 Very pleased....researched a lot! November 24, 2009
K. McVey (Kansas)
Bought this set in October and am very pleased with it. We debated about buying the set without the radio, but decided to go with this one because we always kept saying we needed a weather radio and thought this could work for that. Well, we are very impressed with the radio and my husband takes it with him everywhere and the sound and clarity is phenomenal. We even hooked up our iTouch to it. I didn't mean to go on about the radio, but it was such a pleasant surprise. As far as the tools go, A+, the impact drill is so light and my husband(works construction) is the envy of the guys at work and everyone wants one. I bought that drill for him last year and he used that for EVERYTHING. We also had been remodeling our house and it worked great, especially with the rapid charger. He sold that drill so that he could go ahead and get this bigger set. He has been really impressed with this Makita set. I researched A lOT on these, this is the one you want! The impact drill in this set has the most torque/in. and more power than the platinum Makita drills. I know he has used the other tools too and he has had no complaints. The only thing I know he doesn't like is the bag. He likes the hard case better, but you can buy those fairly cheap online too. The bag is nice in the fact that it's like a duffle with the pull out handle and wheels, you could use it for a piece of luggage. But not real practical for a construction site though. He keeps it in his truck and takes out what he needs. Plus, the price on Amazon is very reasonable. I looked on ebay as well, you might, maybe, find one cheaper for the same set, but Amazon is very competitive with the ebay prices, plus you get free shipping and a guarantee.
Great Package October 11, 2009

Great combination for the price. I'm a landlord with 16 apt to fix and maintain. I did a lot of research before settling on this combo. I've been using them for about 3 weeks now and they're great. The circular saw is light and powerful, the impact drill is amazing, I used the grinder to cut tiles and it works great. Some of the other reviews mentioned poor packaging, mine came very well packed with packing material all around. Maybe amazon got the message and improved it. This combo is great for starters or even veteran professionals. I definitely recommend it.
great buy August 2, 2009
Mike
I am a contractor and I bought this kit for everyday work. I have used Makita 18v lithium tools in the past so I know they hold up very well. The batteries have excellent run time and the tools are all light and very ergonomic. I have also used other brands, but none compare to the Makita kit. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this kit to anyone. And with the price, you can't pass it up.
Best tools ever! July 8, 2009
Thomas Nunley (Lewisville, Texas USA)
I love these tools, the batteries take no time to charge and they last longer, the drills are awesome and the sawz-all supprised me with its power!
Can't beat it June 14, 2009
Josh
Let me start by saying that yes, the packaging is horrible. It ships in the factory box, which gets all beat up. Check the contents upon delivery. I used the free super-saver shipping, and it went fed-ex and took only a day. I checked the contents and everything appeared to be OK, despite being shifted around and jostled. The tools are GREAT. I have nothing bad to say about them (aside from the flashlight, which should use LED technology instead of incandescent). The circular saw works great (i just wish the blade was on the right instead of the left). Battery life is as expected on a cordless tool, but with the 30 minute charge time it's not an issue. I have nothing bad to say about any of the other tools in the kit. The radio was really of no use to me and I already sold it on Ebay. Those little 3 1/2" speakers just can't pump out the volume needed on a big job site, so I'll stick with my Milwaukee radio there. I've already purchased additional tools and batteries, and have become a hardcore Makita fan! You can't beat Amazon's price on this set, either, so don't even try!
