Newby chunkier one found recently
Thinking that Makita has a pretty good idea though by doubling the volts for 36v range yet keeping the AHrs down so they can be used across all tools?
There is no way I could see myself working a little say impact driver screw gun with a 12.0 gardening monster battery strapped to its base :-)

Makita need to pick up their game there, other than that I have never had any regrets about choosing Makita to start with

Have you seen the power tool battery adaptors?
Probably useful if you have various tools from different manufacturers, but there are also 12v to 18v adaptors.
You could get a 10Ah Milwaukee battery to work with your Makita.

I have never tried any of these type of thing, but I just stumbled across their existence recently.

Hey mate, yeah I've come across them before, actually suggested @MB gets one so he can use the Makita trimmer with his Milwaukee battery set. They look good, I just figure I've invested so much money with Makita, i want to stick with their product.

Yeh for sure, they wouldn't be worth getting if you didn't already have a set of batteries from different power tools that you wanted to make use of.

exciting/expensive news. was in TT this arvo to pickup a blade for my bandsaw. i made the same comment as above and the bloke said he had just been to a makita product info night for reps etc, showing off a whole new battery line they will be releasing within the next 6 ?not confirmed? months. aparently the reason they have held off longer than the other brands as they dont want to go down the path of just jamming more cells into a bigger case. they are looking to release batteries with "micro capacitors" or something along those lines.
the bloke didnt know too much, but its exciting to know makita are ignoring the elephant in the room, might be said they are trying to be the turtle in the battery war for the higher demand devices?

Picked up this bad boy from Bunnings for $50, in the runout bin in the tool section. Stoked, it's a solid bit of gear

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Used a few in anger now.. including some "I should really get a fixed ringy for this" jobs. Feel pretty solid and haven't had any issues.
The roll is handy too. Had to change a radiator in my daily at work the other week and was nice to be able to just throw this in rather than pilfer my toolbox.
