Customer Reviews

Decent tools...terrible batteries
I've been using cordless tools for close to 20 years. I'm in the trades and
do the purchasing of tools for our installation crews. I have extensive experience with most manufacturers as I put them through the rigors before I
purchase them for the crews.

I've been using the Makita set for about 2 months now.

Pros. Light weight, Decent to middle of the road performance. LED light comes in handy. 15 min charger

Cons. BATTERY RUN TIME. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING.

Recommendation. This is a decent kit for a home owner or occasional user.

If you're in the trades, look at Panasonic. Their 15.6v drill is head and shoulders above everything else I've tried...hands down

Job couldn't have been done without it
I bought this kit to augment my 14.4v Dewalt for the installation of one of those giant wood swing-sets. I started off using the Dewalt for driving the hex-bolts into the T-Nuts, but once I used the impact driver for the first time, I hardly put it down again after. I had to be careful not to over-drive the bolts, becuase the torque would just keep on going.

There were comments on previous reviews complaining about the battery life. This kit includes two 1.5 Ah batteries. I found these batteries to be adequate for a general home user - particularly with the 15-minute recharge cycle time. If long life is what you need, you should either purchse the kit that comes with the 3.0 Ah batteries, or I was told that the 3 Ah batteries are compatible with this kit, but not vice versa.

I didn't use the Drill Driver near as much as the impact driver, but overall, it met my expectations. Both were much lighter than my Dewalt, and overall, that weight made a huge difference on my own fatigue factor over the 4-day installation, than if I would have used the Dewalt exclusively. I have absolutely no regrets over this purchase!

Great design---poor battery!
I bought this drill because I was looking for a lightweight kit for woodworking. I am very happy with the build quality of the drill and impact drill and the 15 minute charger is a great bonus. The drill is very powerful with a one piece chuck. Both the drill and impact drill have lights on them that stay on for a couple seconds after use which really helps when installing cabinet hardware, but even with all of this I can't give it anything higher than 3 stars because the batteries are just bad. This is supposed to be the best kind of baterry technology on the market and my sears craftsman drill is outlasting it. The only reason why I've kept this set is because the batteries charge in 15 minutes. If your looking for a drill to use on a construction site you might want to stay away from this compact set.
