Deserves another star
This is a carpenters dream. These drills have the best power to weight ratio on the market (2008). spot lights on the front for dark places. 15 minute battery charge with extra long life . I would not change anything about these drills. You will want to buy an extra battery to make battery rotation efficient.

Great impact driver & drill set
This impact driver & drill set was recommended to me by a professional cabinet maker. It is simply great; light, compact, powerful, quick charging, it even has an led light to help see in tight places. The only problem is perhaps it is too powerful. But this is probably my technique. I need to learn there is no pre-set clutch but the clutch is controlled by the trigger. For building a deck, it's the best.

Just what I needed
I started a deck project and a friend had just bought a set of Makita tools. When I saw how powerful and light weight the tools were, I had to get a set for myself. It was the best gift I could have received. The battery life is great and I found that I used the light on several late night occasions.
I have had no problems and I have used them extensively. By the way, the deck looks great!

Makita Cordless
Couldn't be happier. First time cordless impact user. Will not go without again. Makita is definitely the forrunner in 18 volt lithium-ion. Already had the cordless drill, so I new it was good. Now I have 2 drills & 1 impact with flashlight. Highly recommend.

Confusing Instructions
Great balance and plenty of power. Charger instructions to change tunes or mute when charge completed said "unplug battery and reconnect within 5 seconds". Only works if battery is rapidly removed and reconnected within 2 seconds. Took two chargers from Amazon to figure this out. Makita's instructions get a 1. Amazon's customer service gets a 10.
