[Ian]

Got a grinder, 110v, top tool. Would never have a cordless grinder, I'd need far too many batteries! Only other Makita tool I own is a variable speed grinder for profiling/polishing.

All my tools r Makita including the radio, but my Makita cordless grinder just isn't worth the money and I would only cut a few 6mm ceramics with it !

 

[nakhodka2002]

Most of my tools are Makita. very good investment and longlasting

is it an older modal then Area ?

 

[charlie1]

have 2 makita 110v grinders, love them both, very light.

i have the makita saw with the hampster bottle, and use all time on ceramics, sits in my tool bag nicely. do most of my cuts by hand and mainly use it for the L cuts round the windows.
saves me time not setting one of my bigger machines up and cleaning them afterwards!!!
obvs useless if you do alot of stone.
would be good if they made one with the power of the cordless grinder as its only 12v and short on some real power.

i have invested in the cordless 18 v li-on drill+impact driver and grinder.Im now looking for a good deal on the site radio if anyone knows of one :smilewinkgrin:

 

[ailill]

Have 6 makita hand tools, love them all. Very reliable, longlasting.

 

[Rookery]

I've got a Makita 14.4 drill driver which is fine for light duty work and a 240v SDS drill/driver/chisel thats fine too. Quality tools in my view.

Do you use the battery that came with it or did you get an upgrade. [MENTION=26806]widler[/MENTION]

 

[Gazzer]

4 Makita 115mm angle grinders. 1 drill and 1 pair of Makita knee pads

 

[area tiling]

Newish model diamond about a year old ! What r you mainly using yours for?

 

[widler]

Do you use the battery that came with it or did you get an upgrade. @widler

nope same battery, like i said,ive used it on everything,not every day,but a job or 3 a month,great piece of kit.
im not cutting 600 x600 porca/stone ect half way (although i have when forgot my table once) takes too long,but around sockets in splashbacks,its ideal,or cutting a socket in the middle its great.
but hey ho,each to there own

 

[jwatson]

i got an aftermarket 3ah battery for mine at Batteries4Less UK, Laptop Batteries, Cordless Drill Batteries, Power Tool Batteries, Laptop Chargers came with 1.3 which was pants

Used a Makita chop saw and circ saw for about 10 years. Faultless. Got Makita angle grinder and work boots after my DeWalt ones fell to bits in 3 months. Bosch everything else.

Wish I'd bought Makita drill over the Hitachi but pennies were tight at the time. Give Hitachi their due though, they replaced the drill and 3 NiCads for LiIon when it all went pear shaped after 14 months.
