Hard Testing of Makita's new outdoor power tools

What happens here

The presenter introduces the Makita backpack power supply, highlighting its versatility. It can power a wide range of Makita 36V tools, including miter saws, circular saws, reciprocating saws, blowers, and even 18V tools like drills, impact drivers, grinders, and lights with an adapter. The system automatically selects the two best batteries out of four to power the tools, then cycles to the next pair when the first set is depleted. This battery system is praised for extending run time and allowing users to utilize their existing Makita 18V batteries across a broader range of tools.

Goal: Understand the capabilities and benefits of the Makita backpack power supply.

tool I've never actually seen Sam quite as excited to do a product video as this one using this the last couple of job sites as their new battery pack system and I love it I absolutely love it but there is a some kind of cool about this is you can run any of these any Makita battery powered tool you can run off of this this is detachable actually so you can run like the miter saws and all that kind of stuff - off of this you don't have to have it be a backpack system but what I was doing a little reading on this and so essentially there's a brain in this thing so say you're using one of these 36 volt tools like you know the sawzall what this will do is select the best two batteries out of the Ford and run that sawzall off of those two first when those two batteries die then it will cycle to the other two and run off of those but there's an adapter on it where you can run all of just the 18 volt tools so you know drills impacts the grinder okay I'll be the first person to admit I've been on record Reagan on maketo for only having one size of battery and and all that and I gotta I gotta take all that back I get it [Laughter]
