Gday

This video is a long one, we take a look at the Fake Makita brushless Grinders that are out there on sites like eBay, wish, bang good and all the other dropshipping harbours.

I know @AvE has already looked at the Fake Makita Driver that is out there for sale. So if you want to see a more knowledgeable take on these tools check it out here -

But i could not help myself when i came across this knock off 18v Makita Brushless grinder. I had purchase one and give it a go.

Compared to my old Brushed 18 volt grinder it actually holds up really well. The tool is well balanced and the outer construction is pretty strong/sturdy. I was particularly taken back by the feel and the construction of the mould for the grinder. A Lot of work and money has been put into this theft/Forgery

The thing that holds me back giving this a good review as a cheap money saving tool is that morally its wrong. There is none of the money made from this tool going back into Makita's design team. The tool has no safety features built in to protect your batteries from overheating/under-voltage.

But it is interesting and it puts pressure on some of these "pro" gamer tool manufactures to step up the game to compete with the knock off. You need to know your getting a decent product if your going to spend 300 instead of 60

As always thanks for watching
