My Favorite Tool - A Carpenters' honest opinion November 22, 2008

I've owned this Makita impact gun for over three years and still love it. I'm a professional carpenter/handyman and this tool by far is the one I use most. It's the most comfortable cordless drill I've ever handled (and I've owned at least seven). It will drive 3 inch screws into hardwood over and over. Squeeze the trigger and the light comes on.. a joy, especially during winter work days when it gets dark early. The small size gets you into tight places like narrow cabinets or under sinks (where again that light is great)!
After using this tool a while, it becomes second nature - how much pressure you need to squeeze the trigger for just the right amount of torque. The impact feature is handy for backing out soft brass screws without stripping them (like those tricky high end Baldwin hinge screws).
The quick release is simple to use.. the belt hook is handy when you go up a ladder with your hands full.. the batteries last a long time and are easy to change.. the charger is quick.. it will accept vix bits and drill bits with a hex shank (so you can drill holes too)!
C'mon.. what else do you need in a drill/screwdriver???
Get one and you will soon realize what you've been missing.. I know it's a bit pricey, but compared to those bulky Ni-Cad non-impact guns, this one beats them hands down!

Too good to be true May 24, 2008

I purchased this impact wrench strictly for changing tires at the track from regular tire to racing compound tires. The lug bolt is 17mm from a BMW and I torque it to 95ft/lbs with a Craftsman spring type torque wrench. The Makita impact wrench was not able to break the nut! Rated at 177 ft/lbs but could not break a 95 ft/lbs nut. Yes I charged the batteries and tried both of them with the same result. I don't know if I got a defective drill or what, but thank goodness I purchased from Amazon so return was not an issue. The only reason I gave this product even one star is that the batteries charged quickly and the drill is light. Unfortunately too light to be any good.
