Wow!
I think, but it’s almost a replacement (゚Д゚)
Rest assured? About what?
Now, Makita of the Year continues.
I don’t think this topic will come up next year… since there’s nothing to buy anytime soon.

Surprisingly moved award
Makita Disc Grinder 18V 100mm Wireless Dust Collection Compatible/Paddle Switch Type Battery and Charger Sold Separately GA418DZ
Cordless is a given, but
- “Switch OFF for instant brake”
- The point about “rotation adjustment dial is amazing.”
First of all, 100V grinders are noisy, right? They run at full speed when powered on, and don’t stop unless you turn off the switch.
This product resolved all those frustrations at once. - Instant braking when the switch is OFF greatly improves safety.
- When observing while grinding, releasing it turns it OFF so it’s not noisy.
- The “rotation adjustment dial” is divine. There’s no issue where the belt sander is slightly underpowered or the sander is slightly overpowered, but being able to grind slowly and carefully at low speed was extremely GOOD.
It’s a small thing, but there’s no doubt that the workability of the grinder has improved dramatically.

Most moved this year award
Makita Cordless Blower Dust Collector [MUB187DZ]
A product that most people have no interest in whatsoever.
However, I think quite a lot of people have been helped by this?
An item that completely realized the “I’ve always wanted a product like this!” concept.
Cleaning fallen and dead leaves is completed at lightning speed.
It’s absolutely perfect for gardens, shops, and around your home.
If you’re someone who dreads raking leaves every year, I highly recommend this item.

Most active almost every day award
Makita Cordless Air Pump 18V Battery and Charger Sold Separately MP181DZ
When I first bought it, I thought “This is no good… I made a mistake.”
The threaded straight air port was so bad that I even considered disposing of it.
However
ASAHI Bike Chuck Short (for Gauge Bottle) C-645
ASAHI P-D48 Conversion Adapter (for C-B62 Socket Chuck Installation) Asahi
Just using these two items from Asahi Industries transforms it into something completely different. Or rather, it feels like we’ve finally reached the starting line.
The digital air pressure gauge is also quite accurate. The usability of the air chuck has improved, making it possible to quickly inflate anywhere.
It’s slower than a compressor, but it’s not at a level that bothers me.
I think this is the product where I felt the most benefit from going cordless.
I hope this serves as a reference for those considering cordless Makita products.
Continuing to the bonus edition of ③-3.
