What happens here

The presenter highlights Makita's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) by demonstrating cordless drills and a cordless chainsaw submerged and running underwater. He reminds viewers of previous tests where tools were dunked in water or frozen, but this demonstration goes further by having the tools continuously running in a water-filled tank. This showcases Makita's sealed internal components, ensuring durability and functionality even in harsh, wet conditions, exceeding typical waterproofing standards.

Goal: Demonstrate the extreme water resistance and durability of Makita XPT cordless tools

Tools and materials

  • Makita Cordless Chainsaw — Demonstrating water resistance while running
  • Makita Cordless Drills — Demonstrating water resistance while running
  • Water Tank N/A — Submerging tools for the water resistance test
  • Water N/A — Submerging the tools

comments below. A lot of times, you know, guys, you've seen me dunk them in water. You've seen me freeze them overnight, pull them out. You've seen me pull these things apart piece by piece to show that all the components inside are sealed. These guys are going to be running these for 5 days underwater. 5 days they still run. Put it back in the water. So, he's actually running it underwater with the batteries in it. When I did my underwater test, I took the batteries out, submerged the tool, then took the tool back out and put the batteries in it and ran it. He's actually doing it both at the same time. [Music]
