APRIL 26, 2010 – Tools of the Trade Magazine named the Makita 10” Dual Slide Compound Miter Saw (LS1016L) as a 2010 EDITORS’ CHOICE in their Spring 2010 issue.
The annual EDITORS’ CHOICE Award is Tools of the Trade’s once-a-year opportunity to tell their readers which ten new tools they think are the very best. This year, they told the remodelers and pro contractors who read the magazine that the Makita LS1016L was the best new miter saw (in fact, it was the only miter saw on their list).
