What else would be interesting is the split shaft Makitas vs the dedicated Makita trimmers with the front-mounted motor. The specs indicate a higher max RPM on the split shaft models.
From what I can understand, the 18v model has twice the battery time usage (as it uses only one 18v battery) compared to the 36v model, and both "ALMOST" have the same power, right?
Due to the 36V drive, the DUX60 of course has more power and at maximum power the two batteries also run out more quickly. In terms of power, however, I have to say that the 36V device is a tad more powerful than the 18V device! 😉👍🏽
@ViliusJasaitis thanks for the comment! Yes, that is correct. I haven't gotten around to editing the individual videos yet, but will do so gradually. In order not to miss a new video, I would recommend subscribing to my channel and activating the bell :) Best regards
36v vs 40v. Hardly any difference there. The main advantage is not needing to have two 18v batteries connected in series to get more voltage. The problem is a large portion of Makita tool owners have lots of 18v batteries and tools since they stayed put for decades on that platform. They weren't making gardening equipment until recent years. Honestly Makita waited too long to move up to higher voltage batteries. It almost seems like they should've went even further with 60v batteries like many competitors have.
That's right! I agree with that! For the end user, it's a knock to the head if you already own a lot of 18V batteries. Thankfully, the 18V system will continue to run in parallel with the 40V system! :)
I have about 12 18volt Makita tools, and 3 newer ones on the new platform. Because the same charger can charge both battery voltages with an adapter it’s easy to swap them. And the new tools are a real joy to use. Especially the sds drill and the miter saw. Makita is still a good choice. Just compare specs, weight versus power, etc. Some tools are power hungry and some others don’t need the higher voltage, like the impact drivers.
Don't forget that there are regular XGT batteries and there are F ones. In this test, BL4040 was used, but it can "only" produce 1,5 kW of power, whereas the updated BL4040F, while slightly smaller, produces 2,1 kW (same as BL4050F) and would probably give a bigger advantage to the XGT tool in this particular test. On the other hand, the nature of battery technology is such that it is doomed to evolve relatively rapidly for quite a while. The industry has been driving the Li-ion train for many years now and that is bound to end sooner rather than later. As everybody starts moving from Li-ion towards solid state and alternative chemistry batteries, even the XGT ones will inevitably become obsolete due to higher cost, larger size, overheating and other disadvantages. This is cool, but at the same time very frustrating. Corded electric tools have no such disadvantage. I just hope that the upcoming batteries will have some sort of backwards compatibility with the current tools and I will be able to use my XGT ones for decades (I'm not a heavy user), but you can never know :(((
Not so, check out the pole saw comparison. Considerable difference. I imagine the line trimmer is better, too. Also, the 40v mowers are actually usable.
@GliptoneZadbane-Auto Many thanks for the praise and support! 😉💪🏼 I would also opt for the 18 V device if I am already well positioned in this segment and need a handy multifunctional drive. Best regards
@GliptoneZadbane-Auto yes, unfortunately the devices deactivate automatically within a few seconds if the trigger is not operated. This is built in by Makita for safety reasons, but it can be a bit annoying in the long run... :/ Best regards
@sam-ww1wk sorry, I can't understand the excitement about this voice...🤔 What's so bad about it? I think the speaker's voice is super professional and clear. You rarely hear that
@@TechIllusion-EN I'm just teasing. Yeah, it's actually works well. Guessing you're not from the States. It's common for us here to joke about this stuff. Thanks for the vid. Love my Makita stuff. the 18v stuff is so good compared to the competition, you can usually get away with the 18v. My 18v top handle saw is my favorite tool. Thinking of getting the 18v pole saw/trimmer combo.
@sam-ww1wk Haha okay. No, that's true. I'm from Germany, have a German channel and now in the process of setting up an EN channel. I didn't know that this is so common in the States 😂👍🏼 It's important to me that the viewers are satisfied with my videos and that's why I take criticism and suggestions for improvement to heart! I have already recorded a video about the chainsaw attachment: ua-cam.com/video/OXVvtE6qmeo/v-deo.html Best regards
ROBOT VOICE IS SO ANNOYING. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it feels like i'm being lied to right off the bat. As I write this, it sounds like he also used chat gpt to write this.
@bobcougar77 Neither the voice nor the script is created with an AI! My main channel is German (ua-cam.com/channels/1EZNNj_Pxd4--79hhLzpvQ.html) and I've been working on translating the videos into English for a while now. For this I rely on a professional broadcast speaker and the editing afterwards is also done manually. There is no ai included in my complete workflow 😊👍🏼 Best regards
@TommyBraas If you listen to their voices more closely, you can tell whether they are AI or not. Nowadays, an AI voice is not able to speak like a real person. Especially with complicated sentences, an AI voice cannot keep up. Intonation, pauses in sentences etc. all sound a bit strange. Best regards

Thank you for your thoughts on this! Probably I will do some dedicated videos for the split shaft models next year :)
Anyone got experience? Also very interested and havent found a comparison video

I'd definitely go with the 40V system, which I did.

Glad to hear that you like the effort!

Nice test man! I would like 18 v model for more universal
@GliptoneZadbane-Auto Many thanks for the praise and support! 😉💪🏼
I would also opt for the 18 V device if I am already well positioned in this segment and need a handy multifunctional drive.

@@TechIllusion-EN I have a question for you. When you have pressed upper button (but not the trigger) will the device turn off as well in few seconds?
