Bataryaya adanmış bir ömür 🤠
Hi Brian. I have a lot of sympathy with your rant on Makita dropping the sub-compact range: I was 'forced' to buy Milwaukee, which are ok, I guess. BTW - the after-market battery companies definitely lie about capacity: Makita use Samsung batteries, which are some of the best in the world.
Thanks for the comment, I agree, the Makita batteries are better but the cost of the copies is difficult to argue with.
Did you find it gave the tool more power? I find the impact gun to be a bit weak. Instead of buying another (milwaukee) i thought id try upgrading the battery first
The small 10.8v drivers are ok for small jobs and they are lightweight. Typically we have been using them for plaster board screws. The off market replacements are not t better than the originals, they are just cheaper. The 18v LXT Makita impacts are good value but it f you are switching battery platforms there are lots to choose from. I guess what helps decide is what other tools do you want?
Its been a few years with these batteries, how have they held up? Thanks for the video and blessing!
To some extent I have moved on the the CXT range so although I had some good every day use out of these batteries I have not used this battery type for quite some time. The main reason is Makita moved on and the impact drivers I was using wore out. The CXT platform is were I would invest, not this old style, hope this helps
@@bodgeitwithbrian good to hear, thank you for the quick response. Those Makita drills were so good, I wish would have keep on with that platform like Milwaukee and DeWalt moved to 12v. Again thank you and God bless!
I love my old 10.8 Makita tools. I was wondering about the after market batteries. Do you use your original charger?
Sure do, works well. The batteries very often are not the Ah they are labelled as so I just buy the cheaper ones, but check out the link in the video, they have been ok for me
You are right to have mentioned this scam from leading manufacturing companies regarding changing the battery design , wouldn't it be better if we can insert batteries ourselves without having them sealed , they would argue it's a safety issue but we know better .
I'm predicting a European standard that saves the planet. One battery for all
Bust a creabest battery case in the 10.8v so took apart to get the 18650 cells out.
Battery was 3 years old but all 3 cells where 1415mAh each give or take a little which I thought was good for age in my battery tester drain test. No brand on them. Was thinking of swapping them for new Samsung 18650 but it's not practical and would take too long imo. Dangerous to.
Don't know what they would of been new but found them to be OK for the money and would buy more.
It's actually better to keep the old makita battery cases and just slide the cell pack in as better quality and lock in tool better than creabest case, so don't throw original cases out. Easy job that.
Motor and parts are available and easy swap.
Great comment. Would like to see replacement battery packs for Makita cases. Shame it's not like replacing AA's
@@bodgeitwithbrian
Yeah.
Re cell replacement
I've seen it done on youtube and I've tried replacing cells in the past but I right pain. Don't bother. Original battery packs aren't much more than the knockoff packs i
If you look about. Samsung batteries in original packs so maybe a tad more power. Depending on what you want I guess.
Just put motor in mikita impact 10.8v (£6 got lucky off ebay) and good to grease the hammer ever few years as works better. I'm coming to you on my spare youtube account but I made a video of the motor swap on other account and put on youtube. I hate throwing stuff out if I can fix.. Also bought spare 10.8v impact off ebay for £25 so bargain tools.
How am I expected to take advice from you when the door on your workshop has been put on the wrong way ?
No need to get your knickers in a twist, the cross brasses are not even attached, they're reversible ;-)
ICK ICK it should start with a D -
Is it? This video won’t tell you unfortunately
I'll give you an update, they probably are not real and the sticker is not telling the truth. I would say they give me more like 1.8ah similar to my other batteries
That´s the reason I stick with 2 big platforms, 1 for 12V and 1 for 18V. But to be honest, I might sell the 18V platform and start over with Dewalt since their 54/18V Flexvolt system is the future. Why don´t you test the batteries? Charge them and put a 12V lightbulb to them, then you know the actual throughput in mAh.
Yes I like the idea of the flexvolt. I'm too far into Bosch right now. I don't think I have any lamps for the 10.8v gear. In fact I don't think I have any lamps since the nicad days but yes a test will happen
Bosch is my 12/10,8V system and I'm very pleased with it overall, AEG is my 18V system but I found out that it hasn't got enough power when I bought the circular saw. Maybe I'll go with 3 platforms and only buy the 54/108V machines for the heavy applications. The odd thing is that Milwaukee doesn't answer by sticking to their Fuel 18V even though it doesn't pack the punch of 54V.
Is it only DeWalt who combines batteries together to make more powerful tools? Just had a look at Milwaukee and see they have three battery sizes. Feels better to have one battery
Different battery sizes is a good thing IMHO. You only have to carry the weight of a 2Ah battery in a low draw application but can get decent runtime in high power applications with a larger, heavier battery.
No, it's not only Dewalt, but their system is better thought out, because AEG for instance has a twin 18V mitre saw that doesn't benefit from the higher voltage, just the extended runtime, and yes, you get a little better power since you don't draw as many amps per cell, but you lose power compared to a 36/54/108V system. Makita & Metabo use double 18V to generate 36V and better punch, still the 54V is superior power wise and when doubled as in there 12’ mitre saw you both get extreme power & runtime.
I would like to check if you have feedback about the quality and real capacity of the Creabest battery?
Yes they appear to be ok for the price. I've not performed any kind of scientific test but they are performing as well as the originals. Certainly no complaints
@@bodgeitwithbrian Thank you for the reply, then I will order one for my Worx drill and yes they are at very nice price. Also I found they make batteries for all kind of machines.
Oh interesting, thanks
@@bodgeitwithbrian I ordered the battery for my worx Impact driver and received it today. Once I have it in my hand I noticed it is very light on weight. So I opened the battery and inside the elements they use are us18650vc3 1900mah. So the battery capacity is a scam.
That's bad news. I think I have one of mine on the way out so I'll have that appart and check it. Did you get it from Amazon? I'll be leaving a negative comment to warn others. Maybe another video on these then,. Warning one
A Prime example of why
not to buy makita, I heavily invested in the milwaukee m12 range, they're by far the best tools Iv used, they cost considerably more than other brands but are well worth it as the range of m12 tools is leading the market and as far as cordless routers go, I use the ryobi palm router when I need it, does the exact same job as other brands if not better and 1/3 of the price is always a bonus
Not had my hands on many of the Milwaukee tools. The 12v range does look extensive though
When yoh say LXT I think you meant to say CXT? The stupid square not so compact 12v range from makita!
Probably but I really like the cxt range, the weight difference and size has its benefits and all the other major plays have a 12v range. Interested to see what happens when the 40v range comes out
