Summary: Lots of Good, But One Problem....
Comment: Have had this kit for just under a year. The weight of the tools is phenomenal. Very light and excellent balance. The impact gun is pretty impressive. The drill, however, doesn't really have the ooomph I was hoping for. And if you are doing a lot of drilling, expect your batteries to get very hot, and also to take a very long time to cool down before the charger will start charging them. I've had these guns heat up quite a bit while under heavy use, so much so that I've had to put gloves on. This is drilling into steel, by the way. These are great guns for the price and the weight, but under heavy usage (I'm a scenic carpenter in the entertainment industry), the drill is less than impressive. And the clutch just died on it. I'm going to stick with Makita, but I'm going for the more powerful guns.

Summary: Lightweight, Powerful, and Compact
Comment: I work for a construction company and we bought all of our guys and the shop workers these drills. (about 8 or 9 total) These are lightweight, more powerful and lighter than any other drill I have used. BE GENTLE. Obviously Makita makes durable tools, but one has broken when it fell from a 10' ladder, obviously. Other than that, these drills are awesome and will continuously buy them or others. BATTERIES ARE AWESOME, but do not leave on charger, when its done take it off. THIS WILL KILL YOUR BATTERY. The light on it also helps if working at night or in the dark like we do for our company. Hope this helps. Dont kill your batteries. They are expensive lol.

Summary: Hubby loves it!
Comment: My husband loves his new drill. It isn't as heavy as his Dewalt is so it is easier to use. He looks for stuff around the house to use it on.

Summary: Best power tool I own
Comment: (From July 17, 2007) I'm a lead carpenter for a residential remodeler. I've owned 11 cordless drills over the years (currently I have 4) and this Makita is not only the best of the bunch, by far, it may be the best power tool I own. I've had it for about a month now and I've used it everyday. I have a complete compliment of "quick disconnect" bits so I also use this driver as a drill. I've drilled holes in concrete and block using masonry bits and it will easily countersink Tap-cons. I thought the little work light was a gimmicky thing but I have to admit, its a big help in tight dark places, I've even used it as a flashlight. For the size, weight, price, quality, power, etc, etc, you can't beat this drill/driver. The batteries charge in about 15 minutes but they last for days so with 2 batteries, you'll never be without a charged battery. The tool came with a soft square carrying case, kind of looks like a cooler. Since I hate wearing a tool belt rig, this case is great, if you remove the charger, this case will hold a bunch of standard handtools as well as the drill.
This is a great product, I highly recommend it.
*Update>> Its been just over a year and I have to say this drill is as good as the day I got it. In the last few months I purchased the combo kit, the drill and impact driver. I was curious to see if the first one I bought was still as strong as the brand new one. I see no difference. I am still more impressed with these drills/drivers than any tool I own....and its about time Makita sends me some free stuff for the gushing reviews. Seriously tho, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: 5 stars so far
Comment: [...]
Good through September 2008.
I don't have any chuck wobble as some others have described on either tool and the batteries have been fine so far. Knock on wood.
The impact driver is the only way to go for any medium to heavy duty screw driving. I used 4" x 3/8" hex head lag screws to hang a 2x4 in the garage(then put screws into that for hanging brooms, shovels etc). I could have countersunk the head of the lag into the 2x4 there was that much power.
With the drill set to 2nd gear and on the drilling torque setting it went through 3/4" hard maple without breaking a sweat. Nice tools.
I had a guy install a garage door recently and he had the blue version of these tools. When I told him I had the black and white(shamu) version, he wouldn't shut up about how great he thought they were. He used the impact driver to do the whole install -- rails, springs, hinges, all the hardware.
I'll update with any problems.
