I bought my first makita , refrenced above in the early 80's so I have been a user prety much from inseption.

no I wouldnt want a 36 volt that was twice as heavy as my 18 volt , but my 18 volt dosen't weigh twice as much as a 9 volt .

battery technology along with other technology grows rapidly you may not need higher voltages motor technology may advance so that a 18 volt will use less power and be more powerfull .

my point really is todays cordless tool offerings are far more usefull and versitle than what was availible 6 years ago when I bought my 14 volt and they where more versitile then they had been a few years before when I bought my 12 volt ect ect

Like I mentioned earlier my first cordless really didint do much as they have progressed they have become a more usefull tool they still dont equall corded performance

I far prefer my 18v over the 12v set I was using 10 years ago and I expect to be using something better than the 18 v set 10 years from now
