the "Weird" new Makita Tools for 2022

What happens here

The video then transitions to an introduction by Stanley from Dirt Monkey Force, who sets the stage for testing the newest power tools from Makita at World of Concrete. This leads into a direct demonstration of the Makita XGT 80V Max Power Cutter, an advanced concrete saw. This tool features a 5-inch cutting depth and is powered by an innovative 'X2 concept', utilizing two 40V Max 8.0Ah batteries simultaneously to deliver 80V of power, offering comparable performance to gas-powered saws. The presenter emphasizes that the biggest selling point is the power, which is not only immense but also very constant, allowing for efficient cuts. The power cutter is equipped with advanced features such as electric brakes for quick stops, anti-feedback technology to prevent kickback, a soft-start function for smooth operation, and LED lights for improved visibility. It runs a 14-inch blade and comes with a fully integrated aluminum wheel kit for easier maneuverability during long cuts. A live side-by-side demonstration against a Stihl TS420 gas-powered saw effectively showcases the Makita power cutter's superior and constant power during heavy-duty concrete cutting, highlighting its efficiency and ease of use without the need for gas or emissions. This product is expected to ship in summer (June-July) and will include two 8.0Ah batteries and a dual-port charger as part of the kit.

Goal: Showcase the power, features, and performance of the Makita XGT 80V Max Power Cutter.

translate to better performance we believe so you know all of our testing that you see as you walk around the booth and our claims on our tools yeah we test that in our factories in our engineering studios with makita power tool accessories all right guys welcome to today's video we're going to be testing out the newest power tools from makita we're at world of concrete and these guys are getting ready to do their first demonstration five inch uh depth cutting depth okay we're competing we're showing performance versus gas today we've got the still ts420 to basically show that it delivers on power that's the biggest selling point right there's all these bells and whistles about it there's electric brakes there's uh anti-feedback technology that stops the wheel when it binds there's soft stars there's leds right all these pool belts and whistles but the biggest selling point about this power cutter is the power aspect and the only way we're going to prove that is is if we let the user remind themselves what gas field and what our tool feels like so the power is not only there but it's also very constant right if you can really deliver on the economy efficient get the cut dock done newly unveiled as well as 8 amp hour battery okay so we're going with the x2 console where we're putting two 40 volt batteries both half hour on the tool to get not only the power but the runtime this is a dual battery powered it runs 240 amp hour batteries both are plumb full up against the steel ts-420 both are ran by makita wraps so just take that into consideration [Applause] okay [Laughter] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Laughter] [Applause] oh all right well that's the new battery powered chop saw is this out yet no not yet uh expected shipping in the summer june july time frame june july okay and will that come with the two batteries yeah kid's gonna come with two eight amp hour batteries and do a four charger and this runs a 12 inch blade or a 14 inch blade 14 14. all the cool features like uh electric brake soft start led anti-feedback technology in case of the wheel binds up it's not going to kick back on you right mostly when you're cutting metal type of application so yeah wheel kit fully integrated aluminum wheel kit built in what's the price point on this saw price point right now still undetermined and when will it be available july 2 july time frame june july all right there you go by new by makita thank you david
