Makita Cordless
Couldn't be happier. First time cordless impact user. Will not go without again. Makita is definitely the forrunner in 18 volt lithium-ion. Already had the cordless drill, so I new it was good. Now I have 2 drills & 1 impact with flashlight. Highly recommend.

Confusing Instructions
Great balance and plenty of power. Charger instructions to change tunes or mute when charge completed said "unplug battery and reconnect within 5 seconds". Only works if battery is rapidly removed and reconnected within 2 seconds. Took two chargers from Amazon to figure this out. Makita's instructions get a 1. Amazon's customer service gets a 10.

Great tools!
After working alongside our contractor in a recent renovation on the house, and enduring his sniggering diss at my Old School corded Makita electric drill, I decided to follow his lead and step up to the Makita impact driver. I ordered it separately, then realized I could have the driver AND the drill in a set for just a few dollars more. (Sent back the driver; ordered the combo.) If you have never used an impact driver, they are amazing. For running in, say, deck or drywall screws it is a miracle cure. With my regular old drill I would have to seriously push while driving in the screw, hoping to keep the bit from camming out and ruining the phillips head about a 1/4" shy of being driven home. The impact driver makes the same clattering sound as it drives in the screw, but it's doing absolutely no harm to the screw head. You have to see it to believe it--like butta! I love the drill, too. It has a very good clutch: set it to drill, as such, with no slippage; or set a very low slip point to put in hinge screws without stripping out the soft pine doorframe--and any setting in between. The lamp is, in my experience, real close to useless. It came with two bulbs, one of them installed. The first one blew out in about 5 seconds. Second one is okay, but I could not find the same bulbs at Home Depot. I'll keep looking, but if this is some hard to come by specialty bulb, what's the point? I would just as soon have had the kit at a reduced package price, minus the lamp.

the best drill ever
I have owned an other makita drill and two dewalt drills this drill is the best so far. the battery life is way better than older versions and the power is amazing. I would absolutely recommend this pack. best bang for your buck.

Great tools at a great price
Great products at a great price. It would be nice if they had a belt clip, but this is not essential.
