A week after I bought this, something better arrives August 11, 2010
John (Albuquerque, NM)
The BTD141 is a 2008 update/improved version of the BTD140: some improved internal parts (slightly higher max torque), slightly different appearance (mainly the plastic gearbox shroud), and a different chuck(This chuck allows you to push in a hex bit without pulling out the sleeve.) Not much difference from the older model, but I felt good about having the latest model when I bought this in the last week of May 2009.

A week after I bought this, Makita releases the evolutionary Bare-Tool Makita BTD144Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Impact Driver (Tool Only, No Battery) with brushless motor on the US market. There is a reason why the BTD144 is the first tool in the Makita line-up to get the brushless technology: Impact drivers are known for their torque but not for their finesse. With the digital electronic control that brushless motors allow, you can have buttons that reduce the speed and torque instead of having to feather the trigger pressure(like you have to do on the BTD141). Even though it is $75 - $100 more than the BTD141, I would have probably sprung for the BTD144. Regardless, what's done is done.

The BTD141 has loads of potential torque and if you are not careful/skilled you can torque fasteners way beyond where they should be. I needed some practice with the trigger and doing short bursts to make a 3" screw flush with a wood surface. Getting the right pressure on the trigger as you are driving a screw does not come naturally, especially if you've only used a drill as a driver.

The ergonomics on this, as with all Makita LXT tools, is superb. Very comfortable and balanced with "grippy" molded rubber in all the right places.

It is loud, but it's supposed to be loud; it's an IMPACT driver.

You can use this driver with the smaller 1.5 amp Makita batteries without making any modifications. (See user picture above) Thus, it can virtually become the smaller, lighter BTD142HW.

Favorite Tool July 11, 2010
Daltex (Dallas, TX)
If you drive screws and/or bolts with any frequency then you have to get this tool. I use it with the small battery and it feels like it weights 1/2 of the weight of a drill. Drives 3 and 4" screws all day and doesn't tire out your wrist. I already had the drill set so just bought the bare tool and couldn't be happier.

Price on this thing is all over the board and I bought it here on Amazon for quite a bit less than I found on ebay after weeks of looking. Price does change so when it dropped I jumped on it. Now that I have it I should have just bought it as it's truely my favorite tool.

I recommend getting a 6" #2 phillips head bit, 3/8" socket adapter and small 1.5 battery if you don't have these. I also use nut driver bits alot.

Works like a charm July 6, 2010
C. Lam (San Mateo, CA)
This tool came in boxed and in new condition as described, sooner than expected. It works like a charm! My first project was to drive 3.5" wood screws to do some framing work on my house. This tool had no trouble at all!! I used it with the battery pack I already had (bought the tool only, w/no batteries). It is so powerful, on my 2nd project, it actually shattered 2 of my P2 drive bits, so watch for that (and always wear safety glasses).

nice enough, but torque does not meet specs April 29, 2010
Just_Me (New Jersey, USA)
1 out of 5 found this review helpful

I love my mate to this, the 18V Li-ion hammer drill/driver.

i bought this tool (bare), with its rated 1330 (111 lb-ft) in-lbs of torque, to easily perform a bunch of automotive functions, primarily removing and re-installing lugs nuts quickly. The 3 cars i have have nut specs of 86, 88 and 92 lb-ft - all well under its capability.

It wont break them loose - at least not in any reasonable length of time. So my conclusion is, it does not meet specs. I did call Makita and the vendor, but to no avail. So my only recourse is to warn others. Its at best marginal.
