From groundbreaking innovations to powerhouse tools that push the limits of performance, the latest from Makita is sure to stir up some buzz. Tools & Stuff is showcasing the ultimate track saw, and Rob, along with his trusty tradesmen, is diving deep into the best multi-tool of 2021. Buckle up, because this is your Power Tool Week in Review!
1. Makita’s Latest Launch: Tools You Didn’t Know You Needed
Makita has been keeping things exciting, and this week’s launches are no exception. Among the stars of the show is the jaw-dropping Makita XGT 14-inch Power Cutter—yes, you read that right. A MONSTER SAW. This is one tool that’s making waves in the industry, combining performance and power like never before. Not to mention, the Makita LXT Cooler and Warmer Box caught the attention of many, featuring impressive technology that can keep your beverages cold or hot, with the added bonus of being able to power it up using both Makita batteries or a wall outlet. And let’s not forget the Starlock Max Multi-tool, a sleek and efficient addition to Makita’s tool lineup that’s ready to tackle your toughest jobs.
2. DeWALT Powerstack Battery: Cold Test Results Revealed
If you’ve been eyeing the DeWALT Powerstack battery, this week’s Workshop Addict video will make you think twice before using it in freezing temperatures. Brian puts the battery to the test by leaving it in the freezer for 24 hours, and the results were eye-opening. With lithium-ion batteries notoriously suffering in extreme temperatures, Powerstack didn’t fare too well under the cold. But once it warmed up, the battery’s performance improved, though not quite to its full potential. For cold-weather workers, this might be something to consider before investing in this battery tech.
3. Torque Test Channel: The Real Impact of Low Battery on Torque
Ever wondered how much performance you lose when your battery is running low? The Torque Test Channel answered that question in their latest episode, showing that a 25% loss in torque is pretty significant when your battery dips down. The test used heat guns to drain the battery to specific levels and then measured the power output of different tools. The results were eye-opening and should make you rethink how you charge up for the day.
4. Multitool Showdown: Which One Reigns Supreme in 2021?
In a head-to-head battle that had everyone on the edge of their seats, Toolbox Buzz tested multitools from some of the biggest names in the industry Bosch, DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee, Ridgid, Metabo, Ryobi, and more. The surprise of the competition? Flex Tools, a newcomer, who came close to topping the charts despite being a first-time contender. With thorough testing on accuracy, ergonomics, and price, the reviews are comprehensive and will give you everything you need to know about the best multitool of 2021.
5. Ridgid R4251 Follow-Up Review
Remember the Ridgid R4251? This saw is still turning heads, and M4Drums Builds did a follow-up review after months of use, diving into the saw’s performance and answering the most common questions from the unboxing. While the dust collection could use some improvement, the overall performance is solid, and Ridgid fans are still loving it. For anyone still on the fence, this video is worth a watch.
6. Mafell KSS 40: A Game-Changer in Track Saws
If you’ve been hunting for a high-quality track saw, Tools & Stuff has just the recommendation for you. Enter the Mafell KSS 40, a compact, feature-packed saw that makes cross-cutting a breeze. Packed with features like a rollable track, depth adjustment, and riving knife, this saw has everything you need for precise and easy cutting. While there are some minor drawbacks, like the depth adjustment being a bit shallow for framing work, overall, Tools & Stuff is incredibly impressed. Just be warned: never loan anything to this guy—he’ll likely keep it for himself!
