Makita Quick Charger

★★★★★
5.0

"Charger works very well. A welcome upgrade from the standard charger that came with the set. Fast charge allows me to keep working without interuption, and helps because I don't need as many batteries when using multiple tools(drill, circular saw, impact driver, etc.) Definitely recommend. "

"For the Tradesperson in New Zealand: Be aware that if you use this 120v charger on big job sites, you have to get it tagged that it's safe and that you'll continually have to do this.
