Why Makita? There are other brands out there, aren’t there?
I get that comment surprisingly often.
“Hmm, I wonder why?” I started thinking about what it really means to choose Makita.
I haven’t used many other brands much, but I think Makita has “an exceptionally high baseline standard.”
Back in the 10.8V era, there were surprisingly many duds, and honestly, I got frustrated.
But times have changed,
and now Makita creates “reliable tools that become your right arm.”
“Top Pick #1” An incredibly wide (almost too wide) lineup
that amazes me (;・∀・)
With as many as “730 models”…
40V MAX 181 models
18V 371 models, 36V 65 models
Currently, the 18V platform dominates the market.
With 371 models alone in the 18V lineup, just choosing one is a challenge.
But it’s not just about having many models— “large, medium, small,” “heavy, light,” “long, short,” and so on,
the lineup is carefully designed with different needs and applications in mind.
When you think “this is a bit heavy,” or “it won’t fit,” or “I’m getting tired,”
you can choose based on the situation.
It’s challenging in a way, but “having choices is better than having none.”
If you have a clear sense of purpose,
you can select a more efficient and effective tool—that’s what I love about Makita.
“Top Pick #2” Rapid charging while cooling the lithium battery!
Extended battery life too—so grateful (*´ω｀*)
18V 6Ah in just “40 minutes” *DC18RF
This has become standard, but… it’s actually super impressive.
Haven’t you noticed recently when charging mobile batteries?
“The charging time is insanely long,” right?
Even with modest capacity, it takes hours as a matter of course.
So charging an 18V 6Ah battery in 40 minutes? That’s extraordinarily fast.
“Workers come first”—
that’s the philosophy I sense here.
This rapid charging is with the fastest charger, the “DC18RF,” so please note that.
*Always go with genuine chargers—no exceptions.
This is the charger comparison table from the catalog.
Going with the DC18RF is the safe choice, but
the DC18RE/DC18RD also deliver solid performance.
To be continued in Part 2 (*´ω｀*)
