Customer Reviews for Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 1/4 in. Oil-Impulse Brushless Cordless 3-Speed Impact Driver (Tool-Only)

Great product, too bad they discontinued the speed feature.

When i first got it. It worked fine and it was quiet. After about a month it kept gettig louder and loude and now after 6 months its falling apart. Definately not made to last

This is the first time I've owned a cordless tool, so thought I would get a good one. I have used this many times since getting it and it is now my go to tool. It's pricy, but also really nice!

Great new toy and worth every penny.. I'm a carpenter and I use my impact driver almost everyday at work. Today I installed lag bolts with ease and then I had to fix my belt sander which had tiny screw and not one stripped.. Great toy and it's not as loud as my old one.. Don't cheap out this one is worth the money..

I'm a cabinet maker who does a lot of installs. Especially in schools and hospitals where a normal impact driver is too loud. It's at least 75% more quiet and has a 'T' mode that gives extra control over driving screws. This driver is well worth the price

This impact driver, is not only powerful but also lightweight and built to last. This impact driver has a digital variable speed control. This control provides ultimate control for any task, allowing you to apply the right amount of power needed. The speed controls display lights up showing the level and speed it is set on. Like most other Makita tools, it comes with an LED light, illuminating your work space. The tool doesn't come with a battery, but uses the 18 volt batteries standard to Makita tools. Of which paired with the battery, this tool will run for a long time.

Just bought this as a replacement for my last makita brushless drill. Couldnt find it in store so ordered it online. Shipping was really fast and the drill works great. Neat having adjustable settings for different jobs.

We are upgrading from the previous generation at work, which performed so well and held up to constant use and abuse that I went out and bought a personal set. That said, those don't even hold a candle to these lil monsters and I am trying to get some sort of trade in rebate upgrade from our supplier for my personal set, because I love these things. I have driven plenty of 1/2" bolts (no torque necessary with a full hit) and then 5/8" - 1" before finishing them off with a 3/4" drive torque wrench and it is so much easier to carry while climbing around on a machine being assembled than the big heavy air impact with airlines that I have to keep swapping to reach various areas. Great battery life. Only drawback is that snapping the socket adapters is pretty common. Have yet to find ones that hold up. Top brand expensive ones don't perform any better than the midrange. Have snapped a few 3/8" grade 5 bolts with it.
