I recently moved into a rental with decent sized yard, was gonna buy your typical 4 stroke mower but figured I’m already in the ecosystem with my impact driver & drill so went and purchased a second hand Makita lawn-care package on marketplace, which included a DLM535 mower, DUR190L snipper and DUB184 blower… plus 5-6ah batteries, charger etc.
So far it’s been a fantastic buy and cannot fault a thing (this was expected tbh), but nothing could prepare me for the blower… this thing is like having a fucking cyclone in the palm of your hands. I went around my backyard like an idiot just blowing stuff around for half an hour, then turned a long monotonous sweep of the carport into a full on controlled weather event that’s basically over in 10 seconds and did a far better job.
Even going from my work Milwaukee M18 impact driver to my FIL’s Makita I had a similar reaction and was amazed by how natural it felt in the hand. So refined, not unnecessarily heavy or any dumb power like the Milwaukee had, just bloody brilliant… I do like both though!

Only in QLD would failing to dim your high beams attract a $66 fine, while driving around without your lights on at night is a $166 fine and speeding <10km/h over is $333.
Idk how many times you guys have been blinded by some cunt with his high beams and light bar on but it sure as fuck felt closer to $1,251-level dangerous.
Seems strange that some fines have increased by 3x in the past few years while others… haven’t been touched in 30 years. I’m a little pissed as some fella in a patrol tonight was heading the opposite direction and didn’t even touch his light bar/headlights. Just no fucks given… and our penalties reflect it perfectly.
