 Great Set of Tools June 30, 2008
J. Hope (Florida)
This is by far the best set of cordless tools I have owned. That includes my DeWalt. The drill and driver are light, they are strong and the battery life is great for a small battery. In the first use of the driver and drill, my wife and I, placed 3/4" flooring in a 14x40 room. We put all the 2.5" floor screws in and never had an issue with the batteries going dead. I got these off Amazon for $199. It is a steal.
Makita LCT200W compact lithium drill/driver set June 20, 2008
Hammer (Yardley, PA United States)
So far, they are fantastic. Light, balanced, powerful. Super-fast charging. The bigger battery is available, but so far these have been fine. In a few weeks they will really be put to the test re-decking a deck with 2x6 pressure treated wood. I'll update this then. But so far, Highly recommended.
home run for Makita June 11, 2008

I bought the reconditioned set and have been delighted with the drill and the impact driver. They do the jobs I need done, quickly and without the need to fiddle with things. I love my Bosch pocket driver, but never would have bought it if I'd had the Mak drill at the time. It's a versatile and well-designed tool. If I need a hammer drill or to bore 3" holes, I use a tool made for the job. These are perfect for the other 90% of my tasks.
I used to buy trade tools, but the batteries wore out as fast and I paid a premium in weight and expense that just wasn't warranted. I can't imagine anyone in the trades buying these instead of the LXT versions with the bigger batteries and extra brawn. If I don't need all that juice, I don't want to pay for it or carry it around. Take it out for a test drive and I think you'll agree--Makita got it right.
Terrific product May 21, 2008

The impact driver is a must have for setting screws in difficult conditions. I needed to drive some brass screws and not one of the forty screw heads stripped. The lithium-ion batteries last forever.

I install cabinets for a living, and this set has worked out great. My partner had been using these for a few months now, and talked me into buying these. The only thing I wish they had, was the bit holders on them, like most of the other brands I have used in the past.If you don't use diffrent types of screws you can't go wrong. I love the light on it. I thought it was kind of a novelty, but it works out great inside dark spots. Get an extra battery, even though it chargers super fast.
