Impressed [Posted on 2008-05-02]
Love this Makita Combo. I am a 68 year old woman and the drill and driver is light weight and fits ergonomically well in my hand. I used the driver to put in many many screws on our back deck. It had plenty of power. I recharged one battery through this work and found the battery charger worked well and recharged in a very short time. I would highly recommend this Makita Cordless Combo for quality and value (cost).

Such a deal! [Posted on 2008-05-08]
Based on favorable on-line reviews of the tools offered in this kit, I bit, and I'm not sorry. The light is bright; I finished an outside job after daylight was all gone, using this as a flood light. The 1/2" drill , though not a hammer-drill, has plenty of torque, is very compact and lightweight for such a tool, and the LED , which shines on the work piece is a very nice wrinkle - at times especially helpful. The impact driver is the real standout! So very compact, it amazed me with the stubborn screws and bolts it loosened and the quick and easy way it would sink and tighten without stripping. It also has the helpful LED. And the charger does charge fast. The price is very reasonable and a real bargain for what these tools will do. For their intended purpose I'd say they are "state of the art." For about 25 years now I've owned and much used in my contruction work battery powered tools : Skill, Bosch, Panasonic, Makita, and Milwaukee, and I've used other brands besides. For their purposes these are the best - such fun to use that I actually look forward to working with them.

Best Combo Set for Price Period! [Posted on 2008-05-12]
Bought this set about six months ago and I am still amazed at the performance. The battery life is awesome. I am a cable technician, don't use the drill on a consistent basis, so being able to charge the battery once and then go for about 2 weeks without usage, then having to drill a 3/8 bit into a 2x4, it still gives the same output as if i just charged it. The Impact is awesome, goes through anything, the Light is bright enough to light up an attic or crawl space and the Drill will go through most anything its asked without hesitation.
All in all, if your not going to be using this for a hardcore construction purpose, then this is the best set out there.

Makita Lithium-Ion 3pc cordless combo [Posted on 2008-05-12]
This is an excellent kit. I use the impact driver daily and it performs great. Everything from driving screws to assembling and disassembling bolts and nuts. The small light on thesse tools is a great help I never expected. I've owned a dewalt set and the makita performs just as well if not better for a fraction of the price. I highly recommend this set for home and work use. The batteries hold up well and recharge very quickly and the tool is very well balanced and the batteries are very light. I bought this for work and will soon buy another set for at home. It makes all jobs alot easier.

Great Combo - you need more batteries! [Posted on 2008-05-15]
These tools are great, the only down side is this combo comes with only two batteries. You need at least two more to be ready for action at all times.
