You know how us tool Addicts are brother. We have to have it 😆. Seriously, we all know XGT was aimed at the contractor needing high demand battery powered tools. Huge cut off saws, breakers, SDS rotary’s and things off that nature run way more efficient on higher voltage. To keep everything on one battery platform they had to incorporate impacts and drills along with XGT instead of having to use LXT batteries as well. Makes sense but us smaller construction businesses like 40volt too lol. Thanks for the in depth review Taylor. Really enjoyed it as always brother ✊

I can see your right with the power settings limiting them. The platform does seem to be oriented towards the higher draw cut tools, circular, reciprocating, etc. Will be interesting to see in their twin pack 40’s if they’ve let it draw more from the batteries.

I think XGT is about answering that the worst things to be underpowered in are the big things where you can’t or don’t want to move what you’re working with. Drills and impacts are just about personal preference at this point.

Well said. The drill is more powerful and faster than the 18v the but impact is more of the same.

And just think. I have a couple of M12 Milwaukee impact driver/wrenches that will hang right beside these 36(aka40) volt Makitas. It is all marketing hype. Fall for it if you want to but I just buy good tools period. Makita 18volt, Bosch cordless miter saws and so on. Just bought all three 36 volt Metabo Hpt saws and their 36 volt hammer drill to try. Impressed so far. The reason I bought the Bosch 10 inch 18volt miter saw is the weight. 39 pounds in a dual bevel slide 10 in saw is pretty hard to beat and I have found their saws to be accurate enough for high end Mahogany trim work.

On the impact drivers I would say you are correct. In fact while I love my XGT impact driver the LXT performs better. The hammer drill is a different story though. On a tool like that you won’t see an 18x2 drill and the XGT model has numerous improvements. I have the LXT and XGT saws and the performance is pretty similar but only having one battery changes the ergonomics for the better IMO. To each their own though. They aren’t for everyone and I get that. With any tool company there will be a fair amount of marketing. As long as you like the tool then I say go with that.

The XGT tax on top of the LXT equivalent (or any 18V/20V option for that matter) isn't worth it unless you get power hungry tools like circ saws, sawzalls, SDS rotary hammers and angle grinders. But I think I'd be better served by going 2 platforms and keeping both the hammer drill and impact driver as 18V

Item for discussion: if I’m not off-base here increasing the voltage won’t do much aside from exchange volts for amps at a set equation and run significantly cooler. I think the ceiling for the amount of volts+amps is raised significantly making that jump but I’m not sure it’s worth much until they’ve added higher voltage + super high output batteries
@TinkerWithTools
@TinkerWithTools Жыл бұрын
I am by no means an expert when it comes to the science/math behinds amps and volts, but what I will tell you is this. XGT isn't about the small tools like an impact driver for example. But the even the drill is a noticeably different tool on XGT than on LXT even though the specs like torque are similar. But the real long game for Makita is going to be higher demand tools like you are starting to see coming out and with that the bigger batteries.

@@TinkerWithTools you’re absolutely correct that seems to be the idea behind all the higher volt lines mx fuel etc! But a lot of folks seem to have the idea that their smaller demand tools will be greatly increased in power. Which I imagine makita, Milwaukee, etc etc have no interest in correcting that error in thought process lol!

Imo they should have made the batteries backwards compatible to the 18 volt range ,this iscwhy I chose Dewalt and love their XR/FLEXVOLT TOOLS
@TinkerWithTools
@TinkerWithTools Жыл бұрын
I am glad they didn’t. I get the appeal of having a battery that can serve both types of tools and I have both Flexvolt and MultiVolt tools that do this but I have heard many people complain of both battery and tool failures when you have it switching voltages. It sucks to have to buy multiple sets of batteries but I do think it’s the better solution long term.

The XGT drill is absolutely more powerful than the predecessor. In fact, it’s almost too powerful and that’s why I think it comes with anti-kick back technology to not break anyone’s wrist out there. Probably one of the most powerful hammer drill drivers on the market today. The impact driver is okay, but what I really think stands out most about it most is the 40v platform which allows you to do more work for a longer period of time (more voltage equals less discharge on the battery). Overall, the XGT line is pretty impressive but the price point scares a lot of people off. And people like Team Red because they’re trendy tools.

In my opinion the biggest draw of XGT is the potential for bigger more powerful stuff. Impact drivers are just there so it can be your one your one platform.

Except for the fact that it isn't 40 volts. It is 36 volts. Says so on back of the battery. All makita did was move to a single battery platform for their 36 volt tools. Where they screwed their current 18volt users is they didn't make the batteries multivolt like Dewalt and Metabo HPT. huge mistake in my opinion.

makita lxt drill had issues with broken drills in overload, even the bruschless. we have alot broken drills i think over 20 in a year i think. the protection on xgt is nice to keep the wear on drill and it has more then enough power for proffesional use. no one need so much torque on home use and on jobside in my opinion.

While I haven’t yet done a head to head comparison of the the two (I only have the XDT16) the 40v impact driver didn’t feel substantially stronger than the 18v. Unless you are going to get the higher power draw tools like saws and such I think the XDT19 would be a great choice too. You can’t go wrong with either.

This is correct. They refer to the max voltage when they say 40 volt. It’s just like DEWALT calling their tools 20v max instead of 18v like everyone else.
