Makita LCT200W 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 2-Piece ...
Anyone that actually uses tools daily would never expect more than this drill and driver will deliver and I have some seriously tough expectations of my tools. I didn’t use the Drill Driver near as much as the impact driver, but overall, it met my expectations. First of all, this is an OUTSTANDING Drill/driver combo. Both the drill and driver will do all you ask, are very light weight, and as comfortable to work with as a tool made specifically for your hand. is that the drill is MUCH lighter, and since you can recharge the battery in fifteen min. By far the best drill and impact driver available today. If you are a person within reason then give these drills and drivers serious consideration. A variable clutch is a superb feature to possess on the cord-less drill. These change routinely using the density from the supplies being drilled. I want to point out to all who have read reviews about the batteries being poor that the ones who have written those reviews have neglected to point out that the batteries that come with the set are 1. If you really NEED to, you can purchase 2 additional batteries for around 80 bucks and you would still be about $100 under the LXT combo set. 0 Ah batteries, or I was told that the 3 Ah batteries are compatible with this kit, but not vice versa. 0 Amph batteries are sold with a seperate combo set (LXT-202) which is nearly twice the price. I just recently built a 10×12 pergola that included 4×6 posts, 2×10 beams and 2×8 rafters in about 3 days and I charged a battery three times during that span. If you want a battery that lasts you all day and into the night then by all means go get yourself a 192 lb. back pack of a battery that you”ll need wheels to move around. To give this combo set 2 stars because a reviewer neglects to take in account value in proportionate to functionality does a disservice to us all. Here is somthing else to chew on. I bought my set for $180 online about a year ago(that included s&h) and now I haven’t seen this set for under $250 (NEW, not refurbished). Several of the contractors on the show have this exact combo set sitting in the background and/or being used in plane sight. If you’re like me, a very busy DIY’er, this combo set is perfect. I started off using the Dewalt for driving the hex-bolts into the T-Nuts, but once I used the impact driver for the first time, I hardly put it down again after. Both were much lighter than my Dewalt, and overall, that weight made a huge difference on my own fatigue factor over the 4-day installation, than if I would have used the Dewalt exclusively. 5 hr battery will give you plenty of work without adding weight that no one wants to carry around. 0 amph batteries for this set if you wanted (they’re interchangable. In addition, since you have 2 batteries you’re not gonna have any down time. I found these batteries to be adequate for a general home user – particularly with the 15-minute recharge cycle time. If long life is what you need, you should either purchse the kit that comes with the 3. 4v Dewalt for the installation of one of those giant wood swing-sets. Anyone griping about battery life needs to rethink things a bit. I’ve been using cordless tools for 20 some years and this line by Makita surpasses the best ever offered. 0 hr battery to an already near perfect kit....
