 Great tool set April 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This 7 Pc kit was a Chrismas 2007 gift from my wife (Lots of hints dropped). I have used it since then to finish a whole basement(1200 sq ft), build a deck and to totally gut/remodel 3 bathrooms. I am very happy with the tools, and intend to ad some of the other pieces.
I am a part time contractor/handyman. Through the years I have used a number of different brands of tools. The list would include DeWalt, Milwaukee, Porter Cable, Hitachi, Ect Ect.... The people whom I work with mostly use DeWalt cordless tools. I do believe that the Makita tools are superior. They seem less "clunky" than the others, but just as capable.
The tools are compact and light, but not weak or flimsy. I detest "cheap" tools that make the job harder. On the deck build I could see how the impact driver stacked up against a Hilti driver. Those who know tools know that Hilti is very good. I am convinced I came out ahead. Because these tools feel so good working I have noticed that my friends are starting to grab mine whenever they can.
You do need more than 2 batteries though for hard use. I will correct that when I get the jig saw, wich would have been a much better addition to this set than the mediocre job site radio. This is where the DeWalt is much better as their radio also doubles as a charger. The flashlight works - but it seems less "solid" than the rest of the package.
This group of tools have so impressed me that I no longer take the corded "heavy tools" along unless it is truly called for. They can work hard and seems to be holding up well allthough I have just been using them for 3 months.
I would recommend this to any one who is looking for a quality set of tools.
Great Set! March 10, 2008
This is my first "grown up" power tool purchase. I've had tools given to me (and purchased minor hand tools) through out my life but never like this. I was so happy when the set arrived, but a little intimidated. The instruction manual is designed for someone who already knows about power tools, but it did help me in the basics (i.e. how to put the drill bit in, etc). Anyway...I finally used the hammer drill and I couldn't believe how easy it was! Now I feel like I can conquer the world (er, almost). I am slowly working my way through the tools and becoming familiar with them. They are very powerful but light-weight and simple to use. The settings are great and I would recommend this set to novices and experts alike.
Very happy March 3, 2008

I like everything about this Makita package.
There is a problem with the battery sticking on the grinder, but performance and value are great...very happy.
 Wrong Bag Shipped January 8, 2008
8 out of 22 found this review helpful
This tool kit was to come with a contractor's bag that is essentially a rolling duffle bag for all of the tools. Instead, Makita shipped it with a bag from a smaller kit that does not even hold all of the tools. Two calls to Makita's customer service resulted in the following comment: This was a "promotional" item and we ran out of the rolling duffle type bag so we substituted the smaller bag instead. Too bad if you don't like it - send it back. This is unacceptable customer service and although we like the tool kit, it makes no sense if we cannot carry all of tools in the rolling duffle bag that is clearly featured on the side of the shipping carton.
best tool purchase for serious beginner December 29, 2007

i am very happy w/ the tool set. the only problem was that when i got it delivered the package actually fell apart for the ups guy. luckily nothing was damaged, but not what you want your first view of your new tools to be (spilling out onto the porch).
other than that, they're great. i've been using them on-site for about three weeks w/ no complaints. i'm interested to see what i think in a year or two. but right now, three thumbs up.
you just may want to pay by check and mail in a roll of duct tape while you're at it.
