18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Combo Kit Hammer Drill/ Impact Driver/ Circular Saw/ Flashlight

Very great tool that works as advertised. I lost my last set while moving so i came went on homedepot to order the same set. This is a year later review and they have held up great. They are for everyday use and still have the same power as when i first got them.

Switching from Milwakee to Makita! Received in a Makita box with no packaging to protect the drill and impact just bouncing around inside the box and the batteries have scuffs on them. Very disappointed in makita packaging and possible the is a return being sold as new! I will be returning to Home Depot see if another one from store is packed the same

These batteries are great they last a long time because of how the charger keeps them cool while charging. I got them a great price.

DO NOT BUY.. I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY. Had my mother not been home, our entire home would have burned down. The battery was left to charge for the day and our dog started barking when the battery was catching fire. I feel like this should be a lawsuit but want to protect others from having this happen to them. I repeat.. this is really dangerous. My mom threw it outside while it was on fire and a few minutes later it exploded. Had it exploded while she was moving it, it could have really caused serious injuries.

Bought this compact combo, which included an extra 2AH Battery. Was looking hard at the Big Red M tool line, but based on more than a few negative comments on the Red Hammer Drill I decided to go with Makita, Besides, I would rather have a Japanese tool over a China tool any day. Both the drill and the impact are very powerful. I like the advanced battery charger system with a chip in the battery and a CPU in the charger to enable a precision charge that optimizes battery charge and health. I like both tools fell solid and run great. I only have a couple of gripes after two days of steady use. First, the light on the tool is located just above the trigger and aims up at the bit. Only problem is that since the light is below the bit, you don’t actually get any light where you need it. The light is very bright, which tends to magnify the darkness of the shadow on top of the bit where you are looking trying to see the screw. The attached pic demonstrates the shadow effect, although this was taken in a well lit garage so the effect is not as pronounced in the photo, but I think you can get the idea. It’s tough to see anything of the top of the bit or screw in darker areas. Makita needs to adopt the three light setup around the face of the tool. Last gripe has to do with the fwd/rev selector switch, which is a standard type switch that you push from right to left for forward and vice versa for reverse. The switch is like butter, which normally would be a good thing. As long as you are running the drill in forward the switch is fine, but I find when I have the drill in reverse the selector switch rides right where my trigger finger wants to ride and with that buttery selector switch, there is a tendency to inadvertantly move the switch to the netural positon or to the forward position as you manipulate the tool. This is a great set for the money, but if I did a lot of work in dark areas the light would be a deal breaker for me, you just can’t see anything without addtional light on the work. If you work in well lit areas or only occasionally work in dark areas it will be fine. The selector switch is something that I will get used to in time. These two gripes warrant the 4 star rating.

Couldn’t recommend the 5.0 Ah batteries more. Although they are heavier- suck it up, it builds muscle ;). I love that I can count on the quick charge time and how long each battery lasts. Depending what tool, I can go 2-4 hours on one battery using constantly. I now have three of them and watch for deals. I couldn’t be happier.

Battery ran out too fast the battery is manufature defected

After the $150 sticker shock for this battery subsided, I have been completely satisfied with its longevity while using it to drive deck screws. Lasted a solid 6 hours with continuous use and the charger had it ready to go again in roughly 30 minutes. Highly recommend!

Last much longer than the 3.0. A bit pricey though

I pirchased this product because I needed a hammer drill. The second it came I opened the product and was pleased with the carrying case. I charged the batteries and put it right to work. It drilled every hole without a problem. I own other Makita products and have never had any complaints or issues and the charge time is awesome. I would reccomend this product to anyone in the market for a new drill
