Great tool and kit set up:
This is the first impact driver I've used. It works great to get out stubborn screws without stripping the heads. You can screw straight into a knot of hardwood with this. It's got torque to spare. The kit comes in a carrying case which is nice but if you want to put the drill or driver in your tool box you will find the universal charger to big to do so. Amazon ad said there's a battery rebate to get another battery which did not come with the kit. So I guess I am out of luck on that. The kit doesn't come... more info
Good value and performance:
I am very happy with the performance of all three pieces in this kit. The impact driver worked better than the drill for removing some stubborn screws in my deck (although it is pretty loud!). The batteries and charger work great, very fast charging and good status indicators on the charger. My only complaint is that the ink on the "Makita" label on the side of the impact driver came off on my hand during use. Surely, the ink wasn't that fresh! I expect better quality from Makita. Time will tell how... more info
Wobble-Rific:
I got the 3 piece kit at a good price. However, the drill had a massive wobble - visible and noticable even without a bit. I returned the first set for a replacement (kudos Amazon) and hope #2 will be better. No doubt he chuck is of poor quality, but it acutally seemed like the shaft may have been the source of the shake. The kit is a decent value but I was a little dissapointed with the overall quality - definitely Makita's "value" line. That being said I did opt for a replacement instead of a refund.... more info
Great bang for the buck:
Simple comments: I am not a contractor. I am fixing up my co-op however. Does everything you'd expect. No, not the battery power of the larger batteries, but you end up with 3 batteries with the limited time mail-in freebee. Plus, I received the free battery via mail-in in a very short time. All items fit in the case nice and compactly. Great bang for the buck. P.S. I will be ready for the next great blackout - the flashlight and batteries that came with my 14.4 Makita served... more info
