Had mine almost 2 years to the day, bear in mind it doesn't get used in the winter its probably done less than one weeks continuous use in its two years.....well today the rear axle just collapsed! Absolutely shocking....taking a closer look the rear axle enters the wheel hub an its on a spindle of about 3 mm ....total garbage!
@tuatua9029 Thank you for sharing your experience. That's really not nice to hear! I hope it's not a design fault. Have you already contacted Makita support and described the problem? Best regards
Same here! Had mine 2 years and a couple of months, and the rear axle just collapsed in the same place as you! Looks like a weld gave up. Unfortunately can't easily find the replacement part online. Frustrating.
@martinblenstrup366 I apologize for the inconvenience. That's right, I'm still working on editing the English video version for the DLM382. That's why it's not yet available on my channel...

I can’t find your video off 382 ? Only the 330..

the motor is brushed
Many thanks for the tip and correction! You are right, the motor is not brushless, but brushed!....👍🏽
