Product reviewsMakita DLX2145TJ 18V 2x5.0Ah Li-ion Hammer Drill Impact Driver Kit Rapid Charger

Powerful Impact driver

I have a wide range of Makita LXT cordless tools with some dating back to Ni-MH battery powered and have never had any complaint. They are powerful and convenient to take anywhere. I wouldn't go back to mains powered tools.
I have given it 4 stars because I'm a little disappointed with the Impact driver. It is very powerful, I've been driving 90 x 5 mm screws into new timber full depth and beyond without pilot holes no problem. My complaint is with the trigger. It is difficult to control the speed slowly because it is rather sticky. One doesn't always want full speed and power, especially when starting screws or driving smaller screws. I would like better control of slow speed running and perhaps a non-linear characteristic.
One point I would make is to use bits designed for impact drivers, it gets through even good quality 'normal' bits at an alarming rateRead full review...

Makita drill and impact driver set

These were to replace my original ones which were worn out. I only ever buy makita tools because of their quality and durability. The only negative comment I’ve got is the case these tools come in for some reason makita have replaced the flat case which had storage compartments for driver bits etc with this horrendous big box that has no storage and you can leave any bits in the tools because they won’t fit in the case, consequently Im using my old case with the new toolsRead full review...

Birthday Gift

Bought this for son as a birthday gift, his choice. He has used it several times now and it is so quick and easy to do. Put up a roller blind for us in half the time it normally took him with his previous drill. Great price too.Read full review...

Really Good Equipment

Make sure you register for a 3 year warranty. Very sturdy and powerful items and the batteries last a long time and are quick to charge. Bought it because Makita does a variety of tools using the same batteries.Read full review...

Very good kit but essentially for professional use rather than the odd diy little jobs.
