Makita really knows how to put a kit together, and this 18-volt cordless combo set is a fine example of how one purchase can flesh out an entire workshop. The LXT407 set includes a 1/2-inch hammer drill/driver (BHP452), an impact driver (BTD140), a reciprocating saw (BJR182), and a rechargeable flashlight (BML185) -- plus two LXT Lithium-Ion 3.0Ah batteries (BL1830), a 30-minute rapid charger (DC18RA), and a rugged contractor's bag to tote and store the whole collection. The Hammer Drill/Driver
The BHP452 boasts a Makita-built, 4-pole maximum torque motor that delivers 450 in./lbs. of torque in a lightweight body. Its Shift-Lock drive system sleeve quickly shifts from "hammer drill" to "driver" mode for swift shifting between projects with less downtime, and the 2-speed design (0-400/0-1500) covers a wide range of drilling and driving applications. This drill/driver's compact design is only 9-1/2 inches long and weighs just 3.9 pounds, so it won't weigh down your wrist and it's easy to use for long stretches of time. There's even a trigger-forward built-in LED light for a helpful touch of extra light in dark corners. Key Technical Specs: - Chuck Size: 1/2-inch
- No-load RPM: 0-400 (low), 0-1500 (high)
- BPM in Hammer Mode: 0-6000 (low), 0-22,500 (high)

The Impact Driver
The BTD140 impact driver is stocked with a Makita-built, 4-pole maximum torque motor that delivers 1,280 in./lbs. of efficient torque in a compact design that's only 5-3/4 inches long. This driver's ergonomic shape fits like a glove and weighs just 3.3 pounds, for less operator fatigue and better control. This advanced, efficient driver also features a built-in LED light to let you see into all those narrow, dark corners, plus an electric brake for immediate stops and minimized kickback. Its two-piece armature and field, combined with externally accessible brushes, mean easy serviceability and a longer motor life. Key Technical Specs:

This saw's compact design is only 17-3/4 inches long and weighs just 8.1 pounds, so it's easy to use and control -- even for long periods of time -- and its ergonomic shape fits your palm like a glove.

 Great tool set July 14, 2008
your definetly going to like this product. Its works great and gets the job done. I work in the construction industry and love this brand! it's not easy to break and works adquately.
great kit June 24, 2008
have used all tools in kit and they all are great. batteries hold charge for a long time while not being used. It's nice to finally have a tool i haven't used for a while that doesn't have to be charged.
Excellent product May 31, 2008
These tools are very impressive. They are much lighter and more ergonomic than the 19.2V Porter Cable tools they are replacing. The battery life is my favorite part. For the money...this is a great value.

When I got my first 9.6v Makita cordless drill, all that was offered at that time was foreward and reverse.NOW, no end to the fine new additions available.I still use my early model 9.6v (several switches later) and still love it,BUT I am considering giving it a rest.Just purchased the 407 kit and 'WOW' Nearly as surprised as I was with the 'New 9.6v' drill. The New L-ion series is not much heavier than my 9.6, BUT the diff in power----. I know you can't compare 18v to 9.6v but I have had all the ones in between.Makita, I will say it again, THANK YOU FOR A SUPER TOOL.
Oh,Yes, there is the fact that there are TWO drivers in the 407 kit, an impact drill/ driver and an impact driver. Also, a super recip.saw.IF YOU ARE EVEN THINKING about one of the other BRANDS,give yourself a sharp rap on the index finger of your right hand and forget the other BRANDS.Been there and done that. MAKITA, MAKITA, MAKITA. That's all you need to know......These are GREAT tools, and I expect them to last a long time as have all my other Makita tools.
battery life and care, a note to the other one star reviewer March 31, 2008

makita does have a 3-year warranty to cover all damages to their tools and a one warranty on batteries. i believe the problem here is that the batteries were not fully charged before use. it mentions in the instructions and from the makita rep, that all batteries need to be fully charged, 4-6hours?-not sure how long, as it's been 2 years since i bought mine, before they are used on a job site. it would make sense that if the batteries weren't fully charged that they would never give the full output performance. also, makita was the company that mass produced cordless drills. in the 80s everyone had a makita cordless. they didn't invent it, it was black&decker, in the 60s, for nasa, but they made it possible for everyone to have cordless tools now. the cordless back then required that you completely drain the battery before charging. that is detrimental to batteries today, any battery, from any company. perhaps this is what has happened to all your tool batteries from makita, milwaukee and dewalt. also if you let batteries freeze, get too hot in your truck, leave them on the charger for weeks, use the tool after the battery output has dropped, eg the drill is barely turning the screw but you keep at it until it stops completely, as well as a few other things, all decrease the life of batteries. please note that these makita tools were redesigned from the ground up, improving every area of the tool. the milwaukee, which be a work horse, just added lithium batteries and changed the plastic housing of their tools. the dewalt tools took their best selling product, their 18 volt line, and added lithium-ion batteries. dewalt also has 36volt lithium-ion batteries, but i'm not sure if they settled the law suit against them for stealing the technology.
these makita tools have the best charger on the market today. it electronically charges every portion of the battery to full potential, instead of just charging until one cell is full and leaving the rest of the 1.2 volt cells to be undercharged, in effect, an 18 volt tool becomes a 14.4 volt tool. please note that for sawzall/recip saws, they require much more power than an 18 volt can provide, even a lithium-ion, for remodeling anyway, eg cutting out a door or a window. the 18 volts, regardless of manufacturer, are best for light-duty work, light pvc pipe, occasional rebar, etc. the best cordless tools known to man are hilti tools. i have their 24 volt nicad and it is the only cordless recip saw (sawzall) that could keep up with my remodeling, in fact, it is more powerful than my older, light-duty, 6 amp milwaukee corded saw! the hilti 24 volt recip saw is even more powerful than the 36 volt lithium-ion tools that boast corded power.
my favorite thing about lithium-ion (Lion) is if you only partially use the tool here and there, the battery wont need charging as often. lithium ion batteries maintain full output, in this case 18 volts, constantly and do not decrease their charge if they haven't been used. a ni-cad battery will decrease its charge by 20% if unused, in the 1st 24 hours after its been charged. this is why if you leave it in the charger for weeks at a time, the battery will decrease its charge and the charger will re-charge it over and over again. every battery only has so many charge cycles. for nicad, it is typically 800, depends on manufacturer. lithium-ion batteries typically have 1400 (makita) charge cycles, so if they are treated properly, and charged completely the first time, they will far outlast their nicad cousins.
i love these makita tools, i am so happy every time i use them. its the subtle details i love too. like the self-maintenance, high quality, high-output motor. the led lights that turn on when you pull the trigger, the heavy-duty metal belt clip that doesn't spin like other brands, the smart charger, and everything about the impact driver. i use the impact driver more than everything, small screws (other brands will over torque small screws) to large lag bolts, except when client's baby is sleeping, as it does make a rattle noise, when in use. it is so light-weight and so powerful. i also bought the trim saw and the grinder too.
