Customer Reviews

Summary : Makita 12-Volt Cordless NiMH Impact Driver Kit with Drill
Review : If you use a cordless drill to drive screws, you'll love this impact driver. I don't know why I did not get one sooner. It made building things a lot easier. Great deal for the price.
Summary : One of the best tools I have
Review : I have owned the 12V Makita impact driver for about a year, and I love it. The 12V is powerful enough to drive 3 inch decking screws in yellow pine, but lighter than any of the 18V models - nice if you are carrying it around and lifting it a lot. The combo is a good deal; although the drill is not powerful enough for some jobs, it is perfect for driving pocket screws (the impact driver is too much for those).
Summary : Excellent promo package
Review : I purchased the Makita impact driver due to the tool's reputation and because I needed a tool with more torque than a drill. The promo package came with a free Makita cordless drill which was so nice that I donated my Sears Craftsman corded drill to charity.

My first used of the impact driver and drill was to create multiple 12 inch deep holes in a tree stump using spade drill bits. The two included batteries were good for 3 holes before requiring a recharge (recharger is included).

I've also since used it to rotate my tires and another job on my front suspension. The impact driver is a very powerful tool and the drill is a very nice addition. For lighter work, the drill has a mode for skrews and bolts (adjustible by trigger pressure) and one for drilling (with 400 rpm and 1200 rpm setting).

I am a happy camper. I now know why tradesmen have Makita cordless tools strapped to their belts.
