Great saw - get either the BSS610 or the BSS611
I’m a big Makita fan, so this may be just a bit biased: I like this saw a lot. This saw is very similar to Makita’s BSS610. The differences between the two are hard to find — and Makita doesn’t always tell you what [...]

Best small sander & tough enough.
I bought one of these Makita sanders some years ago. I use it for finish work on the boat, and or various house projects, like the outdoor furniture. It does a wonderful job, is light weight, and easy to control. I have used it with paper from [...]

Best Impact I have ever owned Use it everyday!
Four years ago I had a hand crushing injury at work. I’m a manager of a garage door shop and I have to use an impact everyday. My hand would hurt after a long day of using my old makita or dewalt impact. I was so happy [...]

Still “My new favorite tool.”
I’m a lead carpenter for a residential remodeler. I’ve owned 11 cordless drills over the years (currently I have 4) and this Makita is not only the best of the bunch, by far, it may be the best power tool I own. I’ve had it for about a month now and [...]

Lightweight and well built
I own a hardwood flooring business and we have 4 of these saws in use and 3 Dewalt 10″ and 1 Hitachi. I had the Milwaukee Magnum 10″ but sold it because it was too heavy and hard to use. These Makita 10″ saws have a great feel to them and are [...]

Great value at this price, get it while you can
When I first saw the 18-volt powerhouse Makita 6347DWDE drill at this price — which doesn’t even include the significant manufacturer’s rebate — I thought it was too good to be true and quite possibly a misprint. I had to re-read the description and the fine [...]

About the battery comment….
Responding to the prior comment about the user not having a battery fit with his existing Makita battery:
This is because he was trying to use the white 1.5Ah Makita battery (slim pack) in a tool that requires the more powerful (and larger and more $$$$) 3.0Ah battery. SOME tools can take [...]
