    No. It's not Makita. Go and change your underwear.

    Is this battery the same as or compatible with another brand like ozito etc.

    • Seems Makita

    • No but I have designed a 3d print adaptor for it on thingiverse.
      I use an ozito battery on mine

    • The product is compatible with 18V Makitabattery. √ compatible for 18V B series lithium battery,such as 1830 1840 1850

      This appears just below the "Package lncluded" section.

  • Thanks! It's a fantastic bargain if that works with my honda accord.

      I believe a car will need a bigger battery.

      • That means I'll have to get a makita's battery?

  • 1 million volts

    I purchased this tool a couple of weeks ago to budge some seized landscaping screws when the rated 140 Nm of my tired old impact driver didn't stand a chance.
    It performs reasonably well - the torque feels (as you'd expect) nowhere near the figures stated; I'd guess closer to 380 than the 'maximum' 800. The 'Chinese Lumens' effect is in full force here.
    A couple of screws still didn't want to move and required an angle-grinder slot and manual impact driver to crack, but the Violeworks was then able to turn them.
    The auto stop mode doesn't seem to do much, unless those screws were tight pretty much all the way out.
    Batteries are very light and one only lasted about 10 minutes of actual work; they have a charger socket on the actual battery and one of those wasn't properly aligned with the shell, requiring a bit of effort to plug in.

    In short, it got the job done (with a little help) and you get what you paid for.

    This video is worth watching. It's a review of a genuine Makita impact driver versus a fake Makita - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXM5bHSk2Y

    • didn't click the ink but many come up favourable , there seems to be a huge amount of knock offs, maybe I was unlucky but the one I got was pretty junk, after giving up on it I replaced it with the hideously priced ( personal opinion) Makita genuine impact

    • so, not absolute junk but not great either. battery life unknown

    • The problem is, even the knock-off Makita has many different "brands" and you never know which "brand" has good performance. So, my suggestion is, unless you know which to buy, don't expect too much on it. Just take it as a cheap tool that can do normal jobs, and it has Makita compatible battery.

  • "* Battery Capacity: 21V 10,000mAh"

    18V 1,500mAh is probably much closer to the actual specs.

    • +2

      They probably added up the capacity of 18650s inside (5 x 2Ah?).

  • Does anyone know what 'Vf' means in 288Vf?

    • +1

      seems to be more like a brand/model number of the battery

      • thx.
        I did some more googling, and came to the conclusion that it's just a meaningless string with the main (sole) purpose of confusing consumers.
        I might be wrong, but the lack of any useful information is surely confusing enough.

    • Volt-Farads?
      Voltage frequency?
      Some other meaningless nonsense?

  • for what it worth, it is fantastic. had it on job site for a year now, still runs lol

  • -3

    No

  • +1

    Have these, awesome unit. Gets off wheel nuts, suspension bolts, balancer bolts etc.

  • Cheap battery, unless it's landfill. Anybody game to charge/use these with genuine Makita charger?

    Edit: nvm, confirmed my trepidation poking around into knock-off makita copies

  • Great buy if you just need a light duty impact.
    But please, do not compare the quality of these things with the brands they're trying to replicate.

  • Has anyone received theirs? Mine doesn't look like a new item at all. There are dusts in certain area and signs of wear.

    • but does it work?

      how used (abused) does it look?

      I mean it's a power tool… one that is generally designed to take a beating anyway. I wouldn't worry about it. See if it can undo your car's wheel nuts, if yes, suck it up and move on. If no, return it.
