    5 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for   August 31, 2010
    Baron Von Nazzenpoppel
    The drill has more torque than I can control. This is a good thing. Hammer drilling is easy as well.
    The impact driver is a gift from the gods and puts screws into any lumber so fast that I found it a bad idea to handle them when I impact drove them back out again. They are quite hot! ( I was testing as to how many you can drive in and out on a single battery charge. I got tired of doing so before the battery.)
    As for the batteries, Lithium Ion blows NiCads away in just about every category.
    The original kit came with a bad battery and Amazon corrected the problem as fast as was possible short of air dropping a replacement kit.
    Good tools make you cry once. They are not cheap.
    Bad tools make you cry every time you use them, and then once again when you have to purchase their replacement with a good one anyway.



    5 out of 5 stars Excellent Drills!   July 17, 2010
    stu
    Love the drills, they carry plenty of pack. I have long been a makita fan simply because of their durable motors. These do not let down and take the batteries up a notch with the Lithium Ion batteries. I especially love the less than thirty minute charge time (typically closer to twenty minutes for me) and the fan cooling system on the charger. Make sure to check out [...] to see if there are any promotions, cause I was able to get a free battery ($79 value)through a promotion that just closed. Gotta love free stuff!


    4 out of 5 stars great tools   May 20, 2010
    J. Knopp (Seattle, WA)
    This is the second time I have ordered Makita Cordless drills from Amazon and I love them. I would recommend these Makita drills to anybody.


    4 out of 5 stars great driver, drill lacks some guts   March 31, 2010
    K. rosazza (nj USA)
    1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    This driver drill combo has served me well. A few small downsides. First I have found the drill lacks some power when boring larger holes. During my last attempt at large hole drilling I actually smelt some burning odors from the drill. I don't normally use my cordless for hole sawing but sometimes it's a matter of convenience and speed, use what's in hand. The driver is a beast. I've had no problems and it has been a great tool. Never owned an impact before, great addition. I've had these for about 8 months now, no battery problems. The led light is a great feature. One thing I wish the set had was an additional bit storage clip, it only comes with one, even a little magnet on the tool would be nice. Another small downside is the direction switch position, Its hard to change with one finger while holding the drill with one hand. Not a huge problem but takes some getting used to. Also when the battery is out of the drill it must lay on its side due to the belt clip that hangs off, not as big deal but a little annoying for storage reasons. None of these issues are total deal breakers, these are still quality tools.


    5 out of 5 stars This kit is wonderful   March 12, 2010
    Michael I. Collector (Maryland)
    This is only the third battery operated drill I have owned. The one before this one was a 14 volt makita that I really liked, but the batteries would no longer hold a charge. This set is a giant leap forward in performance and weight reduction. With the Li-ion batteries I would think corded tools are on there way out, yes the Li-ion tools are that good!
