so today we're looking at this it's the Makita ADP05 USB charging adapter
where you've been buying from the key and now gordon
well you know how it goes gary you're on a well-known online retailer that does
next day free delivery and something pops into you might like this because you've bought
other things on there and i thought yeah well yeah give it a try this is a really useful tool so it
adapts your existing power tool batteries right in this case from the Makita LXT range so 18-volt batteries
and you get two uh usb charging ports on it so that's hence the device you've got in front of
us we're obviously going to be using the battery from our drill not to do work with but to charge
our devices that mean we don't do any work is that right that's right good idea then isn't it yeah
yeah right what do you want to start with well well yeah okay you mentioned the existing power
tool yeah we can't use it with the drill because it doesn't work on a 40 volt battery right okay
hopefully they do bring one out but uh i'll have to obviously take the battery which is
on our multi tool but before i get to that gary ever since i left it with you yeah
we've never been able to get the tools square again on the top of they have with just you
know somehow just yeah it's a triton square um hole saw we've done a review on that but just
put it up straight for me just let's um yeah yeah what you've done to it well what have you done if
you've got any tips on how we can get this back to back to a straight line top dead center yeah yeah
drop drop a comment in below but yeah today we're going to look at the battery right okay
so i'll just remove the battery from there and it's going to go in line with this clip here
okay let's hope it is so here's our charging adapter yep here's our battery okay 18 volt
we said it works with three hour version on there okay and you've got two us ah
yeah we'd like them to be c's in the future wouldn't we obviously yeah i mean this has
been out for a while and obviously yeah a lot of devices have gone to usbc right okay so what you
can do first you've got that little power stick again yeah so this is our little usbc tester a usb
tester um obviously with an air socket on the end okay yeah we're just going to put that in there
almost have to turn it over because our display works the other way up and there's a little power
switch on here to put switch on just show us that power switch again i didn't quite see that
ah right okay yeah see you guys on our function there so this is going to tell us what it's going
to kick out yeah yeah so let's try it with some of the common devices that we use now obviously let's
remember when we're usb charging a lot of the time it's obviously the device you're charging that
tells the charger how much uh how much power to push out communicates between the two and then
allows the power so this is we've got an iphone here yeah yeah we've got an iphone right so is
it charging it's 73 charge okay so it's charging there so it's going up there so that is drawings
have a little look it's drawing yeah so it's not drawing that obviously the output this is 2.1 amps
per socket and we're just under an amp there are we yeah just fluctuating around a bit but that's
the obviously the phone itself charging it's nearly fully charged so you'd expect the charge
current to be dropped dropping down okay so yeah so we can do we can do an iphone which is good
when we start getting to tablets it starts being a little bit more of a challenge i would suggest
are we going to try two devices well at one time yeah we'll try two at once but let's let's have
a look at the tablet first so this is the tablet we use with our trail testers so you're gonna put
that back in so yeah okay so just gives me right ladies just messing with me leads okay there we go
okay my fault again please note in the comments it's always my fault right so we're gonna go in
again so we've got a samsung tablet now so this will be a little bit more juicy i would suggest
yeah should uh so let's have a look at once this is flat is it flat oh right okay a challenge then
so again let's see on that so it's yes so it's dead flat dead flat so again you can see that's
ramping up again one point oh so that's just so because it's flat it's doing a little bit more
there and we've got a 1.3 amps but it is charging so that's that's good and while i'm doing that
i'll plug the iphone in at the same time let's see if the charge current drops oh right so
we'll see if the one drops in the completely flat samsung device there that makes sense handy for
the vlogging youtuber i would suggest this must be a must-have for some of the people out there and
you wouldn't want your devices to go flat with them i said you couldn't care less if you could
use your drill or your multi-saw but you're going to be having to make sure that you can film what
you're not doing yeah i can't get on social media yeah posts out there yeah yeah you're
in a world of talent right okay let's have a look so this is still uh yes we're still charging away
okay so that one hasn't dropped is this one also that's charging away as well yeah that's good so
so i'll call on actually i think it's a useful for for what's very reasonably priced i will put
a link in the description below well there's not a lot in it is it the background is probably the
day a bit you've already got that so it's just ecliptic on the top yeah so good for emergency
power obviously if you want to charge fast probably not because it only goes up to 5
volts and there's a lot of those new charging protocols we've seen in other videos check out
those i'll put a description for those as well for fixed power but i think as a yeah you're on site
you know you've got your drill's got some juicing but your phone hasn't you're waiting for a client
call or you need to ring someone the wholesaler etc just give you enough charge maybe get you
going or you've got the ability to leave it long term so great for yeah what it is you know future
proofing what would you like to see usbc ports and the ability to work with the xgt battery range
fast charging maybe and yeah see what power we can get out of that but yeah i think it's good
also can see that it's got a clip on it as well so you can fasten it to your obviously to your
belt maybe your toolbar i've got a nice makita toolbar over here to hold my sachet of coffee in
along with obviously my flowers there because on the channel we've also reviewed the makita coffee
maker 15 minute video if you want a little bit of entertainment and a laugh at our expense or
check out that video we love the wackiness of the makita range don't we we go from coffee makers to
world class drills to multi-saws and now to an adapter that allows you to put your usb
a's in yeah not seized yet so we'd like them to bc so usb is in order to charge your devices as
always we're interested in your comments are you currently using this and you think it's brilliant
are you using it and there's a feature or something we haven't mentioned in the video
that you'd like to leave in the comments to help the community as always we're interested
in those comments please leave them below and we'll try and get back to as many as we can
