I would recommend this tool to anyone. At first I thought the light was a gimmick, but I've come to really like it. This is a great tool. Very well built, plenty of power, compact, good balance, light weight, quick battery recharge time (comes with two), and a pleasure to use.
and dewalt had a torque adjustment to lower and raise torque best 200 bucks ive spent in a long time i replaced a 10 yr old dewalt 12 volt impact driver , and this little monster can go right in your back pocket and the 18 vlot seems to run forever , and if it doesnt it charges in 15 min three things i would change , needs a belt clip, dewalt had a place to keep two other bits.
this is a powerful, light and easy to handle tool and I highly recommend it, you will love using it. My new one is even lighter than the one I tried. RWW I am extremely satisfied with this Makita Driver. A friend uses one and I tried it and ordered my own.
Buy one. I had been toying with the idea of buying an impact driver for some time, and I finally bought the Makita about 2 months ago. Since then, I forgot what it was like to not have this tool.
I'm sure some synergized marketing team decided that the "compact" tools needed their own brand identity and whatever all else, but really, this is just ridiculous. The fact that they don't include the cheap little belt clip thingy is also kinda insulting. If I have anything negative to say about its performance it would have to be that it can be a bit TOO powerful at times, and there's no clutch adjustment to be found so be super careful around drywall.
All those extra seams are just going to trap more dirt, and I can't think of too many times when I've ever needed a glow-in-the-dark collet. Now I have to pay $6 to ship a $2 accessory that nobody carries locally. If you're trapped throwing up screws in an attic or crawlspace somewhere, odds are good you've either got a light or there simply isn't enough around to "charge" it up in the first place.
I opted for this over Bosch's smaller, lighter and cheaper impact driver because of the additional torque and because it was actually easier to get into tight spaces despite its overall girth. or GI Joe toy designer from the late 80s got carried away and decided to slap one of every kind of plastic the factory had to offer just because he could. Yay.
All-in-all I'm pretty happy with it.What I don't like is all the cheeseball plastic ornamentation. You can make a modern ergonomic tool without making it look like some M.A.S.K.
