Heavy Duty
This driver is much heavier and stronger than the Lithium powered ones. I thought having a cord would just mean extra reliability, but it also means having a very high torque, power driver. I intend to use this after my deck project for installing over head drywall. The perfect heavy duty application.

It's weak. I bought this for a log cabin build. Needed to drive 12 inch spax screws to pull courses of logs together. This tool simply couldn't do it. It would either get stuck in the middle or couldn't provide that last burst to force logs in place. Very disappointed. Had a lot of hopes for it. Ended up using cordless Milwaukee drill drivers that people who've done it before all had. First time disappointed in Makita. Corded Makita drills (DS4011) did well drilling 12 inch deep half inch holes for dowels. Both screws and dowels were being done for several weeks most of the and every day. So it was a very good test for a better tool. Returning this and getting a cordless Milwaukee drill driver. This tool will probably do well for smaller screws but for the price tag is not worth it.

    For those who do not need the convenience of a cordless one, take this. You need not to think about spending $80 on a high Ah battery that you might just lay it around for nothing. This guarantee full rated torque always, not like battery one that torque diminished proportionally as battery juice dropped. So, if you don't need the cordless convenience, take this corded one.

    Very awesome tool, made in Japan , great quality. Would definitely recommend this driver. Its smart to have it because batteries dies and it's very expensive to replace so having this corded tool is a must have.

    Works great. Power for days..On the down side, rafter hook gets in the way some times and is tough to remove without tools.I do wish this driver has either a speed switch or a slower ramp up to full power. It takes some getting used to and it can be tough not to over drive.

    Drove in 2 1/2” wood screws into studs easily. As an occasional DIYer love the corded driver, don’t have to wait to charge batteries.

    All the benefits of an impact driver without having to replace batteries. Have been driving screws FAST through pine without the need for pilot holes. I’ve also greatly enjoyed drilling with impact drill bits. Pricey but greatly satisfied.

    This is a tremendous tool. Worth every penny. It is much lighter than my Milwaukee 1/2 inch drill and is easy to use for long periods of time. However, because of the impact feature, I was able to drive screws though concrete backerboard and into the studs with absolute ease in less than half the time compared to a standard drill. The impact also made it much easier to get the screws seated at the proper depth in the backerboard. I have done this same task with a standard drill and there is no comparison. The tool is well made and has a very solid feel. I like the ability to switch bits quickly with the collet on the driver vs a chuck. I highly recommend this product.

    This mine as well be a drill. I wanted a corded impact driver and this is the only one I could find on the market. Tried using it and it just stripped screws. It was all rotation and no impact action. I returned right away.

    The only corded impact driver
    I don't like cordless power tools and am glad that this corded impact driver is available. It's a bit costly over some of the cordless model of equal function. However, knowing that I don't need to spend any more money on battery, everything is fine.

      Great tool for the DIYer
      I have never had very good luck with cordless tools because of dead batteries all the time. The Makita 6952 Impact Driver was just what I was looking for. I've only used it a few times so far, but it appears to work great.
