Well built, strong motor, battery life is great and the price was very reasonable. For a pro or a homeowner looking for quality, this is great tool from a great breand with a vast battery platform. Very happy with my purchase.

This is my first impact driver and I am a big Makita fan (30 years). This driver with the two batteries has plenty of charge in putting together a small deck (only used one battery and it lasted). It drove the deck screws smoothly and easily versus the old way with drilling holes so not to split the wood and then with a drill bit to set the screws. I would recommend!

Tool works perfectly and is very handy.

The battery lasts pretty long and it does the job I need it to.
Michale Denesik (verified owner) –
I use this together with a drill to install deck screws and it saves a lot of time.

It just doesn’t have the power, it started to heat up after using it for maybe 30 minutes, and it feels lightweight in comparison to some other brands like Milwaukee. Gets the job done, but it’s average.

Wow! what a difference a few volts can make. I upgraded from a 3 yr old 12 volt Makita impact driver to this 18 volt one, I barely have to touch the screw to the board and it feels like it is just sucked in with barely any pressure being applied by me. If there is a difference in the weight I don’t notice it because its so fast and smooth. I might have to buy another one for my husband so he wont keep barrowing mine and misplacing it!

Does the job but heats up quickly and requires multiple batter changes for only a couple hours work.

It’s all good

This is an incredible tool. Started building a playhouse for the kids and was using a drill bit then switching drive screws… now just a quick zip with this gun and my screws are set deep.
