Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The battery life is outstanding. All the name manufacturers use name brand cells lg, sony, samsung so it's the electronics that really matter. I hope it has the longevity my old one did.

First makita drill. Used a 4” bore and drilled though 1” pine several times, battery is still full. The drill is a bit heavier then my old one, but it is also sturdier and hopefully will last longer.

It has tons of power, is controllable due to the settings, and is super compact and light. They are sturdy and have ample power.

Impact driver is lightweight and very powerful. Most start impacting at the slightest resistance, but this one allows you to drill at high rpm’s smoothly, without * into impact mode prematurely. The xdt16 impact driver is awesome, its really small and... Read More

Quality

As with all of my makita cordless tools, these are powerful, have a long battery life, are very well built, and seem to last forever.

I got a dewault, it worked until the battery life was terrible and barely could drive a screw much less punch a hole.

This is an amazing set, and the price was a bargain!

The batteries for this set are like 200 bucks on amazon which is over half the total cost.

It's a no-brainer to buy this instead of one of the single-tool kits -- you get a second top-of-the-line tool for only a few dollars more.

Shipping

Arrived sooner than expected and was as advertised.

Just arrived so no real conclusion of performance.

The product came in the day it was scheduled to come in.

Packaging/appearance

Upon opening the outer box i immediately noticed the red sticker in the original makita packaging.

Everything was neatly packaged and everything was in the bag.

Competitiveness

Check the price of any kit with xph07 and concurrent impact driver and you can see that this package was the nuts as far as qua... Read More

I have a lot of malika cordless tools, and feel i am forever tied to malika because of the investment i have in batteries.

All the name manufacturers use name brand cells lg, sony, samsung so it's the electronics that really matter.

Makita won over bosch and milwaukee in this case for a couple of reasons.
