The Makita content keeps coming.
Honestly, I’m probably about ready to call it quits myself, unless I buy something else.
After going through the entire catalog, there’s not much else I want… An impact driver?
Nah, I’ll skip the impact driver… I don’t use it outdoors anyway.
Makita MP181DZ Cordless air pump
I have a feeling this might be incredibly convenient…
You can easily inflate your car or motorcycle tires at home.
That’s really helpful, isn’t it?
You don’t have to keep going to gas stations or shops with compressors to inflate your tires.
When inflating a car, there’s no hassle with air hoses. You can fill all four tires just by moving around.
And if you keep it in your car for long trips, it could save you in an emergency.
It also has an air gauge function, so if you adjust it properly, you’ll get even more accurate results.
It apparently can even seat tire beads during tire changes?
I thought, “Really? No way?” but… it doesn’t seem to be completely false.
In recent years, battery technology has really improved the convenience of so many things.
Both motorcycles and cars going EV… maybe EV conversion is right around the corner…
Can it push out caliper pistons? Maybe?
I haven’t purchased this yet so I’m not sure, but with air pressure you might be able to gently push out pistons or remove seals.
・Caliper pistons
・Fork oil seals
I can’t think of anything else right now, but if the air pressure control isn’t as finicky as a compressor, that could be a useful application too.
The wave of price increases is right in front of us (*´ω｀*)
I imagine prices won’t be going down.
I think most things will jump up by 20-30% starting next fiscal year.
Wouldn’t it be wise to get what you need while things are calm and you can take your time thinking about inventory and prices?
