Love to see the new products and inventions keep it coming

[@jameshines4147]

So I have to admit, I have done my own work for 3 years now and I learn alot of what I know from you or other experienced guys/crews. I can't say enough how cool this video was and I can't thank you enough for teaching like you do. From bidding a job to what tools to use to how you have found or another person has found to make it easier. Positive attitudes like yours make it easier for guys like me to keep pushing through the struggles of this industry. Keep the videos coming and thanks alot. JT

The dustless stuff was great! Doing jobs in offices, hospitals and other places that are afraid of a little dust will be much easier in the future!

[@DavidLebold]

Was it not just a cover attached to a shop vac?

[@lawman95b1987]

It's a lot more than that. The silica dust warnings and OSHA regulations that are coming are insane. Small contractors will have to adjust and maybe even retool.

[@saiason3904]

They aren’t afraid of dust. Your working in a hospital with people who are sick! I was in children’s hospital for cancer patients and if these kids get sick from silicon dust there immune systems are so weak and they can die. Dumbass

[@jamaljackson9870]

You did great, and I loved Mikita when I was a kid back in the 80's and grew up with the long handled screwguns, but drifted to Milwaukee when Mikita wasn't innovating, but goddamn Mikita's game is on point these days!! And I think it's pretty rad for them to hook you up, and you did a GREAT job at the convention, great tools too, electric dust sucking jack-hammer, awesome!

[@phillipsmalley7706]

Love the editing on the makita 4 stroke saw!! This machine is easy to start after 30 minutes of struggling!!

[@devin197601]

I liked the beam chainsaw on the skill saw👍🏻

[@ghostofmars83]

Excellent Video! Thumbs Up!

[@royphillips4107]

if you think a 4 stroke engine is going to delivery a high RPM power band you're in for a rude awakening

[@eatshitful]

You can make a 4 strokes power band just as high or higher then your average 2 stroke! It is a matter of the engineer doing it. Back in 1998 yamaha built a 400cc 4 stroke that rev limits at 12,000. Way more reliable then a comparable 2 stroke that only ran up to 9000 rpms! It can be done without a problem! The 2 stroke power peeked at 7500 rpms while the 4 stroke pulled right to the 12,000 rpms! I have ran this engine as much as i could at the rev limiter since 2002! Still never have touched that engine.

[@Zack-dk3pt]

rpms are not the issue as that can be solved with proper gearing. the main issue with 4 stroke is that they are heavier and require a bit more maintenance.

[@thecloneguyz]

[@jasonkraus2831]

Stan - What's your opinion of the dust control technology? I'd be worried about long term reliability of that equipment because of what looks like a lot of plastic connections. I can see that breaking after the first week in the back of a trailer, much less on the job site in hard (read: careless) use.

[@roelofvandenzel3134]

[@dattepo7534]

Jason Kraus I’m sure it’s like guards on skills saws their there and when osha decides to show up they have it ready to go so no one gets fined

[@C99631]

Those rubber boots won't last long, and the proprietary filters will cost a bomb. All good for the company's consumable revenue. Still, it meets a need and someone will soon make mods that will suit high usage applications.

[@jadenhawkins6056]

Water. Water is a good way to control dust. Cheaper than spending thousands on tools

[@marktomkalski9409]

Very cool,some of us can't get to all these places you get to,so appreciate you taking the time👍

[@jimsvideos7201]

The Makita guy running the concrete saw with no safety glasses and his pass hanging down like that is making adult decisions which could have adult consequences.

[@medicone5673]

Ha, I was thinking the same thing!

[@irondiver292]

Unbelievable

[@paulstaf]

Yeah, and I don't know why he kept raving on about how it runs upside down when the manual clearly states: - Never cut above your shoulder height (17). - Do not wear any jewellery or clothing that can get caught or distract from the operation of the Power Cutter - Work gloves (F) of tough leather are part of the required work kit of the Power Cutter and must always be worn when working with the Power Cutter.

[@irondiver292]

Shona O'Neill some people work on jobs where people are hired to make sure you work safely. Some people make serious money performing work to a level that ensures safe completion. Some customers will pay greatly for said employees. Furthermore it is entirely reasonable to question why a rep of a company at a trade show is advising use of a product in direct opposition of manufacturers instructions. The legal ramifications of doing so is beyond your comprehension evidently at this juncture in your life.

[@Mikedistizike91]

Not to mention any body comes running around that corner gonna have a good lawsuit

First video I have watched of yours but it seemed pretty good. Like this format and I'll check out more.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks Allen- Hope you like some others as well.

[@mmillect]

Tool shows and trade conventions are often interesting videos, and my vote is to see more from your channel in the future. I enjoy seeing some of the special/pro application tools like the portable road, but especially the great tweaks to existing tools which open up different realms of applications. The beam saw attachment, for example, offers itself to many applications and disciplines if one doesn't have a need for, say, the huge Makita beam cutter circular saw, portable sawmill, etc. These types of tools can spark ideas and imagination, and I enjoy hearing how they look, feel, and perform in the flesh. Thanks for the fun videos and keep 'em coming!

[@slicktype001]

Can you review the Makita Fogger and Blower combo? I’m inclined to buy given the multi purpose use. Mosquitos in my area are savages and having this Fogger with blower combo would be ideal. Only issue is the high cost.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks for the suggestion, I will keep it in mind!

[@brandonmoen6956]

Yes yes & yes. Keep showing us content like this I like the way you present it

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks Brandon!

[@rolfbjorn9937]

It's not just about regulations! Why would you want to clean up over and over all kinds of dusts if you can avoid it? Drill something in your garage or basement during renovations etc. If I do some repairs in my apartment and I have to constantly clean as I go to prevent dust accumulating... I'm no expert but I see productivity gains!

[@CarlMarx]

More time drilling, less time vacuuming

[@williamjones6088]

Great video Stan... keep them coming!

[@StefanBacon]

That's not underwater. All Japanese electronics are drip and splash resistant, but can I take my Kyocera phone underwater to take video using my Makita tools working underwater, hopefully. I love Makita but let's be honest about wet versus underwater operation

[@zaknaphion]

Makita is a great product, it is a shame the batteries are not as great

[@wooodrow99]

I’ve got Makita 18v batteries that get used daily on the job site and in my cabinet shop and are more than ten years old. Not sure what you think could be wrong with their batteries.

[@zaknaphion]

as an HVAC mechanic i am using my drills constantly as well, only difference is i am having battery failures yearly, so i don't know. you tell me. would love to believe i was a singled out case, few people i know are having to buy them every year as well.

[@asherdie]

Stefan Bacon the new brushless stuff is potted so well it can be used under water, not for long, but all day in a rain. My experience anyway.

[@Tumiification]

I lost my makita impact in the river. I pulled it out aver 24 hours later with a big magnet. battery was shot but the impact still works fine.

I frecking loved this video it took me back to when I was in a conservation/heavy equipment class. The school was called BOCES they are all over New York State. so I went to a woodsmen competition in 2015 and over 200 hundred students. I took 6th place in SkidSteer Rodeo in the state of New York also, I had first place from most of the day but lost it haha.

[@paulmcroberts2059]

Very well done. Thanks we use a lot of the tools you have shown. Open your eyes. Thanks from Canada

[@JoshuaJonah]

For a company who advertises getting kosher with OSHA they sure seem to have no problem operating kwick cuts with no eye or hearing protection.

[@Dirtmonkey]

I had on eye protection but they didn't police me. I shot this on my own without them. so it really wasn't their call.

[@JoshuaJonah]

Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek I wasn't talking about you, I was referring to the guy wearing the Makita shirt operating it. He might as well have been wearing flip flops. I'm not going to say that's wrong though. I did most of my stone patio in flipflop with a handful of beers in my belly, but I also wasn't advertising OSHA compliance while I did it lol.

That trimmer head is junk. I worked at a summer job repairing lawn equipment a couple years ago and a local golf course bought two of them. The whole head is packed with grease and within a day of use the grease had filled with dirt and burnt up. It took me 3 hours per head to take them apart and get them clean and regreased. They were back the next week for me to do it over again but this time one of the gears had stripped in both of them! I think the customer paid over $1000 each so completely not worth the money.

[@turdsandwicher]

wow $1000 just for the trimmer head? It's a neat idea that it doesn't kick up stones and such. Do you know the name of the company?

[@kyleevjen5766]

turdsandwicher It was the whole trimmer that was $1k. maruyama-us.com/product/lb30/

[@JoeBlow-24]

We used these at the golf course I worked at, they are rotary blades, used them to maintain bunkers. They have been around a long time I would imagine at this point they are falling out of favor in light of oscillating tools doing the same job but better. I'll look up this company and see whats what, perhaps they are launching a consumer line.

[@chevyon37s]

That's not under water.... that's under a dribble of water. I want to see them submerged and ran.

[@gregdumpert2525]

Do you do much underwater construction where you need to run your impact submerged?

[@chevyon37s]

Greg Dumpert personally no. But for somebody who builds boat docks and where tools might get dropped under water, a submersion test for electronics is a lot harder to pass than just being splash resistant. Most of he conformal coatings that cover the speed control boards in these tools to protect them from basic dust and corrosion is enough to be splash proof.

[@xenonram]

Drew w Being dropped in water and retrieved relatively quickly is no big deal. Having these told under a constant stream of water for 5 days is much more impressive. Conformal coatings for nothing more than to keep water of the circuit boards, it doesn't seal anything against water.
