Nice
I haven’t done the voltage and charge-discarge test to test it right (and am not the guy to do that,) but I sell batteries, solar electric products and such for a living, and the sound, action and ultimate performace so far is killer. If you get, let’s say, B&D ‘Firestorm’ 18 volt batteries, the [...]

Works fine… don’t forget to oil it
I bought this because a professional arborist wanted $300 to prune the tree in front of the house. My job ain’t as pretty, but I got it done. The saw works great on large branches. Not so much so on smaller branches that flex so it can’t get a [...]

Great Tools Set for the Price, Needs Better Packaging
I received this product via free shipping, and like the other reviewers, mine was poorly packaged. No box in a box, just the mfr box. Corners were dented, box was torn up, looked like it had been dropped on one end a few times. [...]

Still “My new favorite tool.”
I’m a lead carpenter for a residential remodeler. I’ve owned 11 cordless drills over the years (currently I have 4) and this Makita is not only the best of the bunch, by far, it may be the best power tool I own. I’ve had it for about a month now and [...]

Fast Powerful Cuts
I was surprised at how easy this cordless cuts through materials. There is no cord to get tangled and hooked on corners, and the power-brake makes it much safer than other circular saws I have used. It’s lightweight and very comfortable, which is typical of the newer Makita tools. This saw has a [...]

Good drill set
I screwed approx 120 2″ deck screws into flooring before replacing carpet on one battery cycle with the driver. The drill is heavy if you are using it overhead. I wish the light on the drill focused on the screwdriver tip better. When I use this drill, I feel like I will [...]

Best ever used
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. [...]

Excellent light duty chainsaw
This saw will fell and buck two average trees 5-7″ at the base before the battery pack runs down. I would be inclined to lop manually for small trees like these, so that the battery will last a bit longer, and safety is a bit higher.
4 stars since the convenience [...]

Battery is a bummer
I got two with my drill two years ago. First one lasted three months, second one 1.5 years with VERY LIGHT useage. Black & Decker I had lasted 5 years with heavy use. I don’t know if it’s the Makita charger or the batteries. I would not buy [...]
