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 [...]

Very Nice Product-Better Than Expected!
Very powerful, easily removes 100 lb-ft torqued lugnuts. Also, very compact. Another super product from Makita.
Update (2/4/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.
The featured review for this product, Bare-Tool Makita BTW251Z 18-Volt [...]

Great hand sander
1/3-sheet sanders are becoming scarce, but this one is clearly the best of the lot. I had a Black & Decker before, but it finally died after over 15 years of service. I don’t know if this Makita will last that long. But, while it lasts, it is so much [...]

Makita Clipped Framer AN942
Depth of drive is awesome. No tools, just click the dial which is conveniently located and it increments or decrements in 1 millimeter intervals.
This framer feels light for its size, yet is very powerful. It shoots standard nails, and I also used the 30 degree paslode FRH (full round head) [...]

My Favorite Tool - A Carpenters’ honest opinion
I’ve owned this Makita impact gun for over three years and still love it. I’m a professional carpenter/handyman and this tool by far is the one I use most. It’s the most comfortable cordless drill I’ve ever handled (and I’ve owned at least seven). It will drive 3 [...]

Believe the hype
Popular Mechanics’ glowing review of this drill is well deserved in my opinion. It is light, fast, well-balanced, and easy to use. Bosch’s competing model (17618-01) feels faster and stronger, but it also weighs a ton, is a bit lengthy, requires you to switch between driving and drilling modes by rotating the 25 [...]

Very nice flashlight, but shame on Makita!
This is a really nice flashlight and is a must have if you already own Makita Li-ion tools. It is a fairly powerful flashlight and stands up perfectly when the battery is attached. This is very useful when setting the angle at 90deg and standing the battery [...]

Good Light, Nice Bonus
I got this work light as a bonus when I bought the reconditioned cordless drill package 6233DWBEL (a great buy!). It’s a good work companion and I can’t complain about its convenience and performance. It uses the same batteries as the drill and many other 14.4V Makita products. But, this light just [...]
