Sod Makita, switch to Milwaukee. Knocks the spots off Makita for everything I need bar the grease gun and the rebar tying machine.

I’ve got a load of Makita stuff (including a couple of chainsaws that we use in the local zoo) and am generally happy with how it performs for my use - I’m not rushing to add a load more batteries and chargers into the confusion just yet!!!

Makita still win on availability though. Can always get Makita kit somewhere for a huge percentage of their range. Whereas a lot of Milwaukee is still next day.
If you break something in a morning that can be 24hrs before you can get back to work.

Not been my experience on the 3/4 impact wrench Ive found on two separate occasions. Despite the Milwaukee torque claims

Anyone else found makita 6amp batteries a bit loose in some tools? I've got 3, bought at different times from ITS so all legit and not the same batch.
Sometimes, very occasionally the tool seems to cut out, I have to give them a shake/put them back in and they're fine. Happened in a few different tools, never happened with 5amp
But I am still perfectly happy with all my 18v makitas, although I do now have a brilliant 18v milwaukee impact wrench and a couple of batteries, so if and when any red 18v stuff is needed it can be bought

I've run both. The 3/4 makita used to be used all the time, now I've switched the 3/4 Milwaukee is only used rarely when the 1/2" won't do it.

We’ve had the switches play up on most of the red stuff. 50/50 on motor failures between red and green.

Just to follow this up, seems like it's actually a little bit of wear in some of the tools.Anyone else found makita 6amp batteries a bit loose in some tools? I've got 3, bought at different times from ITS so all legit and not the same batch.

There's a little pin/clip/terminal in the base of the tools, little bend inwards with a screwdriver and then gently put the battery in, works as good as gold afterwards.
