 delightful combo August 29, 2008
Buying both items together is a money saver. Egronomics are great, I go around looking for jobs because both tools are fun to use & handle. Handy built in lights on both & glow in the dark ring on the impact driver. Speaking of the driver, with those barely perceptable impacts, it's got incredible driving power, much more than the drill. The fabric case is great & handy to store drill accessories too. Wish the batteries had a state of charge indicator and wish the impact driver had a clutch, but this is not utopia.
Best power tool I own August 28, 2008
(From July 17, 2007) I'm a lead carpenter for a residential remodeler. I've owned 11 cordless drills over the years (currently I have 4) and this Makita is not only the best of the bunch, by far, it may be the best power tool I own. I've had it for about a month now and I've used it everyday. I have a complete compliment of "quick disconnect" bits so I also use this driver as a drill. I've drilled holes in concrete and block using masonry bits and it will easily countersink Tap-cons. I thought the little work light was a gimmicky thing but I have to admit, its a big help in tight dark places, I've even used it as a flashlight. For the size, weight, price, quality, power, etc, etc, you can't beat this drill/driver. The batteries charge in about 15 minutes but they last for days so with 2 batteries, you'll never be without a charged battery. The tool came with a soft square carrying case, kind of looks like a cooler. Since I hate wearing a tool belt rig, this case is great, if you remove the charger, this case will hold a bunch of standard handtools as well as the drill.
This is a great product, I highly recommend it.
*Update>> Its been just over a year and I have to say this drill is as good as the day I got it. In the last few months I purchased the combo kit, the drill and impact driver. I was curious to see if the first one I bought was still as strong as the brand new one. I see no difference. I am still more impressed with these drills/drivers than any tool I own....and its about time Makita sends me some free stuff for the gushing reviews. Seriously tho, you won't be disappointed.
 $120 WOW, I missed the best gold offer ever!! July 25, 2008
These are great, compact drill. I paid $200 and it was worth every dollar. The impact drill is extremely good at fitting into tight spots. 30 min battery recharge, is best in class.
Fantastic Cordless Set! July 24, 2008
This is the best drill/driver set I have ever owned. Super powerful and lightweight. The compact lithium ion batteries is what seals the deal. You have plenty of 18 volt power in a small, lightweight package. They are ergonomic and easy to work with unlike most tools with the 18 volt brick of a battery pack hanging off the bottom. Do yourself a favor and sell your standard lithium set and buy this kit. The only downside is the cheesy carrying case which is no more than a cheap cooler. Come on Makita!
Drill's great - The Driver is the hidden secret in the combo July 9, 2008
I knew I wanted the drill from having played around with a friend's. It's outstanding.
I bought the combo based on a few reviews saying how outstanding the driver is.
I must concur. The driver is outstanding.
What the reviewers didn't say was that it has an automatic transmission that grunts it out to low speed/high torque - and the kicker - switches into a hammer-driver mode at slow speeds to realy torque it out.
It will drive deck screws through 2x4's without breaking a sweat - or spinning your bit - and then back them right out again.
I've found battery life acceptable, esp considering the quick recharge and two per kit. They do ship 1.5AH batteries with the kit and 3 AH batteries are available separately. A day-in-day-out construction guy would want at least one 3AH battery. Even a busy handy guy will be quite happy with the batteries shipped
So do get either the 2 or 3 piece combo to get the driver. it'll be your default "power screwdriver" for everything but the gentlest applications.
I have to say I like the flashlight too. Nice, bright, and positionable, I use it more than I figured - having it always in the combo kit bag.
The three piece combo is only maybe $10 more than the two piece combo.
