Thanks for your instructions, they were million times better than the instruction manual. As a novice your explanation was excellent 👌👍👍👍 thanks. Please keep on reviewing the Makita range as that is the brand I have been buying. It's very nice that people like yourself are doing these videos. Cheers 👏👏👏👏👏

Nice review, I've had a cordless circular saw for quite some time now but do break out the old corded one now and again and it really makes you appreciate the ease of use of the cordless ones.

good stuff Chris love my makita tools had cordless for the last 10 years on my farm would never go back to having to take the genni with me for the small jobs looking to up grade to the brushless your videos are giving me the push not that mine have given up yet only had one battery die on me also running a few after market ebay batterys that are just as good
@TheUltimateRecycler Жыл бұрын
Thanks Michael. Makita say not to use after market batteries (which is expected, as they want to sell theirs!). I'm not sure how they'd go with the brushless range as I think they are more computerised? I don't think I would try it at least until they are out of warranty..

I got a ryobi 18v power saw like yours but without the lithium battery in a hard rubbish pile. So a heavy duty 24v transformer with a bridge rectifier was used to power this saw and it did not like heavy cuts like the one you showed in your video. The one reason why I went to all the trouble to do this is this saw is very light and my shoulder and hands do not hurt as much.
@TheUltimateRecycler Жыл бұрын
I found the Makita saw very manoeuvrable and not hard on my dodgy shoulder at all actually! I doubt I'd be able to use one of those old heavy corded models safely any more..

@@TheUltimateRecycler I was using that saw last night and the magic smoke came out so I had to use my 6.2 kg hitachi saw. I will be suffering for a while. At 24v X 7 amps it is 168 watts which is not a lot of power compared to my hitachi at 1700 watts.

@@TheUltimateRecycler Just a thought... you have a set of REALLY nice tools, you also have a store and a knack for turning a profit... Have you considered renting out your tools on a daily basis from your store? Or at least some of the less used tools? Perhaps pick up duplicate tools for the most popular ones... from the rental profits... Perhaps also charge by the battery, don't rent out the charger, it would also limit the wear and tear on the tools! Anyways it was just a thought...

Nice review, but you really, really shouldn't be putting your left hand underneath the workpiece like you do at 10:50. If the saw kicks back you risk maiming your fingers - so even if you know what you're doing, it is a super dangerous thing to be teaching beginners (who are the ones likely to be watching this). Both hands on the saw - and and never, ever reach underneath the workpiece while the saw is running. Ever.
@TheUltimateRecycler Жыл бұрын
Thanks for your comment and concern Andreas! My left hand was actually behind me while the saw was in front, so I think that was pretty safe - but I take your point that you can never be too careful with power tools! Cheers, Chris
