    Hey guys. I am loving this tool! Glad I am not the only one who thought that screw was ridiculously long. I think I agreed with everything you said in the review. Keep up the good work.

      Tools & Stuff Thanks mate, I watched your review and we were very similar in our thoughts lol. But yeah I think it's a very well excecuted tool. (Mike)

      Even my wife loves it and is using it for some crafty things. I might need to buy another one ;)

    Hands down! This is one of the best battery routers I have bought this year!

    Got one recently - it is a beast. Looking at the plunge too, but its a fair wedge of cash.

  • @pbonear

    There is a screw adjustment to make the base a little stiffer. Right on the side of the flip over latch. It's the first thing I did after testing mine out. Great review

    • @OZToolTalk
      @OZToolTalk  7 років тому +2

      Paulie Bonear Yeah I saw that and decided it was a trade off between quick slip on/off and having it not move as easy when adjusting. I'll see how I go but I think I'll end up giving that lock nut a tweak. 👍🏼
      You happy with your unit overall ? (mike)

    • @pbonear
      @pbonear 7 років тому +2

      Oz Tool Talk mike oh yea man. I'm petty much making up excuses just to use this baby. I would really love to get that plunge base accessory but I live in canada and it's difficult too find these things right when they come out. Overall though I'm very impressed with its power and visibility of cut. Battery life is usually a given on makita brushless tools

    • @OZToolTalk
      @OZToolTalk  7 років тому

      Paulie Bonear lol nothing wrong with that :).
      I'd love the plunge base just to have it in case, but the fact I have 3 other plunger routers makes it a hard justification.
      Makita's batteries had a bad patch a few years ago but I've got nothing but good things to as about the for the past 5years+
      👍🏼

      If you leave a bit of pressure on the cam clamp when you’re adjusting the height it doesn’t slide as easy and makes it easier to do fine adjustments.

    I bought the corded version a few months ago, I reckon it's the best tool I've ever had, so smooth. Cordless is very tempting though.

    • @OZToolTalk

      James Witty CUT THE CORD !
      Glad you like the corded version, mine has always been super, bit of course I love cordless ! (Mike)

  • @shifty277

    About time a cordless router came out! Great tool and great implementation of cordless. Thanks for the review and effort.

    • @OZToolTalk
      @OZToolTalk  7 років тому +2

      Ryan Cooper Yeah this is the third on the market but boy have they done a good number on it !(mike)

    • @shifty277
      @shifty277 7 років тому +2

      Oz Tool Talk didnt do my research to see if other brands had cordless out so hands up there! Great to see a makita one though this will probably get purchased in body only. Great use of cordless!

  • @pasinen
    @pasinen 7 років тому +3

    Actually Makita's FIRST cordless trimmer(and probably world's first cordless router) is: 3700D 7.2V Cordless Trimmer. Made about 20 years ago. :)

    • @OZToolTalk
      @OZToolTalk  7 років тому +1

      pasinen WOW so true !, I've never seen that. And it has a full clear base too which I love. Thanks for the info 👍🏼
      I can't believe I've never seen that. (Mike)

    • @pasinen
      @pasinen 7 років тому +3

      Makita was two decades ahead of its time!! And all the Ryobi fanboys are saying that ryobi invented and made the world's first cordless router....

  • @penlandia03
    @penlandia03 7 років тому +1

    Another great review! Just got a corded Hitachi m8sa2 as a first router. Though this cordless is tempting... maybe makita will become my new 18v line... thanks Mike and Dwain!

    • @OZToolTalk
      @OZToolTalk  7 років тому

      [Dwain] I have a Makita model much the same size and power as that Hitachi. I really like the compact plunge models :)

  • @hughjanus3235
    @hughjanus3235 7 років тому

    Interesting review. Re. micro adjuster suggestion (@12:30 ), perhaps laying the router down horizontally for fine adjustment would help avoid the dropping problem?

    • @OZToolTalk
      @OZToolTalk  6 років тому

      Tony Y yep good solution. 👌🏻

  • @alfiemcspitfire5323

    On a related note, I wonder if Hitachi will ever produce another trim router, cordless or not.
    6:16 Bless you!

    • @OZToolTalk
      @OZToolTalk  7 років тому +2

      Dan A We were discussing that exact thing... SURELY they will have one in the pipeline. (Mike)

  • @nickm2724
    @nickm2724 7 років тому +2

    Almost identical to the mains version ,which is also a good unit,Ido find the height adjust on the Makita to be a bit clunky ,the Dewalt method is a lot better from what I've seen,although all routers scare the bejesus out of me

    • @OZToolTalk
      @OZToolTalk  7 років тому

      Nick M HAHA yeah I have a nice scar that reminds me to respect ALL routers. I've never minded the adjustment for the powered unit but I think the extra weight of the battery on top made me more aware. Still a big fan though. (Mike)

  • @spunktrpunkt1117
    @spunktrpunkt1117 6 років тому

    Good as gold mate! Does this router has actually the same 8mm collet as the rt700? I heard it's single split collet can be a quite awkward to get out and doesn't tight that well....

  • @TheWarehunter
    @TheWarehunter 7 років тому +3

    Not available over here :/ ... how about you guys send me that one? I'm pretty sure the batteries i already got will work just fine :D
    i know, i know...patience. breathe in....breathe out. Great video - cant wait for the tool to be released in Germany as well.

    • @OZToolTalk
      @OZToolTalk  7 років тому

      fazmano1 thanks mate, you will love it. The square base would have a code but I don't know It sorry. If you ask for the square base it should be simple. (Mike)

    Excellent...what bits/cutters (brands) would you recommend?

    • @OZToolTalk
      @OZToolTalk  6 років тому

      George McKnight (mike)
      Thanks George,
      Depends where you are from but I personally use mostly carbitool bits. A lot of companies have good bits so You can’t really go wrong unless you buy the $10 ‘value’ pack.(Not a fan)

    • @GeorgeMcKnight
      @GeorgeMcKnight 6 років тому

      Thanks Mike...been a cordless Makita user for a number of years now and just making the dip into the router/trimmer scene, so this tool makes a lot of sense, along with carbide tools, thanks for your recommendation

  • @Angelspotter
    @Angelspotter 7 років тому +2

    Any idea how long time the battery is expected to last. I run 1,5Ah batteries. Will it be too small for a router?

    • @OZToolTalk
      @OZToolTalk  7 років тому +1

      Anders Hansen I didn't do a runtime test but running a 6.0 on it at the time of review gave me a STACK of time.
      I don't Believe it will accept the 1.5 (has a plastic block)
      Makita has a crazy thing about using slims on 1/2 of they're range. Whilst I get it that they don't want high drawing tools running slims and getting say 10min runtime id still love for them to allow it.

    • @OZToolTalk
      @OZToolTalk  7 років тому

      [Dwain] having said that, the power draw of this tool will heat up your slims really fast. not good for them and will run out real fast. Go get some large batteries mate :)

    • @Angelspotter
      @Angelspotter 7 років тому

      Thanks for the answers. I will probably get one or two 5.0Ah batteries, especially if I'm getting the trimmer...I'm just looking for the right project to justify the buy :-)

    @antmontey2169 7 років тому

    how does it compare to the aeg one? which ones better in your opinion?

    • @OZToolTalk
      @OZToolTalk  7 років тому +2

      (Mike) Personally i would go the Makita. I think it feels nicer and i like it has more metal. On the power front the AEG isn't far behind so its ALMOST a 50/50 decision. If you are on Makita batts then of course you would go here without any hesitation.
