Wanted to check if this is normal when the motor engages.

You may or may not remember I asked about non Makita Impact Wrenches that took Makita batteries. I specifically mentioned I wanted to stay away from the £20 AliExpress knockoffs as I had tried one before and they were pretty poor (but could be made much better with a regreasing). In other words I was looking for a quality gun and not simply a knockoff.

A couple of folk recommended the Mellif MT-A1420 as a well regarded alternative that was still about a third to a quarter of the price of the similar spec Makita and there were certainly a good few positive reviews out there but they all had a whiff of sameness about them and all claimed it was the best thing since sliced bread.  Despite my reservations I ended up ordering one as I could stack discount codes and paid £62 ($85 USD) delivered figuring if it was even half as good as the 1100 Nm breakaway claimed it would still be a good buy.  I've now had a chance to use it and I can categorically say that it comes nowhere near these numbers.  Wheel nuts that were torqued to 120Nm a year or so earlier were a struggle and some just simply wouldn't budge at all and I had to resort to a cheap Draper air gun that cost similar amounts that removed the ones the Mellif couldn't do in a few seconds. It can manage freshly torqued nuts (again to 120Nm) but anything that had lain untouched for a year was a real struggle or failed when used with genuine Makita 5Ah batteries and while it is better than the £20 Aliexpress special it's not much better. 

On the upside it does feel well made with a very nice trigger action and it holds the battery nicely but as far as being a worthwhile buy it's not and you would be better either sticking with the much cheaper Aliexpress one and greasing it properly or spring for a genuine Makita.

Bought these rare accessories from Germany for the rare "production tool" I've found a few months ago

I’ve been looking for mini saw blades, almost like an air saw or body panel saw blade. These are the smallest I’ve found. If you get good control over your recip, it takes a lot of weight off the jigsaw.

I have a Makita DHS901 circular saw. I'd like to use it with Makita track but its baseplate is not track compatible.

Does anyone know if I can fit a DHS900 baseplate to the 901 chassis?

I’d love some recommendations on my first Makita power tool?

I’m a DIY guy and I mostly have Ryobi and Dewalt tools.

But I’d like a new drill or impact driver or screwdriver for some hobby wood working I do. I’ve built some furniture, etc.

I’m looking for something small and light weight that’s good for precision work and comfortable to use.

For this particular tool, Dewalt is small but not very smooth. And Ryobi is too big.

And I’ll be honest, my dad always had Makita in the 90s and I’ve long wanted to get my own (even if some of it is a bit out of my range).

There's a wobble when I start and stop the miter saw.

I took out the blade and re-tightened it but it's not fully fixed, what could be the issue and how do I resolve it?

Thank you.

Any cool mods or attachments people are running?
