LIGHT [Posted on 2007-02-13]
The product description lists this kit as having a xenon bulb flashlight. This is incorrect.The light shown in the picture IS correct. This package does come with the BML184 fluorescent mechanic's hang light, but NOT the BML185 4 position Xenon bulb light as listed in the product description.
these are awesome tools from Makita! I use the impact driver for everything. it's so light-weight and powerful.
Excellent set of tools [Posted on 2007-08-10]
DISCLAIMER: This review was done by L. J. Klein's husband. (We share an Amazon account.)
I am just entering the plumbing field as an apprentice, but one thing I've noticed is the difference that quality tools can make between an easy job and a nightmare. Makita's Li-Ion cordless power tools definitely fall under the category of tools that make a job easier.
The 1/2" hammer drill chews through anything I've thrown at it, including drilling 1" holes through concrete block. It zips 1/4" holes for masonry anchors in seconds, and with good bits, it bores through wood like a termite on steroids.
The recip saw never quits. Doesn't matter what you feed it: it eats it and spits back dust. The only thing that's slowed it down at all has been terra cotta pipe. On one occasion the plumber I was working with gave me his old ** **** cordless recip to cut through a 3/4" galvanized pipe. After struggling with it for 5 minutes and managing to cut half-way through the pipe, I put his away and pulled out my Makita. 2 minutes later, that cut and 2 others were done and I was putting my Makita recip away.
The impact driver makes for a handy screw gun, especially in situations where you need the drill at the same time.
The fluorescent shop light is a god-send. It's bright, and will last up to 5 hours on one charge. The only complaint I have here is that when the battery dies, you have no warning, no dimming of the light. It simply blinks out. But on the flip side, that means you have 5 hours of full-intensity, flicker-free white light.
The charger works like a charm and charges the batteries in record time.
Probably the greatest recommendation I can make is the comments on my tools from the other plumbers I work with. Several of them have commented VERY favorably, and a couple have already told me they're going to get this combo themselves as soon as they can get the money together.
Makita has hit the ball out of the park with their Li-Ion cordless tools. The ergonomics are good, the power is awesome, and the rugged durability is excellent. If you need a set of cordless power tools that will do whatever you need them to do, this set from Makita is it.
