Thread: Makita tools

I have to agree with you. So far I have never had a makita tool that did not perform as expected. I have had my circ saw for about 20 years now and still going strong even after putting a disc in it and cutting out a doorway in a brick wall. I could not have cut an even strait line with an angle grinder. Changed the bearings in it a few years ago and expect it to see me out. My plainer is about 15 years and still old good also. Great to clean up recycled timber you would be reluctant to put through the thicknesser. Cant remember how old the hammer drill is. The battery tools are good too but batteries eventually give up the ability to hold a charge and this limits the useful life of the tool. Cant blame makita for that however. I just hope makita keep up the standard and dont go the way of some other tool makers.
