Great Tools Set for the Price, Needs Better Packaging
I received this product via free shipping, and like the other reviewers, mine was poorly packaged. No box in a box, just the mfr box. Corners were dented, box was torn up, looked like it had been dropped on one end a few times. [...]

Very Nice Product-Better Than Expected!
Very powerful, easily removes 100 lb-ft torqued lugnuts. Also, very compact. Another super product from Makita.
Update (9/9/2010): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

About the battery comment….
Responding to the prior comment about the user not having a battery fit with his existing Makita battery:
This is because he was trying to use the white 1.5Ah Makita battery (slim pack) in a tool that requires the more powerful (and larger and more $$$$) 3.0Ah battery. SOME tools can take [...]

Still “My new favorite tool.”
I’m a lead carpenter for a residential remodeler. I’ve owned 11 cordless drills over the years (currently I have 4) and this Makita is not only the best of the bunch, by far, it may be the best power tool I own. I’ve had it for about a month now and [...]

Great at home for an ex-pro
I’m an retired construction project manager(commercial/industrial) and I fully researched this Hitachi drill/driver before I purchased it. It’s replacing a great 13 year old Porter Cable 12V d/d (with Magna-Quench!), for which good batteries and chargers are now all but non-existent.
In the month I’ve had the [...]

I guess they are all headed downhill
I replaced a 14.4 Milwaukee NiCad with a Makita LXT and noticed that my old Milwaukee NiCads outlasted these in terms of longevity. Run time is solid, but lifespan is short. Two dead after one year, I’m only a homeowner. I’ve only done a few lengthy jobs such as [...]

GREAT drill!
I have this kit along with the Makita BDF452HW kit and love them both to pieces. Both are solid performers in every sense of the word and are very light as well. I have worked the crap out of both of them and they just keep asking for more. You simply cannot go wrong [...]

Makita Lithium 18V drill and impact driver combo 4.5 stars
I am not a pro contractor, but only a weekend handyman warrior type who appreciates good tools. I opted to buy Makita instead of the Milwaukee V28 entirely because of Makita’s lighter weight. To me ergonomics means almost as much as tool power. Also I’ve never [...]

Great set of tools - Buy them
I use my tools heavily. We had a special project on which we needed 3 new battery powered drills. I bought this kit that had the 2 Makita drills in it and a Black and Decker drill. All of the drills have 18 volt lithium batteries. [...]
