Forevrbumpn Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I personally love the lithium Makita line, I never used them, but they look bad ass, and have that Makita reliability Iam sure, my neighbor has used them, and loves them I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

Yup in my book its Makita + Milwaukee > Dewalt > Craftsman..... Those are the only brand of power tools for the most part that I will buy.

~digital~bass~ Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Makita is more for comfort I would say than anything else. My friend has the Lithium-ion line of the 18v makita cordless and I have the 18v auto shift Ridgid cordless and our results is this. He is now the proud owner of of Ridgid tools. If you dont mind alittle less performance for comfort then makita is the way to go. If you dont care if the drill is alittle heavier and not as comfortable but you like performance there are better.

I disagree but thats why there are different brands for different people.

Those are the only brand of power tools for the most part that I will buy. Hahahahaha. My 2 year old Crftsman 19.2v cordless drill got WAY out performed by a 9.2v 9year old dewalt. The dewalt had better speed and more torque. And half the weight and 4x the age. Car Audio + Bodyboarding/Longboarding = LIFE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
