#40v
I think many people who dismiss the 40V platform as unnecessary are thinking in terms of specific tools, rather than in terms of a battery platform. Yes, a 1/4 inch impact driver doesn't need a 40v battery, as well as many other tools. They just don't benefit much and the batteries are larger, so that's a negative.
But 40V is a battery platform that can accommodate tools that do benefit from the additional power available. And people using those higher draw tools also need impact drivers, basic drills, and smaller saws. So those tools also need to be in the 40V battery platform, even if they are unnecessary for those specific tools in a vacuum.
This is why I really wish they would have gone multivolt. I'd have a couple 40V tools.
I have Makita and DeWalt tools, and Flexvolt is really nice to have.
AMEN
I have the Makita 260mm 40v saw and it's incredible. There's no way on earth you can pull that many amps from an 18v battery.
I think the 40v platform is perfect all around even for smaller tools like impacts. They have small 2.5ah batteries which compare in size to milwaukee 18v batteries or makita 18v batteries. But the benefit is less heat build up on 40v. I'm slowly switching over to makita 40v. I'm with milwaukee and heat build up is a big problem, even on my impact after screwing alot of lag screws it heats up pretty quick. 18v requires double the current to produce same amount of power, and milwaukee little motors on they're impacts are really strong even stronger then makitas 40v meaning lots of heat build up.
I have a string trimmer and in the summer you drain 1 battery and the second keeps going into thermal protection. And that's on multiple tools.
Im sorry, but i disagree....
Excluding the cordless hand drill which has been specifically designed for battery use and general use... (it screws screws, it drills holes in wood, and can do light masonary work) and its ideal for those conditions with many labour saving accessories.... (imagine a "corded hand drill", which dosent even look like a cordless, trying to do what a cordless does?... its designed for higher loads and mainly drilling into masonry, no quick single handed locking chuck V.s sds chuck which no cordless hand drill has, unless you buy the bigger ones....)
I know "we" know this, but im just putting it out there, that cordless is only good for 1 tool only....
Everything else..... corded....
Consider a "high power/current drain grinder".....
It flatens a 40v 8amp batterie in 30 mins, when you take it off the tool its MAD hot 🔥 , and takes 10 mins to cool-down before "fast" charging can commence.....
During its use, it held 90% of its strength till the last 15% where it started to slow down and not work properly, locking up and eventually ineffectual as a tool......
This 40v 8amp batterie now takes 76 minutes to charge where you "can not use the power tool"........at all, unless you buy another 80v 8amp battery at $400 each...... giving 60 mins maybe 65 mins of worktime including battery "swap outs" and charger insertions into "fast charger".......
Consider what this is doing to the battery?........ and within 6 to 9 months, the battery is stuffed..... so you make a claim in the warrenty, and they exchange it once..... then within your 3 year guarantee, another 6 to 9 months later, that battery is also "stuffed".... (the extreme electron flow causes deposits to build up on the terminals which accept charge, and are used to discharge power when needed, this "growing restriction" then effects both charging time, and the ammount of power available,and conversley its effectiveness is reduced by not being able to discharge that that it has in the same speed and amount) hence the need to have multiple battery claims on highly abused batteries......
"They" won't do a second warrenty claim, as it costs them a $400 loss everytime they hand out another free battery (they try claiming that back off manufacturer, but eventually, manufacturer will claim "abuse" and refuse after the first 1,000 claims nationally..... then it just becomes "goodwill" between you and the retailer, and on the second claim within your gurantee, the retailer asks you to contact manufacturer and "r.m.a" it. (Thats why guarantees are 1 year shop, +2 years from manufacturer, + 1 more year if you "register" your product with them "on line", so they can SPAM THE HELL OUT OF YOU....and sell your address to others who will send you adverts you cant "unsubscribe" to...)....... (im sick of it).... 🤬🤬🤬...
Anywho, manufacturer refuses to honour guarantee, as they claim "exceptional working conditions beyond "normal" working conditions (who the "f" decideds that then?).... and the 40v batteries are not "contractor grade equipement".... (eventhough their advertising is specifically aimed at contractors)....
Only had to scroll down a bit to find a "but millwookiii..." comment.😂 Great tool, nice review. As always.
Wish Milwokii has same planer. Makita is pumping now!)
Makita have always made excellent planers, corded and cordless. Great to see them carry on the tradition.
Makita top corded version KP312S cuts 3,5 mm/150mm wide , 2200W tool , of course its capacity is only 1,5 mm at 312 mm wide max cut , they could do 80V cordless model of it :-)
@@pete_lind WHY WOULD THEM ???
Look, this "Cordless Madness" has gone too far... this is a gross distortion of the tool market, because every tool maker has gone crazy stupid on offering more and more platforms, INSTEAD OF OFFERING BETTER AND MORE PRECISE TOOLS: the "market" has been fooled into this cordless madness where the earnings are in selling A LOT of batteries, instead of selling MORE TYPES of BETTER TOOLS and more varied accessories!
That is why I am both very happy to have bought my Makita 1912b full 4 1/8x wide corded planner instead of ANY other brand of tool, and because the 6" wide monster is not available in my country... And at the same time that I am 'happy', and am disappointed with Makita by NOT offering the Tunsgten Carbide edged knives for it, at a REASONABLE PRICE... Therefore, I am stuck with either having to resharpen the HSS knives which causes me to lose time at removing, resharpening, and aligning/reinstalling the two knives, or paying too much for the EXTREMELLY SCARSE and TOO COSTLY Makita Carbide replacements...
AND the "ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM" that nobody seems to see at all, is the fact that ANY "time saving" by using a more powerful electric plane, is WASTED by cleaning all the wood shavings (the easy task), or wearing a good respirator mask (for all the too small to be seen) microscopic wood splinters that otherwise will send you, not now, but in a few years, to the medical lung specialist, and/or sending you to a portable Oxygen tank store, to buy one for yourself...
The use of a good DUST COLLECTION setup (like a simple shopvac plus an efficient (think Oneida baffled) centrifugal separator and A HOSE, which will instantly ERASE ANY "advantage" of the trendy CORDLESS madness fashion.
In my experience, the time I SAVE by always attaching my shopvac hose to my Makita 1912B wide planer (and most of my hand tools too), is both worthwhile and HEALTHY. My vacuum hoses are hung from the ceiling, where I installed a set of three sliding door aluminum rails (two parallel and the third one across), so that the hose TOGETHER WITH THE "hated" electrical AC cord, are suspended and free to follow me along and across all my working area...
That is the reason why I am resisting the (dumb?) temptation of "going (stoopidly) into the Cordless-Madness" !!!
I was using my corded planer today and the lead kept getting caught up. After watching this great review I'm definitely sold 👍
Great review. I've got heaps of 18V tools but have taken the plunge on the 40V 3/4 impact. Comes with two 4ah batteries, Charger(with 18V adaptor) and one of the 40V grinders via Makita redemption offer. At $937 delivered I thought it was a good opportunity to test the waters in the XGT line. Looking forward to trying it out and will be grabbing an 8ah battery to try before long. My 18V gear will be going nowhere but for tools that need real grunt I'm sold on the XGT's after seeing your reviews! Cheers.
Auckland…just bought mine yesterday from handy hardware together with the 270mm skilly….beast planer!!! Awesome review👌👌👌
From across the ditch. I am still waiting to hear you say fish and chips. All the planer videos have been amazing even the Banggood copy one.
Just bought myself the new 40v makita planer today! Love from England
I’m here in the United States. I love me some Milwaukee but much respect to Makita and their 40v XGT Line. I have a few XGT Tools, it’s very limited our availability and takes so long for new ones to come to market. I am very impressed so far Makita is smashing it cheers Tools keep these videos coming please!
I bought in to 40v with the drill / driver combo and have been waiting and waiting to get the planer and the router
@@drysicle you can always purchase from eBay Japan that’s how I got the duster. Shipping was quick I was surprised it’s just the cost I don’t like.
I've never really had a reason to use a plainer but now I want one
I have just bought the 40v max makita planer and the one I had before is 18v brushless model. I've noticed the new 40v one takes longer to stop with the electric break than the 18v one. Please can you tell me if yours does the same. My work colleague said this may be normal as the 40v one is more powerful and thats why it takes longer to stop/cut out. Thank you
colour me impressed! that 40v planer is a beast!! looked kinda derpy with that 8ah battery but there is no denying it would run better for longer with that battery. wish i could afford to upgrade to the 40v platform but it's not on the cards right now since recently changing jobs and no longer working with timber
Australia mate. Your vids are what’s pushing me to 40v max. Insane
From UK. Love your vids, everyone else is so plane compared to you! You're far less planer than everyone else. Actually I'd say your 4.0 mil times better than other reviewers. Can't think of any more.
I too from uk
Try the word "Concise"..... i too agree... a natural salesman, as he is passionate about tools and the building trade being there himself
Its his life....
Hence, he dosent come across as false or snide, or a "con man" as every word is genuine and from the heart...
Manufacturers seek these kinds of people, as they are so valuable to product sales, and like "p.f" i think this channel will also get 3 million subscribers....
(I cant mention a competatives name on anothers channel as its just not "sportsman" and promoting another on someone elses channel is in my opinion, the height of ignorance.... so please dont ask me, as i like and respect both channels)....
(I think also refering to a person in the third person infront of them ie on their channel, can be considered atleast rude, if not offencive.....?)
So with that in mind, if i have caused any offence which was not my intention to do so, and was required by virtue of the conversation being held, then i offer my sincerest apology, and again state that, that which was said (written) was without any kind of mallace or bad feeling towards this wonderfull channel, as i have commented many times offering admiration for both creator and subsiquent content.....
I also have no bad feelings towards "kiwis" or anyones ethnicity.... 🙂.... please dont be pissed at me, i ment no halm...
Oamaru North Otago...Mine arrived yesterday all I can say is you were not wrong when you said it's a beast. Holy moly that thing is insane. I was skeptical when they claimed it was going to be 40% more powerful than the 18v version. But dang that thing leaves my old 18v in the dust... any hoo another great review bud! What next makita?!
the king is hear what an absolute beast tools. ❤💯👊
This tool review is a lot PLANER than the others 👀.
I'm just over the pond (UK) if you want to throw me a battery holder; I've just got my first house and set of Makita gear so it would be super useful 😊.
Love your vids, keep it up 😎.
Just over the pond... not from here. More like opposite side of the planet! ;)
I live in Pennsylvania U.S.A. I'm always jealous of the volume of Makita 40v tools you've got over there. We're not special enough here.
Heck homedepot doesn't even have the xgt line in store from what I've seen. Only online
same here, Philly area they don't exist. Just met a contractor with the impact and drill set with XGT, he loves it. He got it balck friday online. First time I've seen them in the wild
Alright tools mate just ordered the 40v planer don't suppose you could help me out with what makpac inlay to buy they make 2 for the 18v 180/181 but not for the 40v yet. are the bases and overall tool sizes the same where I could get away with the older inlay? Cheers bud
You really really are tempting me to get into the XGT line
Cheers from Sao Paulo, Brazil. What a nice baby.
My thoughts about 40v. On the first batch of tools they were ok. Now the newer models are good enough to replace the entire 18v line - if you need the extra power.
You've mentioned in other videos that your 4ah is weaker than your 2.5ah. In this vid the 8ah smashed the 5ah, so it's not a problem with the cells. Do you think Makita has throttled the 4ah or maybe your 4ah is dodgy (bad thermistor?)
I have multiple 4Ah and I don't like them. I think they must be throttled in some fashion.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL presumably the new digital communication allows the battery to send its max current rating to the tool. You should wire up a tool with the terminals of the 4ah, but the comms of the 5ah :-)
that might explain why makita canada is giving away the 4ah batts
@@justAnotherMike82 Makita USA's doing that as well. Home Depot and a local tool supplier are both jumping aboard that deal, and Acme's extended that deal to a buy 2 qualifying bare tools (most of em do) and get a free 4Ah.
If only they'd give away some 2.5s or 5s instead.
Should a guy steer clear of the 4ah? Here in canada a 4ah sells for 229 and a 2.5ah (if you can find one) is still 200. If its used on a hammerdrill or vaccuum, would the power duration out weigh the power loss?
Being a hardcore dewalt guy, makita is definitely bringing the goods out. Time for flexvolt planer I think, please dewalt!
Im a makita fan, but will always buy dewalt 4mm planner just due to the blade change system.
Makita is a nightmare
I have the DeWalt and I've been hoping they'll come out with a smaller version something more akin to an electric block plane but the Makita looks pretty cool.
Any plans to review the XGT reciprocating saw with AVT?
Not far away...
I thought I watched this video when it came out but evidently I didn't. I'm looking at buying this XGT planer. Pretty good price deal going in now with a free 4ah battery. But your test with the 4ah is a little disconcerting. All the "free battery" deals Makita offers for XGT are 4ah batteries. All I have are three XGT batts, all 4ah. Gonna have to bite the bullet and get at least one 5ah, or a kit with 2.5's. hmm...
Anyhoo... Looks like an awesome planer. Makita's legacy is power planers.
Great stuff! Makita 40 volt, 8 amp is amazing!
.... so is the cost.... 😂😂😂
So, when do we see the 15,000rpm earth auger?
The 8 Ah..is a Beast!!!
Awesome review with a suitable amount of gushing.
Keep em coming
I've been waiting for Milwaukee to drop a gen 2 Planer because their planer is trash. But I may have to get my first Makita. This tool is amazing!
Milwaukee have told me several times that they aren't going to make another one.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL well, I hope I'm not one to buy crap just because it says Milwaukee on it. Lol
Another good job. I plan to buy, but not 40V ... I have a lot of 18V bat ... will stay with the 18V version
Just spent 4 hours planning deck with the 18v one constantly clogging better than my corded one. So if it's better than that must be half decent. New Zealand.
14:20 the difference in power is astounding
How much does xgt planer weigh exactly with a 2.5ah battery on it
The battery amps makes such a difference, the TD001GZ with an 8ah wool look interesting
does ANYONE know potential release dates of some of these tools in the US? They fast tracked the track saw but you guys have so many more in NZ
Gosford NSW Australia -
What is the king of all tools?
The Ruler.
A very good video indeed and one I was very much awaiting. Thank you. The crosscut was very useful and I learned something too - don't do it in one pass, split it so there's no breakout on the other end.
I'm not sure why this planer could not be designed to do any depth of rebate. The bigger of the two Festool electric planers is designed to do just that. It looks like they'd just need to lop off some of the dust port and move the allen wrench. That said, there could be an issue with battery width and if so, it's not something that could be offset without doing damage to the balance of the tool.
That 3mm vs 4mm when flattening wood greater than 82mm in width seems like the only poorly designed part of the tool. While 3mm is indeed plenty and I cannot imagine why one would need to do 4mm in one pass, they still allow you to try is is a bit daft and looks like it could have been easily remedied.
Given that Makita invented the electric planer, it's good to see that they're competitive like Fein's oscillator.
Agree..... "but".... today is all about marketing and neanderthals that say "well..... my planer does a 4mm gouge whilst yours only does 3mm"......
The difference might only be 0.5 of a mm, but its still "one upmanship"....
Thats where we are today..... 😮💨.....
Nice video. After using all Makita planers in Timberframing ( the big 12" handheld) and the cordless, all i can say is the quality of the tool and the way it feels in your hand is unmatched comparatively to other brands. Actually Makita is the only manufacturer to make the larger beam planers if im not mistaken. I've used the Dewalt cordless planer and its feels cheap in the hand and does not have features of the Makita. Although, i do like the power of Dewalt's battery platform, i feel their tools are not as smooth.
Cool, it’s just as I hoped
Thanks for such a good review !
I have the 18 version you have .
I’ll get the 40 volt and sell off my dewalt 18 volt back up planer
Oh man, that's mental. Makitas 40v stuff hasn't really caught on in the US so much, but some of the 40v tools just have no competition.
They aren't anywhere to be seen in the brick and mortar stores near me (PA,NJ) but I really want to see them in person
Savage. Oracle of all things Makita 40v do you know if there is a 40v lawnmower on the way?
Yes.
Wow I love my makita tools I'm 53 and have had them from the ripe ol age of 15 ,corded cordless everything love my 40v 216mm dropsaw awesomeness theses tools should be called not makita lol I'd love those give away you talking about ,love your show keep on going hey, I live I. Australia, Victoria ,Melbourne come visit so.e time
I like the makita tools
18V Makita planer was already the best planer you could buy. I think they know the planer better than any other tools.
Just bought into the lxt platform not too long ago. Hopefully it stays relevant
You are the Best Makita Man!!😉👍😎👊
I’m all DeWALT but have a Makita planer, Makita are definitely the masters of the Planer department. There’s just something about the DeWALT one that I just can’t get used to
By any chance do you run your Makita planner with de Walt batterys and a battery converter iam looking at Makita lxt brushless planner but all my batteries are de Walt
VERY nice. IM excited 1st band saw xgt
how does it compare to the corded version in terms of power?
Awesome video! Cannot wait to get my hands on this fella
Over here in Aus the roads where i am are quite poor and the Chinese battery holders i bought snapped lol, clearly couldn't handle all those wh in the 40v batteries!
Make "aluminium pockets, or tin pockets that dont arc out if you need to run cordless tools.....
Great review !!
Thank you ✊
Отличное сравнение. С 8амперным выглядит смешно🤣🤣🤣🤣, как химера
МАКИТА РУЛИТ✊
Hi tool and staff. Thank u for the videos. I'm a regular viewer of channel here in mozambique, a country in the southwest of Africa. I do have the 18v and it does the job. Unfortunately in South africa, a country where I buy these tools the 40v platform is not available and I have to import from UK or German dealer. The problem is that by air there is a limit on the shipment of the battery and they can only ship up to 2.5h with the machine. I was thinking to go for some 40v tools and my question is how does the 2.5ah 40v battery compare to any range of 18v specially the 6ah which are battery that are available? How would really appreciate your view on that.
Thank you very much for your videos
Hey mate not sure if your still waiting for a reply, but if you are limited to amperage then definitely go the 40v range. The wattage is a lot higher with 40v 2.5amp when versus the 18v 2.5. Get more out of the 40v range
hell of a nice way to make kindling real quick.
Great video. I’ll take your 18v unit. Ship to California?
Beastly, love it
Over here out east Auckland. Banana cow. Good chat. Love ya work
For the new XGT planer can I use regular blades with it? or do I have to use the mini blades for the XGT model ?
The answer is in both of the videos you asked this on.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL this is why you’re one of the best Makita Channels. Had to re watch it to see it . Thanks really appreciate it . Keep up the good work man
Can’t find this on any site in the When will be released?
Great video as always 👍..not sure it's OK to ask on this video...im desperate for makita to bring out a 40v multi tool ...Any news on one ever happening? Cheers from the Uk
It'll happen, but don't know when.
Think I'll sell all my perfectly working 18v stuff and buy a flight over to have words with them 😃
@@paulsteventowers hopefully they're taking their time becuase they're reworking their starlock fitting to not need a pin
@@toolscientist even if its not like starlock, but like dewalt. I love their blade change system for multi tool
I live in Canada! I commented on your other video where you were giving these away, I'm not sure if this is a different one? Anyway, cheers.
Have you followed me on instagram? I will be announcing the winner there in 2 days time.
I love your vids. I am a carpenter and like Makita so watch your videos all the time.
I would like to win the battery holders and live in the Netherlands.
I only have a 240v Makita planner, but when I upgrade I know what to get.
I’ve already said it but Makita are making it hard to convince me they are going to continue with both 18v and 40v
Agreed. I think they'll transition LXT to a cheaper prosumer offering or keep it for the sub-compact line. Even if they do intend to retire LXT it won't be for a while and they'll probably keep selling batteries for at least 15 years
@@toolscientist here is hoping 👍
Mines still on pre order and can’t get it till mid may and I ordered it soon as I could get a pre order in
Can’t wait to see the 40V AVT Recipro saw review and decimation of the 40,36,18V 😫
Filming about to begin...
I'd like to buy the Makita planer.
NZ, I think you'll like this one, what's brown and sticky?
Scared to ask...
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL a stick of course, bad dad joke I know, but hey it might win me some mounts 🤞
Malaysia. I've got nothing funny to say... But I will join your giveaway just for fun, also finally 40V planer, and with 2.5Ah battery it performs very well, I don't need to get some "high output" batteries as all 40V batteries so far are high output enough for jobs
Btw, this is why the Makita XGT is really worth it in the long run imo, reliable, all batteries are high output, powerful yet smooth feeling tools, yes expensive but once you get onboard no regret(at least for me lol)
Hey men I looking to buy 40v stuff but doesn’t it hurt the machine to use a 8 ah battery on those machine and can I like putt the 8 ah battery use on the drills aswell 😂
Hurt the machine???
Mint planer & buzzing review. Would love a stealthy In Melbourne
I'd like to see a 30'' walk behind mower with a pair (or 4) of those 8 Ah batteries on it in the USA.
Lol my old hitachi corded planner only takes off half a mil in one pass 😂😂

Not available in Canada yet!
But nothing like overnight makita parts from Japan! Eats wood better than my ex wife!
Hey bro id be keen on a set of those battery holders.. Im in Adelaide across the ditch.. You should make more tear down videos whilst drinking a box of piss. Love ya vids man!
Can’t think of anything witty that would better other TOOL comments….but I would really like a set of those 40v battery holders….please 😁 Rob - Brisbane AUS 👍
When will anyone make a planer with carbide inserts instead of all current systems
That 8Ah is a beast!
Got me really hooked on this one, too bad we don't have the planer here (Denmark) yet.
I just bought an 18V grinder (DGA517) because I already had 18v batteries laying around and it was the only 18v grinder amongst all others (Except for the identical 40v type) that I like and wanted. An added bonus is that the higher end Makita 18v here is Made in Romania or UK and a few oddities made in Japan, rather than China which they are in other parts of the world. It's sad that the high end 40vs more regular tools are all made in China rather than Japan, or Romania. But I might have to look into the 40v series of tools from now on, despite the probability of them all being made in China.
Wont be too far off having 100v tools.. When the next flavour of batteries come out that are more density and energy efficient.. I love lipo's we all do.. But there not the answer moving forward, too heavy.. You only have to look at the major complaints of car and electric aircraft.. Power yes, weight a big issue..
Lipo chemistry requires significant substrate volume to achieve high power.. I've read something about some honeycomb stuff being tested that supposedly has massive potential in the future.. Id call my own bluff, but we all know where we've come from in the last 30 years.. From a floppy disc that holds a few mb's to disc less drives that hold terrabyte's and so on...
Australia, please send StealthMounts on a plane. 😁
Are makita going to bring out a sandwich press?
Just awsome
Bosch fans say : buat apa voltase di tinggi’in.tp amper hour tetap rendah
Liat kami ni,walaupun 18v tp batre kami sampe di angka 12ah 😆😆✌️
Dan bisa compertable ke semua powertools cordless kami.nah kalo makita xgt,gabisa PNP ke makita lxt apalagi cxt 😆😆
Makita fans say: How deep can your Bosch Planer cut with an 18v 12Ah Battery?
Auckland.... you sir are bad news for my bank account
Hoping that hikoki comes out with a 36v planer
Won't be long...
Also be interested in buying your planner
18v hot air do tell!???
Great video (again)! Cheers...
...just in case you're curious, too: I wonder how the 18v Makita planer would work with a Milwaukee/Bosch 8/12Ah battery. The 18v Makita tools are limited by their batteries so why not use an adapter and go _HARD?!_ 😏
Because why would you buy makita tools and then go buy all milwaukee batteries to put on them.. Makes a no sense man
@@brettwalkom948 12ah run time baby
I use Hikoki 8ah batteries with 18v Makita tools.
@@ajaymeek7218 😂😂 just don't get it.. Probably better of with milwaukee tools then.. Or go xgt like a man
@@brettwalkom948 1. have you seen the Milwaukee planer? 2. Have you seen the Makita 18V batteries? There is your answer...
If you have adapters you can choose the best tools (from any brand) and only need one battery system (ideally a brand with good batteries, f.e. Bosch, Milwaukee (Hikoki?)).
..."like a man" 😂😂😂 so you take your confidence out of your tools? Could I also do that if I'm a woman?
I come from a land down under mate 🇦🇺
But does it cut as deep as a breakup?
Still selling your 18v planer? Is it on trademe?
Haven't sold it yet. Make me an offer.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL would ya take $250 plus shipping? Im located in Levin
Are you on Instagram?
wait what, the side of the tool sticks out under the cutter bed? Ah only at 4 mill...still sucks :D
I live in the Caribbean
I am calling from Nigeria
It looked like a snail or hermit crab with that 8ah battery on it hahaha
Brisbane Qld for the stealth mounts
It goes a lot quicker than a snail with it on though.!
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL I bet. I have quite a few 40v tools and am really impressed with their performance

P.s... love all of your content.... 🙂❤️🇬🇧
The US version is model # GPK01Z
No It's GPK01. The Z just means that you are buying it as a bare tool only, not in a kit with batteries. ua-cam.com/video/GCJ4NQvJJKQ/v-deo.html
HOW MANY BLADES DOES IT HAVE AND ARE THEY GRINDABLE OR NOT?
