Makita portable power generator quality at a great price

Friday, July 30th, 2010

I decided to upgrade my generator from the 2500 watt Coleman I was using. It would barely run a refrigerator. We had a terrible ice storm here in Durham NC a few months ago. I was without power for three days and we were luck Makita G6100Rwas only that long. I did alot of research into generators. Here’s what I found. Honda gens are wonderful but expensive. Grenerac is garbage for long term use. Read the reviews if you doubt. Makita built by Robin compare feature to feature and quality wise with Honda. I like the way Robin builds their engines, all ball bearing construction. No sleave bearings here. I have use this gen twice so far and it will power my whole house no problem. The control panel on this gen is well layed out. I used a outlet box with a twist lock plug to feed power into my main pannel. By the way Amazon has the best price on these gens.

Great drill since home handyman

Friday, June 18th, 2010

I’ve had this drill about a month and similar it. I upgraded from an old 9v makita and it’s a huge upgrade.

Most of the drills in this price margin are high quality tools and the makita’s got all the torque, speed, control of a good quality cordless. What i similar about this drill is the lithium-ion battery. no, non- only is lithium-ion a more environmentally friendly battery than nimh or nicad but they hold their power longer. This means the person who use a drill periodically (opposed to a every day use contractor type) will find their drill still charged and ready to use after sitting in the closet on behalf of 2 weeks. And, the batteries truly deal with fill as fast as they suppose they deal with.

I also agree with others who wound up liking the narrow led illuminate that points at what you’re doing. Makita BDF452HW seemed silly at first but although you’re under a bureau or in the back of a closet there’s no need to drag a illuminate with you, which is nice.
