DeWALT Xtreme 12V 5 3/8″ Circular Saw
WorkshopAddict Reviews the Compact Powerhouse
Let’s kick things off with a review from WorkshopAddict. Brian takes a close look at the new DeWALT Xtreme 12V 5 3/8″ Circular Saw. This compact saw punches well above its weight in terms of power and design. Its small size makes it easy to handle, and DeWALT continues to impress with its reliability. As an added bonus, the saw is made in Mexico, which is a big deal for those looking for tools outside of China. Brian gives the full scoop on what makes this tool stand out.
Makita 18V LXT Starlock Max Multitool
Scott Brown Crowned King of Multitools
Next up, ScottBrownCarpentry dives into the new Makita 18V LXT Starlock Max Multitool. Scott boldly claims that this tool is the “ultimate multitool,” thanks to its compatibility with all three types of Starlock blades. This innovation makes the tool incredibly versatile. Scott also shares a heartwarming moment with his partner, Jess, while explaining the tool’s features. While this model isn’t available in the U.S. just yet, it’s creating plenty of buzz in other markets. Check out Scott’s review to see why he’s so excited about this tool!
Makita 40V XGT 3/4″ Impact Wrench
Torque Test Channel Puts It to the Test
Over at the TorqueTestChannel, they put the Makita 40V XGT 3/4″ Impact Wrench through its paces. This tool impressed with its raw power, nearly matching the Milwaukee 2868 while being nearly half the price. For big rig drivers and service techs, this impact wrench offers a cost-effective solution without sacrificing performance. The team also compared the 2.5Ah and 4.0Ah batteries that come with the kit, and the results were more complex than expected. Check out the full test on TorqueTestChannel.
Makita Battery Tester
Tools & Stuff Gives Us a Sneak Peek
Tools & Stuff gave us an early look at the Makita BTC04 Battery Tester. This tool can check the number of times a battery has been charged, its health, and its individual cell voltage. The real kicker? It can even measure the internal temperature of the battery. This tester isn’t available in the U.S. yet, but it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on. Jeremy also teases that he’s considering importing it via Japanese eBay. If you’re interested in this tool, let him know in the comments.
