This drill/impact driver kit showed me how tools SHOULD function. The impact driver is my most used and indispensable tool I own and it is POWERFUL. I’ve used it with a spade bit to cut holes in studs to run plumbing/electric and it could break your wrist if you’re not careful - it’s a beast. A monster. A demon. It must be respected.
I have rebuilt an entire home with these tools, started doing paid contracting work, custom furniture building, you name it - and they haven’t shown one sign of slowing down regardless of the abuse, drops and falls, or using them for a job that calls for a more “powerful” tool like a rotary hammer or mixing drill. I did find the drill’s limit when mixing a 5 gallon bucket of some thick Venetian plaster, but the drill shut itself off at the right time to avoid any damage, flashing its LED to let me know it needed a break.
The big thing with this kit is the BATTERIES! The 5amp batteries for the price are what made me go with this kit initially over the comparable black and yellow brand. It’s almost like you’re getting the most pro quality tools for free when you consider how much these batteries cost on their own. On these tools the 5amp batteries could get you through a week’s worth of heavy daily use. They’ve also never let me down when using them in other more power hungry tools like saws and my angle grinder. After 2 years of heavy daily use I do not notice any loss in battery life.
Whether these are your first power tools or you’re upgrading from something more entry level, these are worth every penny and much much more. They are built to LAST and you will never outgrow these as your skills and projects advance.
I would also highly recommend going with these over the cheaper non-brushless Makitas if you’re debating between them - The difference is massive. My mom has the non-brushless kit and they feel like children’s toys in comparison to these and the batteries are not compatible with the broader range of Makita tools. Once you have these and the 5amp batteries it makes the rest of the Makita line quite affordable when buying “tool-only” since these batteries can handle anything you throw at it.
