    Haven’t used makita bt. Have 20+ other makita going back 15yrs to brand new ones. All have worked perfectly with incredible power. Same batteries work on all of them. Have had some chargers fail but not a single tool. They get used and abused daily with no issues. Granted this is anecdote evidence.

      Curious if the brand new ones will last then. I’ve had a few friends say that the new ones break more easily than their old ones but that is also anecdotal.

        Could also depend on how they’re are used and treated. Some of my friends theirs don’t last long at all with how they use them.

        If it works for you and how you use it, then it’s the right tool.
