battery makita 5090 dw

1. Posted: Apr 12 2008

   I am very fond of my old Makita stick style tools. The Nicad batteries keep their charges a remarkably long time even though stored in the garage. They just keep on going. The stick style suits my petite hands unlike the boxy batteries that I can barely get my hand around to remove. The drills got a good work out on my new deck. Also love that little circular saw. And the hedge trimmer comes in handy a couple of times a year. Thought about upgrading to the new Makitas (that drill is smooth!) but I just can't justify the cost when the old tools continue to perform so well. And by the way I am at least the second owner of all these tools. Love Makita.

   My new makita drill came with the new nimh batteries which would not hold a charge for more than five minutes so I am switching back to the old style nicads which have served me well through many years of use. I have three of the batteries and they are great. I have two of the new type batteries and they are junk.

   I just used it for remodeling some cabinets and did a great job in tight places.
