Retiring the dewalt.

Looking into the Makita 18v new batery styles. Anyone have these new batteries yet?

for me its a little overkill for tec work but they are the $hit when it comes to installs. Makita is wonderful my buddys Milwakie(sp) had problems and was to heavy for daly use he returnded and now loves his Makita.

I have the hole set its serious bad ass, i allso have hilti & milwaukee nimh they are nice but cnat touch the makita, the makita 18 volt lithium ion is the sweetest ever
i prefer my hilti corded sawzall, however the makita cordless can rough in just as well.
squeeze the trigger , be careful you will **** your pants when you feel the power these very light tools have.
it rivals all

the flashlight in the kit is nice too, battery seems to last forever
