Imagine how much worse the texas chainsaw massacre woulda been if he had an extra 5.5ft of reach

[@brooklynmurrau7926]

And the stealth of not have a petrol engine running all the time 😂

[@JLJ7802]

I've got the older version of the chainsaw attachment for my 18x2 powerhead. After 3 seasons of hard use it's never let me down. Performance wise, it's honestly one of the most impressive makita tools I own. However, just like this one. It pisses bar oil everywhere.

[@philgardener7018]

I have both the 36v and 40v. the 40v is far more powerful. Thanks for your reviews. It helped me make the decision to switch to 40v

[@riba2233]

wow that 40V models just blasts it!

[@UnacceptableViews]

I had to make a hard decision over the weekend. bought one of these power head kits that came with the brushcutter, polesaw and pole hedger as well as extension for a very good price. i knew in my heart the 40v would be better but we have so many 18v batteries i decided to go for the 18x2. bought it to replace our AEG 58v system that sucks lol..

[@zman8340]

The 36 is plenty powerful

[@luckyal_syd]

I have the 2x18V with this power head. Definitely agree with the oil issues. Kept it tilted 45 degrees towards the oil tank and it still leaked oil.

[@ginjiaus]

Years working with the Stihl polesaws and they all leak bar oil like a sieve, just a natural feature of all polesaws it seems

[@FuryVoxx77]

If you store the Pole saw with the blade up the oil won't leak out... 👍😁✌

[@Ist_Geheim]

Thank you!

[@joelwestlin]

Would really appreciate to see the XGT against the M18. I have seen that you made videos of both but would love to see them head to head since I am about to choose platform. Cheers!

[@stuartfreeborn1986]

Great review as always.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@RegisG.]

5:16 Impressive… and for only 1000W 😵‍💫The UA004G 1500W Pole Saw must be monstrous. If the offer to test it presents itself to you, I will see the duel: UX01G + LE400MP + EY403MP vs UA004G More generally, as far as possible, I would like a comparison of the Multi-Function Power Head with the dedicated tool 😍

[@shond3042]

Hello and thanks for all makita videos, please could you tell if the xgt will perform still better than 36v also with a 2,5Ah battery? This will make it very light! Thank you

[@benhadden7038]

Can’t wait for the hedge trimming extension test…. 18v Vs 36v

[@kevinansell9341]

Wondered if you can use 2 Extension Poles ?

[@samday6621]

As a Landscape gardener, I need to store tools in my ute/trailer. Not having a valve for the oil would be a problem and would be a consideration when comparing brands for a purchase.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Well I can tell you the Milwaukee pisses oil everywhere. My petrol Makita pole saw doesn't leak oil.

[@samday6621]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL 🙌🏼 Milwaukee would be a step too far.😄 But I’d compare with Stihl. This is the problem with battery tools. You become invested in a brand to share batteries, rather than have the best tool for you (regardless of brand) and several battery shapes/chargers + cost. I wonder how this has effected take up of people swapping from fuel/corded and brand loyalty.

[@pete_lind]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Does this pole saw , EY403 i assume , not have an oil amount adjuster ? The older EY401 does have that .

How would they go taking down the tops of large Palm Trees say 20' tall would they clog up or not .any help would be appreciated.. Living in the Tropics of Australia.

[@milesdust3465]

A very stupid question but here we go: their electric pruner (secateur) is 36v. Is it possible to convert that to the 40v system? I have to know before I spend a lot of money. Thanks!

[@dan308z]

Love the videos mate, doing well. I have both the Makita 18v line, and Milwaukee 12v line. I'm looking at purchasing either the Makita 115mm chainsaw (DUC122Z) or the Milwaukee M12 hatchet. Have you had experience with either one, and if so which would you recommend? Cheers

[@nathanscale]

I have the mini Mak, she goes hard. Still with the bar oil storage issues though.

[@lukeyluke3837]

the 40v 👌. when the extension is on, does it reduce the power? awesome vid.

[@philgardener7018]

my 40v still has full power with the extension.

[@superspeeder]

The reality is Makita we’re FAR too conservative with their 18x2 tools in how much current they draw from the batteries. They literally have twice the cells and twice the contacts to pull power, no excuse as to why they couldn’t have literally doubled the power of the 18v models. Now the 40v come out into a more competitive market, so they have to put out. Had the 18x2 pushed the envelope back when they were introduced, they would have blown the market away completely. This was Makita’s race to lose as no one else had a battery system even close, and they lost. 40v is a completely new architecture, so as an existing Makita user what incentive do I have to stick with the brand? XGT needs desperately to have a true compact battery option based on pouch cells too. Lugging around an impact driver with a 10 cell 18650 pack is not fun, and that’s currently the smallest option in XGT. LXT offers 5 cell packs, though only 2Ah which is a joke. Come on Makita, get with the times and support your loyal 18v customers. I’m not buying into XGT, to me that’s just a slap in the face since you refuse to update your 18v platform with newer tech batteries to keep it competitive. Forced/planned obsolescence.

[@ruthweigh5507]

How many extenders can you put on the tool? One..two?

[@the-plan-today]

@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL - any clue if the oil drips out when you hang it with the blade pointing up?

[@prototype3a]

What sort of tree bush was that ?

[@MattTester]

For some reason KZbin sent me a notification about this video to say it had been uploaded 4 hours ago. Go home KZbin, you're drunk!

[@rkgsd]

On paper, I assumed 4 more volts wouldn't make a noticeable difference over 36V and I wondered why Makita didn't jump to 56V. I now feel more confident about going with their 40V lineup.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

The 40v batteries are 36v nominal. The same as 18v x2 is 36v nominal or 40v Max. They are not 4v more. Just as 12v are really 10.8v and 20v is really 18v.

[@rkgsd]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL OK, and yet there's a noticeable difference in cutting power between the 36V and 40V.

[@HamishL]

Thanks for the excellent review as always. One question though: Is the 40v split shaft power head (UX01G) compatible with the big 8Ah XGT battery?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Yes.

[@HamishL]

Sweet, thanks! it's never too late for an xmas pressie.@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL

[@darkairsoft]

Good. Great video. I needed to know the number of grooves the machine uses on the rods. 7 or 9?

[@Jimmy-pe5hj]

Hi, would you be interested in testing how impact wrenches using the 1/2 Inch Square Drive to 1/4 Inch Hex Drive Adapter compare drilling and screwing vs impact drivers?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Wait 2 days

[@Jimmy-pe5hj]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Nice! I would use a wrench more than the driver, so if the wrench does a decent enough job the adapter would save money on an extra tool.

[@whya2ndaccount]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Great! I'm also interested in the reverse (using a driver with suitable adapted to "crack" wheels nuts at home - esp. after the local tyre place has done them up to a bazzillion Nm with an air gun).

[@toolscientist]

Wrenches have lower RPM compared to impact drivers, so they'll be a little bit slower. Might even out when you get to very large screws (>10mm diameter)

[@shortyorc121]

Hey tools and stuff does the 18v power head support the 17in trimmer head attachment?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

All Power heads fit all attachments.

[@bestly510]

Hi tools and stuff, wondering if it's worth buying a power head just for the pole saw attachment? I guess Makit doesn't have other pole saw options in NZ

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

They have at least 3 standalone pole saws which are better than using a power head.

[@bestly510]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Cheers!

[@rns228338]

My gas versions from other brands also leak all it's oil out!!

[@whya2ndaccount]

Does the 18V x 2 version have the same "stalling" issues as the single 18V version, mentioned at 5:54?

[@kevinmunz]

I have the 18v x2. It'll stall if you push it in thicker branches, like over 5 inches or so. If you hold it back a little it'll do just fine but it is a pain to do when you're reaching overhead. I'll be thinking about upgrading to the 40v next time I have a lot of branches to trim.

[@whya2ndaccount]

@@kevinmunz Thanks. I have a bit invested in the 18V ecosystem and 10cm branches are likely the limit anyway for my once a year pruning jobs. If I want to do tree-felling, I'll invest in a real chain saw (or more likely employ an insured professional).

[@samstacey8921]

I have it on the 18Vx2 and it stalls like crazy on harder woods than pine (e.g. eucalyptus). I get the impression that it’s overheating. After a few stalls it won’t move at all until you wait 5-10mins, presumably to cool down. Yes, agree that it leaks oil…

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Do you use 6Ah batteries on it by any chance?

[@whya2ndaccount]

@@samstacey8921 Is that green timber (e.g. Eucalyptus still growing) or aged dead-fall, etc.?

[@andymora5595]

I am thinking about buying a EY403MP attachment for my DUX18 multitool device. But 150....200 Euros is very much money for a device which I would use only 2 or 3 times each year. Are there any compatible attachments for the DUX18 on the market which are cheaper?

[@Schwiegermutter]

Zombies cant even come near you!

[@blow0me]

Does anyone make an adapter so you can use a new battery powered head, with your existing strimmer, hedge cutter etc accessories from another brand ? Seems very wasteful and expensive to have to buy more new crap
