Makita 7910 made in Japan?

[Orangeinthebarn]

saw sticker on 7910 said Japan? Are the 7900 Makita made in Germany? I thought these were both German made Dolmar

I'd say made in Germany unless they changed very recently. Both mine are German made.

Hamburg/Germany made, but Makita/Japan owned!

I think I have noticed that the stickers no longer say "Made In ---"

was thinking of getting one Baileys has powerhead for $711. was going for new ms462 but stumbled on the deal at Baileys?

Honestly, I don't think they're worth it . . .

 

[Wilhelm]

. . . they just don't handle short bars very well . . .

Yep, none of the Dolkitas have any guts.

 

[P.M.P.]

Mines slow should've got two to keep up

It wouldn't surprise me if they changed production to Japan. I have some little TH Makitas made in Japan that are not sold in the states.

They've moved some production to China. The new 4300s are coming from there, I think the smaller stuff too.

Kinda sad other than Stihl there ain't much saw production in Germany these days.

It's Germany's own fault, they elected there politicians, soon more and more will be leaving or switching to battery power.

Yeah...I'm not much of a fan of that chancellor Angela Merkel.
