I like my Makita’s, got a few sales right and now have a small stack of batteries, more than I’ll ever need. I am toying with getting a second 1/4” driver though. One for the wood workshop and one for the garage, only because I know I’ll get anything in the garage covered in motor oil.
I am not in love with the tire inflator though. It works but I feel like it’s not as good as it ought to be…. You can’t squeeze the trigger with a psi level set, and walk away while it inflates—the trigger has no hold/lock feature. Not only that but it always undershoots: I I set to 30psi, stop, wait a couple seconds and it drops to 28.5 or so. Probably just the way it is, the pressure gauge is on the wrong end of the hose. The inflator is worth having, don’t get me wrong, but I wouldn’t have it if I didn’t have the other Makita tools.
