Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Over the years i have used nearly every brand of cordless tool imaginable.There has always been advantages and disadvantages to each.Not with the Makita LXT line though.I own the Drill/Driver and the impact driver and each is everything advertised.They are lighter than other 18v models. They are tough, the battery charge lasts at least twice as long as any I have ever used and four times longer than the craftsman I upgraded from.If you can swallow the price, buy this tool it is worth every penny.
