 "You can't go wrong" 2010-05-19
By P. Davidson (Bronx, NY)
Ok, I just purchased Makita LXT407 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 4-Piece Combo Kit & am going to send in for the bare tool rebate where I'm choosing the circular saw. You Can't go wrong with that at all point blank. I've seen the same kit in home depot for close to $500 after taxes. I've used the flashlight, hammer drill & impact driver but not extensively. I have to say they all perform great. I know carpenters who use these drills on a daily basis & have nothing bad to say about the product & love them. For over 5 years I used 1 of the older models of Makita's cordless drills on a daily basis & that thing rocked, it never let me down. Aside from that I've used their corded tools too be it drills or any type of saw (circular, miter, Jig & reciprocating). I know they make reliable products. What helped me make my final decision was a mixture of the carpenters who use these new LXT Li-Ion drills everyday & my own personal experience. The tools feel great & the drills are light & powerful, especially that mini-me impact driver. As for the reciprocating saw its a cordless, so I don't expect to be doing extra heavy duty stuff with it due to battery life. Except it makes one think from what from what I've researched. I've read on people cutting down tree's with the same model I now own. So I may just be doing heavier work with it than I anticipated. After I have used these tools a lot more than I have, in the next few months I will leave a more in depth review.



I realize this product has been out for a few years now. So I can understand when It was brand new on the market the tools may have had some bugs. As do most products when they are 1st released. Its now 2010, that being said, I've seen some of the same negative reviews I read here on amazon, on other sites. I mean I seen the same exact 1's word for word. All & all the positive reviews outnumber the negative one's & from my own personal experience with Makita products I'm confident with what I have purchased.

 "Solid Tools!!" 2010-03-25
By Jeff Bliven
Simply put... They work GREAT!!



Being that I've never owned any cordless tools before, except a cordless screw-driver.... I'm comparing them to my "corded tools".... and again, did I mention they WORK GREAT??



I really like them, particularly the "Sawzall"... which I've owned a Milwaukee for years. IT WAS GREAT, when I finished my tree-trimming job! No cord 30-feet up in the tree, just as heavy-duty... cut like butter. I even went to town on cutting up all the limbs before they went into the fire-pit.... it was, dare I say.... FUN!! (no honey... I didn't say fun... I said, I won!)



I used the drill & driver to do a boat-load with my KREG pocket hole jig.... did the whole table. with-out re-charging! I'm thinking about running the LIGHT on a full charge... just to see how long it will last.... but, it will probably be a while??



I was originally looking at buying the "COMPACT" version of these tools.... glad I didn't!! Not that they wouldn't be worth it... just that I feel like I got some AWESOME VALUE with these instead!!



I did a bunch of research on which set I wanted to get, so I made a VERY EDUCATED decision with this set... and I'm really happy with them so far (about 30 days)!! PLUS, I get an extra tool as a Rebate.... that was the clincher for me!!



Anyway.... Happy Drilling & Screwing... you'll totally love 'em!!

 "Great item" 2010-02-04
By srfnken
I had one of these for years and wanted the other sizes. Great bang for the buck and works perfect!

 "Met my expectations" 2010-02-01
By Jack Spitler (Arlington, VA)
You get what you pay for! These flip drill/drivers fit snugly and opperate precisely. After trying a cheep, no name, set shipped from the UK, I found these Makitas to be quality tools. They are easy to adjust and help me do the job quickly. Plenty of extra bits. Glad I found these.

 "Expected more for the brand and the price" 2010-01-20
By Eric Gleason
There is quite a bit of play in the socket, so the bits will wobble. I bought an identical Ryobi-branded tool at the local big box home store, and was hoping that Makita would make a better product, but it's the same product with a different label on it.



I decided to keep it and deal with the wobbliness, but I'm not all that happy about it.

 "Excellent household tool" 2009-04-10
By Catfish Kozmo (Arlington, TX)
I've owned my set for over 6 years and have gotten more than my money's worth from the set. The number of times I've had to start my pilot hole and then set the screw goes on and on. With this, it's so simple to start my hole, flip the bit and set the screw. After 6 years, one of the bits stopped snapping back into place cleanly. However, there are 3 other bits in the set and I switched to one of the 3 remaining and things are fine.



The only negative that I've had with this is that it extends the length of the drill out about another 2 to 3 inches. When I'm doing tight work in cabinets, it gets a bit challenging to use. Other than that, it's the only bit I always keep with my drill.

 "Good combo, not perfect though" 2010-04-12
By Fly Guy (Northern California, USA)
I've used this combo now for a couple of weeks, repairing a small aluminum airplane. I've used the drill mostly, the driver only a couple of times. It replaces a 10-year old 9.6v DeWalt drill.



The Makita is a good but not perfect drill. A few small gripes:



1. The 1.5amp-hour Li-Ion battery lasts for maybe 30 mins of use. So, if you're actively using it, you'll be swapping/recharging batteries throughout the day. Since it does recharge in 15 mins that not a problem for me, but maybe someday I'll get the 3.0 amp-hour battery.



2. Working upside down under the airplane wing, the cooling air blows through it at just the right angle to blow in your face along with aluminum cutting chips, unless you swivel the body to a slightly awkward angle. Yeah, that's an unusual use, but that's what I used it for these couple of weeks.



3. The LED light is a nice idea, but unfortunately the drill chuck casts a shadow on the drill point. Oh well.



4. I wish the driver had a clutch or some way reducing its tightening force...I don't want to torque much with an Al aircraft. But it will be handy for removing screws and bolts.



Nevertheless I heartily recommend this drill and combo if you need both. It's a good value for the money. I got this over its competitors because I wanted the fast recharge. Hope the batteries last!

 "Great Power for the Weight" 2010-03-09
By T. Ganz (USA)
Well constructed, with excellent balance, power, and weight. The impact drive is especially powerful, and would highly recommend getting the combo, as the extra cost is totally worth it. The only complaint I have is that the trigger distance between slow and full speed is very small. This isn't too big of a problem because of the speed selector (on the drill), but I takes a little getting used to after using a NiCd for many years. The case is well designed and compact, and while perhaps not as durable/protective as hard plastic, it stores both drills snuggly, along with charger, and room for a few drill bits. I can't speak for their drills, but my Milwaukee router and circular saw came in massive, unwieldy cases, so having a soft sided, compact case (that could also double as one manly lunchbox) is nice.

 "Video Review on the Makita LXT Blower" 2010-05-24
By Charles Evans (North Carolina)
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1UOE592BNN1A0 I was somewhat skeptical when I ordered the Makita LXT Blower. I was worried that my 1.5aH battery would not fit or even if it did it wouldn't power the blower. I was also worried that even at full power that something this small wouldn't be up to the job - mainly blowing out my garage and cleaning the grass of my sidewalk.



The Answers -



- While the 1.5aH battery is not optimal (although I do have two from my Makita LCT300W 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 3-Piece Combo Kit set), but it does work well enough. The main issue is that the battery life is about 3-5 minutes on the blower's highest setting. However, 4 minutes will blow a lot of grass off of your sidewalks).



- Plenty of power - IF you are blowing on smooth surfaces. If you are planning to use this to blow your leaves into a giant pile you will be disappointed.



- Ultra light - less than 5lbs



- Pull-the-trigger easy - this is what really attracted me to the Makita LXT Blower since about 75% of my clean-up jobs are simple and do not require my gas powered blower. It is great to have the option to grab a light-weight blower and have the job done within a couple of minutes.



- The Makita blower can be converted into a vacuum - but the attachment is NOT included. I was puzzled for a few minutes as I looked for the dust collecting attachment. This is my only complaint, why didn't Makita just include the dust collector?



Final Verdict - I really couldn't be happier. I may eventually buy a Makita BL1830 18v (3.0ah) Lithium-Ion Battery but until then I will be perfectly happy with my current set-up.



5 Stars

 "Small and not very powerful" 2010-05-13
By D. scott
I was surprised at how small this was. And it really isn't that powerful. And, yes, I do have the power turned all the way up. It's good for blowing grass and small leaves, but I don't think it's suitable for heavy duty or even moderate use. Not for piles of grass or leaves.

 "Perfect Compact Blower...Great for Drying Cars" 2010-04-29
By GatorJ (Florida)
This is actually my second compact Makita cordless blower. I had the 14 volt pod style battery model. I also had the cordless drill and work light in the same series. I liked that blower so much, I replaced everything when the new 18 volt LXI lithium-ion series model came out just based on the new blower. Obviously the 14 volt was a good unit, this 18 volt LXI model is like that one on steroids. Don't let the compact size fool you, in fact the BUB182Z almost looks like a toy, this blower puts out a lot of air at excellent velocity. Now, it is not going to work well with heavy wet leaves or stones, but for dirt, dust, dead buds, dry leaves and things along those lines it is perfect. This is all you need to blow out your garage floor or clean off a porch. It is SO convenient not to have to mess with extension cords or gasoline/oil mixes. My favorite use for it, however, is to dry of my cars after washing them. I'm a bit of a fanatic about my cars and how I take care of them. Because of that I'm always concerned about swirls and scratches. This blower can easily dry two cars off one battery charge. Not only can it remove water from the large sheet metal areas, but it is perfect to get at the water you usually can't get at with a microfiber waffle weave drying towel...exterior rear view mirrors, around headlights, door handles, window moldings, gas doors, emblems and similar areas. Before these tools, after I hand dried a car, I'd move it back into the garage or open and shut a door and I would get little streaks of water running down from the places I just mentioned and I'd have to grab a towel and redry those parts of the car again to avoid water spotting. If use this blower, 95% of that is eliminated. You can also easily remove the water from the wheels and tires, so you have much less water running off onto the garage floor.



I really love this tool and recommend it without hesitation. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. It is also a great value. Once you get the charger and batteries (a bit pricey), picking to this tool or the other LXI series tools is really quite reasonable.

 "Just like the original" 2010-04-29
By Gordon Johnson (Augusta, GA USA)
I was way too close to chucking my entire 1998 Makita drill, charger, and two dead batteries, even though the drill worked as good as ever.



Buying this one replacement battery, even for $44 dollars, feels much more responsible. It appears to be equal to the original in every way, even says 'Made in Japan'. I've decided I don't really need two. Amazon's price was among the lowest, but to their advantage, they do not have to take the old batteries back for recycling.

 "My drill battery" 2010-02-14
By Tony Taco (Houston, TX, US)
I really like my new Makita drill battery. It's a nice red color and it recharges nicely in the old charger. All my friends and neighbors comment that I am even more handsome now that I have a new drill battery. I recommend that any one suffering from low self esteem or lower back discomfort should try one of these fine replacement batteries... (I resonantly won a $3 scratch off after my purchase).



Buy this battery through Amazon.com and watch as others are envious of your new found prestige.



Respectfully submitted,

 "New Battery for Old Makita" 2009-11-05
By L. Frankfather (Los Angeles, CA United States)
I got my Makita drill used, several years ago, when a sheet metal construction group replaced their old Makitas with a newer version. My Makita came with two batteries. Recently, just when my sons were beginning a project during which my Makita would be used extensively, one of the old batteries died. I found a 9-3/5-Vold NiCad replacement battery on Amazon; the price was very good, so I ordered two of this item.



The batteries arrived in excellent condition, in the time frame promised. I am very pleased to report that my old Makita is acting like a new drill with the new batteries, and my sons' project has gone much more quickly because of the "new energy" these batteries provide.
