Thanks a lot, I really like your videos. Nowhere else I see so many tools and in special Makita tools analyses and also used in a real simulation way as you do it. You are helping a lot identifying for myself, what I want and don’t want. Also, seems you get most stuff around 6 month earlier than Germany, so it is like a early announcement of what we can expect here and helps perhaps to delay some decisions, until the right tool comes, before we take comprises.

[@JDAfrica]

I’ve got the small palm sander, bloody amazing thing, really works well … may need to consider the sheet sander

[@carpenter4lyfe305]

Love the channel! Love the 1/3 sheet sander! Mine came with a battery skin to slip over the battery. Have you or anyone here seen these for sale on their own? I skimmed the net but didn't have any luck. Thanks for all the content, 1 of my favorite channels by far!

[@williampepper2423]

Got this one it’s great

[@nelsoncarpentry]

Yes, a 4" belt sander please! I would be surprised if they weren't working on one. They have a cordless belt sander patent, but I think that's a 3". XGT should be good for a 4" though.

[@rudyb9543]

milwaukee and ryobi already have a cordless belt sander? why would makita have a patent ?

[@ktlmprofipainter1459]

Hello buddy ! Can you tell me please if this device it could work for the drywall corners ? What is your opinion ? Thank you ! 🙏

[@HansumRob100]

Been waiting for makita to pop this model out...

[@Jopakilo]

I would like to ask are orbital sander and finishing sander same but just on different size of job? The name of those tools sometime just confused me.

[@ProxyFinal]

I got the Bosch one simply because it was brushless. It's also 3 in 1 like this Makita.

[@mickeymo121]

Do I need to remove the Velcro from the sole if I use clips?

[@bionicbonerboy]

is it good for sanding miters

[@markmall7142]

Festool cordless sander is brushless as far as im aware

[@treebossmike8818]

Dewalt makes a brushless 1/4 sheet sander on the 20v Max XR like. I own it it’s pretty darn good

[@jackgray8547]

@Tools & Stuff , have you done a review video for the VC004GLZ1 or family? I cant seem to find one on this channel

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Will be out soon...

[@clintlubbe1232]

Not in the same price range. but Festool RTSC 400 and brothers are brushless.

[@user-cb9iy4mn3z]

Perfect for a beginner

[@dbrown2010]

Like a lot of cordless tools they really have there limitations , these Sanders are basically only good for very light work at best .I have a Carpentry and building business and a few of my guys have cordless Sanders in both Makita and Milwaukee and both are very limited in there capabilities .Cant beat the Metabo 240v 150mm orbital sander for all around sanding on site .

[@chrismullin8304]

Sometimes I feel like I should wear my safety gear when I watch! Great vids!

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Glad you like them!

[@DanielleRotin]

What do you recommend to take off paint finishes on detailed furniture pieces with lots of grooves, like a rocking chair, for example ?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Paint stripper

[@stevenmcfarlane8831]

The double sided hook and loop is a neat trick. Why have manufactures so long to do this , mental

[@aaronporter2180]

Heat gun comparison coming I see

[@tjnicholas]

Strangely this doesn’t seem to be stocked anywhere in NZ. I’m pretty sure I saw it at Mitre 10 once, but it is no longer listed.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

It's stocked at Tradie Republic. M10 is shit at stocking everything. They wouldn't stock 1/4 of the Makita gear available.

[@tjnicholas]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL ah! So it is. Thanks!

[@jamallaidley4718]

Cool

[@josephglaze3657]

Oh yeah

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍

[@michaelhodge9902]

The mechanic ant has a brushless sander you can buy on the internet.

[@TheBalcerman]

WHY BRUSHED???

[@stefanevernal1108]

I really can’t see the point of having both lxt and xgt. Tools are same size, batteries similar, but xgt more powerful, so what’s the point of expanding the lxt range? It’s confusing. I don’t expect Makita to abandon the lxt but they should consolidate in my opinion. It’s also a nightmare for shops to stock the entire range with so many similar tools with different batteries from Makita.

[@toolscientist]

If I were the king of Makita I'd focus LXT on small and specialty tools. Make a small pouch cell battery that's the same weight as a CXT battery and start releasing kits with it. Then take on Milwaukee's M12 system with one that's already got 200+ tools available.

[@stefanevernal1108]

Not familiar much with other brands as I always used Makita. But this convoluted mess of battery systems is not sustainable. I’m honestly starting to question their wisdom. I’m happy with the 40v tools I bought and find them better than the 18v I replaced but like others said I doubt whether Makita are truly into xgt long term. Might end up ad a niche afterthought. Hopefully not.

[@robertbutler8004]

For some of that shoddy work on the sanding disk, it could be that Japan is outsourcing some items and tools to China.

[@Toma675]

Dewalt make a brushless 1/4 sheet sander, model number dcw200n.

[@petrulostun737]

Mitre saw 40v and vacuum cleaner, please.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Soon...

[@bobmatthews995]

Waiting for a 40v table saw

[@toolscientist]

2x40V please!

[@bobmatthews995]

@@toolscientist more power the better

[@toolscientist]

@@bobmatthews995 ok, how about 3 seperate banks of 10x40V (30 batteries total) so we can have 3-phase power 😀

[@frogi109]

the strange pad looks like an iron, to sand out stubborn stains & iron your clothes at the same time 😂😂😂.

[@stefanevernal1108]

Seriously Makita? Sold my lxt batteries and chargers and been waiting for a decent xgt one to replace my corded one.

[@toolscientist]

Sander, osci and jigsaw are the obvious gaps in XGT right now. I'd be very surprised if we don't see them by the end of the year. They've averaged 10 XGT tools per quarter so far, so we should see at least another 10-15 XGT tools this year. There was a Q3 catalogue last year in late July, but we're not far from Q4 now.

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

@@toolscientist This. RO sander, OMT, jig...come on, Makita! For metal, I'd love to see a rivet + rivet nut gun (yes, combo head or swappable). RA die grinder, beveler, compact mag drill with auto reverse tapping chuck. I think the torque from the 40v batteries should be awesome for metal work.

[@toolscientist]

@@MadLadsAnonymous jigsaw was announced maybe a month ago. Pace of releases has slowed a bit. I might be wrong about seeing ROS and osci before year's end

[@sandgroper4980]

Yeah, nah. Won’t buy another brushed tool. If it’s not XGT won’t buy it either. @Tools&stuff any whispers from the Makita rep on XGT lawn mowers?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

They are on the way...

[@toolscientist]

Step 1: drill hole in top of sander Step 2: glue 1/4" hex bit to back of motor shaft Step 3: attach brushless impact driver Bamn! World's first brushless 1/4 sheet sander only available from Tools & Stuff. Patent pending.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

DeWalt actually make a Brushless one. I'm not sure how the impacts will go with the sanding...

[@toolscientist]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL patent denied!

[@toolsdealsautomobiles6980]

Dewalt XR quarter sheet sander is brushless👉

[@dingdong9587]

good vid but socks & flip flops? your crazy

[@norm2655]

There should be a law about wearing thongs and socks 😂😖

[@toolscientist]

In NZ the law is that you have to

[@iliasdf2595]

Wearing thongs in workshop is not good ;) great video

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

It's the law in NZ

[@jmjmservices]

Why not brushless
