Really solid tool for the money. Only downside is that Makita packs it with a 3ah battery that’s the size of a 5ah one. I would’ve preferred something more compact.

This drill has excellent torque, incredibly long lasting battery life, and is an ergonomic carrying tool. I have used it day in and day out for several weeks since I’ve purchased it as a commercial carpenter apprentice, and I will continue to use Makita products because of how impressed I am with this drill. From putting steel screws into galvanized posts, to tightening anchor bolts, to small precise framing screws this drill is the one stop shop for all your building needs.

The Makita driver I purchased is working very well. As a screw drive it performs as expected. I would suggest a torque function though. As a nut driver it has plenty of power and torque.

This is a great little piece. Yes, it is made in China, but it feels great in the hand, it’s super powerful, and everything about it says “quality”. I was pleasantly surprised to find an automatic LED in a product that was on the lower end of the price scale. Nothing is perfect, but the only thing I found the least bit unsatisfying was the bag. It’s rather small and looks awkward when zipped because it’s not form-fitted or shaped to pack up nicely, but it does the job of holding all the parts, plus an additional item or two. In other words, if they had not put the bag in, this would be one of the most positive reviews I’ve ever written.

I am very pleased with the performance of this product. It does a better job on sheetrock screws than using just a regular drill. Glad for the purchase and the price wasn’t bad either!

Packaging was well prepared to protect the tool. Delivered on time, but I wish the FedEx driver had notified me when he delivered to my front porch. The tool arrived in the original box, so could have been a tempting if someone had seen it. I don’t have a project yet to use the impact drill, but I expect it to meet or go beyond my needs.

Great little impact! I use this when I am working on cars and doing carpentry work, and its got plenty of power!

Exceeded my expectations. Bought this for my husband for Christmas. He was tired of the power screw drivers he has that don’t have much muscle. This has power behind the driver and my husband said it really pushes the screws in with ease.
