did it last year. i only have 3 18V tools, no batterys left and also no charger left. started with GA023G and 2x4AH Batterys and also bought the DF001G and the LS003. A monster of a tool but its so damn cool. For 3 years i´ve used the DGA504, but the GA023G is on another lvl. if you want to switch, Do it. Tools & Stuff: is a 40V Impulse Impact driver coming? DTD141 is the only tool i still miss in 40v System. TD001 is too loud.
@@derfacecrafter1869 That would be perfect, wouldn't it? Rigid has the Stealth at 650 in-lbs with 18v. I'd hope Makita could figure out 850-900 in-lbs but keep it under 80 dB.
@@derfacecrafter1869 i dunno. I’d rather just collect cheaper 18v tools and batteries and use them until they give out. I’d switch if makita made it make financial sense.
I worked as a welder for 12 years and never used that wrench. I used up about 1 or 2 grinders per year, but I had a couple of tool less nuts that moved from machine to machine. Had enough nuts to make a necklace when I quit.

Perhaps some inventive soul will come up with an adapter so that the x-lock grinder can use standard discs. Picking up the new grinders at the store, my first thought was "heavy",
The grinders are all fine and x-lock seems good, but that dust collection on the shroud. Why didn't I know of this when I was remodeling. Forget all that other stuff, all hail the dust collection!
Maybe in a professional setting i get it, but if your not burning out discs every 10 minutes the old nut seems fine, and not worth reducing the availability of accessories
Another great video! Any news on Makita’s next generation of cordless nailers? I want to stick with one battery platform but the Milwaukee Gen 2 nailers (framing, 15/16 gauge, brads and pins) are sure looking awesome.
That X-Lock business is pretty friggin sweet. Never have seen anything like that in the US outside of the Fein / Bosch multitools. It would be great if it took off and became common among third party disc makers, especially since it's backwards compatible with the old standard style. Just the same, the grinder would be killer if it took the more common discs as well, even if an adapter was needed.
There are some companies that sell third party xlock adapters. Downside is your guard wont work as well but It will be able to use standard M14 wheels. Dont know about the quality.
I think maybe the locking mechanism isn't strong enough and/or the base of a diamond cup wheel would have to be too thin and lose strength to utilize the xlock mechanism, regular ones have female threads that screw on with no arbor nut and are very beefy at the base.
Wish makita would release a XGT 40v jigsaw don't really want to buy into another platform just for a jigsaw And when are they going to make a half inch router to compete with Hikoki/metabo hpt
I got the 125mm or 5" grinder with variable speed, AWS and larger vents, *without* the pesky x-lock mechanism. I did not get the plastic guard either... I wouldn't use it anyways.
i have both 40 & 18v grinders. the 18v is much lighter and the best for scored SWA. 40V is good for chasing walls. I'm defo thinking of buying the X-lock and selling my current XGT
Makita just keeps dropping really cool tools. I wish America had more of the useful tools like this. And I wish DeWalt would get off their asses and start creating tools and accessories that could be used like this. I mean come on DeWalt! It shouldn't take a year to release the 5ah powerstack!!

Hi Tools & Stuff, nice review for the tools and attachments. Do you know if the wire wheel is suitable for removing paint from concrete? I need to waterproof my old garage for the workshop and it seems it was painted with heavy paint.
I did that once on stone windowcills.... it was very hard to get off..... a grinding disc cuts into the stone and leaves a mess..... flap discs are useless..... the only option is burn it off with a blow gun or keep using tje wired brush on grinder...... it will take a long time to do...... sorry mate
i wonder with the aws stuff how hard it would be to take the transmitter out of one of the tools and build it into a key fob style thing and use that to turn the vac on and off. kind of like the dewalt flexi volt vac
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL thats all i ask of you. Would be very interesting if you could get a vid on it if you find away. I dont know how much power the transmitter would need but surely not much. Really dont understand why makita havent made it already
They rely on tool sales to turn the vac off.... many capable tools dont even have the transmitter chip, so you have to biy that as an extra..... open your product before you drive home, saves you driving back if it dosent have the chip inside the box of your newly urchased roduct 🙂 Its all about extra revenue.....
i would love to get into 40v makita tools but as a non professional user i still cant justify the price. a single 8ah 40v battery is allost 400 USD in US
8Ah isn't really needed for anything but a big tool and a heavy user. 4Ah is standard and works fine on all the tools, and 2.5Ah is good for light tools. I wouldn't run the grinder (or skill saw) on 2.5Ah though, as it will overheat it like the video.
Go 5amp, there nearly as good but also expensive..... Next year it will be 80v batteries with half the amperage, so people will be buying them instead...... I see how this trend is going.....
As a 1st year apprentice, which tools do you think I should invest in the 40v range? I've only got three power tools currently that are 18v (drill, impact and circ)
Grinders are handy for everything and the 40v have a ton more power than the 18v ones. The new recip is the best around and super handy. I'd say multi-tool, but they don't make one yet. 1/4" router. The planer is awesome.
Dowse that piece of metal with car "rust eater" it will be cheaper that yhe grinding discs you use, do a more througher job and re coats the metal against re rusting...... paint with hammerite anti rust paint when dry, and they give you 8 year gurantee against re rusting 🙂👍🏻 Happy to help....
thats why you get the milwaukee nut for grinders... just flip the lid and twist if sits on too tight.. ofc need have the offset angle mil key.. will always be one that twist them on too tight ^^

x lock is waymore expensive. I get a pack of 50 cutting discs for some 25 bucks. Changing them takes seconds. People that use the tool for changing the discs need to find another job.

You need the wrench for when the new guy uses the wrench to put the disc on.

There is a adapter raize xlock adapter but i dont know why you would do that disks are way out from the gaurd.

I just ordered that tuck point guard before seeing this video, and my jaw dropped when I saw that it is a plunge cutter, can't wait till it comes!
Your neighbors must love you.
Did you ever measure the circumference of the handles? Looks like the LXT is much bulkier than the standard 40V?
Maybe in a professional setting i get it, but if your not burning out discs every 10 minutes the old nut seems fine, and not worth reducing the availability of accessories

AWS works no matter the voltage. You can run 18v tools on a 40v vac and vice versa.
Bummer that Makita does not have a x-lock grinder with both the paddle switch and variable speed 😿
I never use a wrench on any conventional grinder. Not needed. X-lock is great none the less.
