy that your batteries do work just fine for you.
