 Great price Great tools Just don't expect to receive it all December 28, 2008
Thomas J. Sandell (OC California USA)
Just like the others I receive the package broken open missing the screw tip for the impact, no grinding wheels, no tool for the grinder locknut,
But the UPS driver did come back and hand me sawzall blade from the floor of his truck???
Great item poorly packed by makita..Thanks Amazon Cs! December 22, 2008

I believe that Makita could have done a better job here,as far as boxing this item,perhaps they figure that they are shipping large Quanities to say HD and the individual boxes are then placed on the floor.As far as the individual boxes this item is not packed for shipping,the radio is in a seperate box and is well packed within the larger box,The larger box is single walled cardboard and the rest of the tools are minimally supported within and are easily shifted and jumbled in the shipping process the heavy box 54 lbs is not easily manuvuered by handlers.UPS tried to deliver a shippment and the box was so beaten up I refused it fearing I would be responsible for the return.I was I admit Skeptical of Amazon Customer Service via India?I WAS WRONG They performed sterlingly the 2nd box was sent out fed ex overnight and arrived perfect shape ontime. If there was a a comparable price on a local item I would have shopped local.Amazon saved me Mucho$$$$$$,and considering how their Customer Service Agents performed they earned my Admiration and Gratitude.Now as for the tools,I have just used the radio it is awesome.I bought this item on the recommendation of a good friend who is a Tool Guru,and a carpenter I have known for 20+ years,his son has used this set (the six tools sans radio) for a year now and gives them a high rating.I think if I was a framer (I am not)and expected to use the saws 9-5 I would go for a 24volt,or 36 volt hilti,Milw,Dewalt.Otherwise this seems like a good set
Great Tools Set for the Price, Needs Better Packaging December 20, 2008

I received this product via free shipping, and like the other reviewers, mine was poorly packaged. No box in a box, just the mfr box. Corners were dented, box was torn up, looked like it had been dropped on one end a few times. Inside, I found all the tools, but some of the items had shifted and were scuffed up a bit. Some items were floating around, like the screwdriver bit, and the sawsall bit.
However, all the tools functioned properly, and I got this set for a good price. These are top quality tools. Even the radio sounds decent, with a aux input for a MP3 player. Would have been nicer if the radio played CD's, but it doesn't.
For the price, this is a great deal, so just refuse the package if it arrives beat up so you can avoid the return shipping charges and get another one.
A little unrelated, but when I first found this item it was priced at $494, but when I checked out about two hours later, the unadvertised "sale" on this item ended, and the price went up to $549. Called Amazon directly, and they wouldn't budge. A little cheesy in my opinion, but still a good deal at the new price.
Would be a five star with sturdier packaging.
 Nice Set but, poorly packaged. December 16, 2008

I just received the Makita LXT702 in the mail today. The tools are great, but the set came poorly packaged in a light cardboard box with pictures of the product on the outside. After opening the box, I discovered that the grinder and one battery were missing. Amazon will exchange the product for a new one, but I am responsible for the return shipping. This box is large and heavy (54 lbs) and is going to cost over $50 to ship back. Do yourself a favor and learn from my mistake. Buy the product locally so you know you will get what you pay for!
Update - Amazon ended up taking care of my problem, and I got a full set sent to me without paying the return postage. I tried to resolve the problem by using the automated process for exchanging items. After several messages back and forth with Amazon Customer Service, I decided to click on the "Call Me" button to speak directly with a Customer Service Representative. My phone rang immediately, and had the problem resolved within 15 minutes. Apparently, when a product arrives missing parts, it is considered defective and Amazon will pay for the return shipping to replace the set.
If you buy the set, just make sure you check the contents before you sign for it. The packaging is really light duty for this heavy set of tools. But for the price, it's worth the wait. I could not find it locally for a price even close to Amazon.
 WHY WOULD YOU BUY LXT601? THIS IS CHEAPER!!!!! December 3, 2008

I just ordered this makita set from amazon after doing extensive research. The LXT601 is the same set as this except for the jobsite radio is included in the LXT702. The LXT702 set is cheaper for some reason so I would recommend that you buy it if you are looking to buy the LXT601. I havent received the kit yet so I cannot comment on the quality. I have owned other makita cordless tools in the past and i can tell you that they have all been of superior quality. I will update this after receiving the kit.
