I have to special order the good stuff from Japan sometimes cause they just last longer. But that is the nature of the beast, to produce stuff for cheaper to get more sales now. Everything is plastic parts now also, cheaper and lighter is not always better. Look for the pink Makita cordless stuff 👀

    • @AlexKall
      @AlexKall Місяць тому +7

      If it was project farm he just had different models. The Japanese one was a newer model, hence why it performed better. He's been made aware of it but he doesn't seem to care to make a sticky comment or make a note of it in the description. Japan however gets the new models before the rest of the world, and by quite the margin.

      @@N1rOx I did find a test on the TD172 but he referenced the "US equivalent" XDT16, which is the previous model. The US equivalent to the TD172 (DTD172 in Europe) would have been XDT19, which wasn't released at that time, Makita tools are always released first in Japan. You can get TD173 in Japan now, you can not get that model elsewhere yet (unless they have just released it and I've missed it). The next model will generally be better than the previous model.
      It would be equivalent to comparing a Milwaukee Gen 3 to a Gen 4 and saying the Gen 4 was better than the Gen 3 because it was made in the US (example), it was better because it was a newer model.
      The difference to Project Farm is that that Torque Test Channel acknowledges they are not the same model but a new and an old model in the pinned comment, something Project Farm, last time I checked, has refused to do.

    13:11 its a reamer, it can be used on a mill, or a very accurate drill press it is to size a hole and make it round most holes are slightly egg shaped from a drill bit just the way they cut but if your making precession parts you need a remer to stay in tolerance. These deffently should not be stored loose in a box it will dull them also.
    They should be stored in a cardboard tube. Or plastic tube.
    You can also use them on a lathe.

    Battery Makita stuff, the prices are like 15%-40% off. But no warranty
    A lot of the makita prices are hard to judge because makita has so many tools that look exactly the same but like one driver will submersible or for use around High voltage or have a much better motor and be more expensive. Also we in the US get a much smaller selection of Makita tools than everywhere else and the JDM tools are made to Slightly higher standard.

    I like Japan but its too far away for a tool shopping spree and I can find similar stores in florida.

    Love rummaging through second hand stores ... problem is restraining oneself from not buying everything that looks interesting

    The "cheap" tools outside imo aren't that cheap. I've seen new tools only a few dollars more. Yes cheap brands, but with at least 1 years warranty as a minimum. For example here in Australia you can buy a jigsaw for $30Au which is $19.50 usa.

    I'd love to see tours of places that sells knicks tool belts fujia vessel studs from a usa non translated view. I watch electrical work tuber all the time but alot can be lost in subtitles and translation. They love our usa tools but I want to see there's since I'm already importing what I can already. I wanna know how much a proper knicks tool belt cost at least.
