Are there any power tools available as a similar alternative to De-walt/Makita at a lower cost?
try jmb power tools, they used to be available via index store catalogues however you should be able to get them at
www.lxdirect.com
these are mega cheap and really easy to use.
Can also use shopzilla on the net and type in the kind of tool you want and it will bring a list of what is available from certain stores
Hope this helpsxx

compatible batteries for makita power tools?
i have a makita hammer drill bhp452 and it takes a bl1830 and 1815 lith ion battery 18v 3000mah. my question is are there other compatible batteries available that would work as well , besides the makita brand?
Generally they are a proprietary pattern (meaning non-interchangeable). HOWEVER, we have a franchise in town called Batteries+Plus that can rebuild the internals. The internal cells are all the same. Last time I was in there, the guy was supergluing several cells together to rebuild something.
In medium to lower priced tools, the competition is stiff enough for the tools, but once you’ve bought it, they have no competition in the replacement batteries. As much as I hate it, it’s often cheaper to buy a new kit with two batteries, charger, and a tool or two than to buy two replacement batteries from the mfr. Some companies, Ryobi, have unbundled the batteries from the tools and you buy the tools and batteries separately, unless you are getting the 9 piece kit in a bag.
My husband bought Ryobi drill set,but now its not good enough & he wants Makita drill set which one is better?
I want to know which one is better or if there about the same and your just paying for the name. please if someone can answer my question that would be great.
I would put these two brands in the same range. If he really wants to move up, Dewalt is indeed very good, as are Bosch, and Porter Cable also quite good.
First trials after setting up the super surfacer.I was wondering how much i should sell a brand new Makita Angle Grinder for?
I have to that i got for free and i allready have one so I dont need these two. One of them is a 5" and the other is 4-1/2". They have never been used and are in the origanal package. They havnt even been taken out of the box. What would you buy pay for them if you were going to buy them on e-bay?
$35-40 dollars, but I would be suspicious.

Do the power tool manufacturer, Makita, make tools under any other brand name? If so, which one?
I think Skil power tools are made by Bosch? Less expensive versions but still good quality tools… Was hoping to find out if Makita do the same kind of thing?
Yes they do it’s called Maktec, suitable for heavy DIY/ light trade, tends to be all the slightly old technolgy in a red case
what kind of grease do i use to lube my makita jackhammer?
i have a makita jackhammer and its time for it to be greased. Only i dont know what type to use. Help
When in doubt, check the operator’s manual. Makita should have this information on its website.
