"cheap drill, not worth the money" 2010-02-01
By Yousef Yahya Aljabri
the build qaulity of this drill is very bad. yes it is chinese made but it should be properly made. you can notice the poor quality manufacturing when you use the drill as the chuck loosen by it self when you operate the drill. seriously this was a total disappointment for me and i should have sticked with DeWalt.

"Satisfied with Makita BHP454 Cordless Hammer Drill" 2010-01-30
By troutbum (Colorado)
The first drill delivered was defective with a bent/wobbly chuck. The drill had been dropped placing a noticable dent near the nose of the chuck causing a severe wobble. However, Amazon immediately shipped a perfect replacement arriving three days later. The drill has power, speed and the outside finish is beautiful. This drill will deliver for years to come.

"Fantastic drill." 2010-01-23
By J. Eiger (Cleveland, Oh)
I've been using the 18 volt Makita cordless drills for a few years now. I have hundreds of hours of use on them. Since I've switched to using all screws in home remodeling, instead of nails, these tools get a lot of use. Extremely reliable. The hammer drill setting has drilled in every hard material I've thrown at it (up to a 1/2 inch bit). I still use the corded hammer drill for large deep holes in concrete.

I have installed 1000's of screws with these drill/screwdrivers. Never a problem.

The only con I've noticed is that the speed switch can become very hard to slide between settings. You have to rev the drill between positions to get the switch to slide. Annoying but acceptable.

"MAKITA BHP454 LITHIUM HAMMER DRILL" 2009-10-04
By C. Fowler (Dallas Texas)
I've owned many hammer drills for my general contractor business.

The Makita BHP454 Hammer Drill is very good quality but has one major failure same as but worse than my Hitachi Hammer Drills: The key-less chuck spits out the drill bits and screw driver bits when you release the trigger.

The electric brake stops the motor quickly and the inertia of the chuck loosens the jaws and the tool drops out !!!!!!!!!!! This is a major annoyance.

I've called Makita and they do not have a keyed-Jacobs chuck as a replacement.

"Outstanding Drill!" 2010-08-26
By D. Frank (Kent, WA)
I have been using this drill for a while now and am extremely impressed! The feel, functionality, power, and battery life is far superior to all of the drills I have used. The battery seems to last for a very long time and charges quickly. The drill has an excellent ratcheting chuck and grips the bits well with no slippage. It is very powerful but compact to fit in tight spaces. I believe I have found the finest drill on the market, it is the Makita BDF452!

"Wow major power" 2010-05-16
By I. Pagel (Stevens Point, WI)
Wow this drill has major power. Light weight and the battery last forever. I used it to drill a 5/8 inch by 18 inch long hole through my maple tree. the tree split and I inserted a 1/2 Inch threaded rod to hold it together.

"Saweeet!" 2009-11-08
By Justin Mytwocents (United States)
I am DIYer and take on everything from basement finishing to roof rebuilding. I build decks for neighbors and remodel kitchens for friends and their friends. I demand a lot from my tools and tend to do lot's of research when buying them. I replaced a Panasonic 6450 with this drill. The Panasonic was an awesome drill and it's replacement was to have a very high bar to clear. I can say this drill sets a new standard. It has performed to the same level as the Panasonic, but it is both lighter and shorter, (the two features that influenced my decision) The batteries charge quicker, but this is just an observation since I never ran into the problem of having both batteries out of juice with the Panasonic. The next battery was always waiting before I could run the out the other. Nothing has stood out to dislike with the Makita, and based on my experience with Makita and the drill so far I give it full marks.

"GREAT drill!" 2009-07-29
By The Unincredible Inedible Alex (Hampton Roads, VA)
I have this kit along with the Makita BDF452HW kit and love them both to pieces. Both are solid performers in every sense of the word and are very light as well. I have worked the crap out of both of them and they just keep asking for more. You simply cannot go wrong with either of these drills.

That being said the only difference between this kit (BDF452) and the BDF452HW is the color(white vs blue), the plastic grip around the chuck, and the batteries. The BDF452HW includes 1.5 ampere hour batteries, where this kit includes the 3.0ah batteries, offering twice the runtime. If you can deal with a shorter, but still surprisingly good, runtime, you can save about $100 and go with the BDF452HW.

Either way, expect a great tool that should last for many years to come.

(PS- There were those who had battery issues, but apparently Makita has worked them out, as I have 8 Makita LiOn power tools for over a year and have had no issues whatsoever with battery longevity.)

"Great little drill" 2010-07-01

This is a great drill with lots of power for it size. will buy again.

"Excellent high quality tool, all the grunt, much less weight" 2010-06-30
By Ed (Florida)
I purchased this drill after buying the Makita BTD142HW Li-Ion impact driver kit which included the charger and two batteries. This drill is much lighter and more compact than my Craftsman 19.2V bruisers (those things just won't die). The decision to upgrade to a smaller drill was made after driving over 300 2.5" screws at eye level while installing balusters. This is a fantastic tool: compact, sturdy, well balanced, comfortable (the grip tapers toward the battery, compare this to a Bosch). The factory reconditioned tool was brand new, not a scratch or blemish. The clutch, chuck and speed control switch all worked perfectly.

The compact Li-Ion battery is light and has plenty of juice, recharging only takes 15 minutes so you'll never be able to "lap" your battery charger (a common occurance with the old Craftsman on hot summer days). Besides, the full size LXT battery is compatible with this drill and charger if you really need to upgrade to 3.0 amp hours from 1.5. The chuck can only be tightened by grasping it and running the drill. Done gently enough, you can hear the chuck click into place holding your bit.

The drill was delivered ahead of schedule with no issues whatsoever, and you can't beat the price. I highly recommend this tool.

"Great Drill" 2010-05-24
By Alfred Friedrich (CT USA)
I have that drill now for over a year, I am a contractor and we almost never use corded drills, we use them almost every day, and yes they do fail after a few years of heavy abuse, I used to use the Panasonic drill, also a superb drill, but with the heavy use we have, I prefer the Makita, it is less expensive.

I have heard some bad things about makita reconditioned tools.

"Enough power to do most work" 2010-09-27
By SirFixALot
Makita makes wonderful tools. This is no exception. I debated between the 10V and the 18V drill, based on my first hand experience with the 9.7V NiCd drill (also Makita and still works, but don't care much for the NiCd battery). I ended up with the 10.8V. The torque generated from the 10.8V drill is certainly enough to do everything I use it for. If you are not the kind that equates more horse-power to better tool, the 10.8V will do the job. The variable speed control works very well. There is a lot of torque at the very low speed. The battery works as well as I expected. I didn't notice any lost of battery capacity when it is stored (over a week of time). The finish quality of this tool is very good. I keep mine in the case, but it can take some serious abuse and I think it would survive of years. This drill fits very well in my hand. It is light, but don't confuse light weight with cheaply made goods. There is nothing of this tool that would suggest anything but quality. If you are considering this tool, this is a great tool.

"Makita cordless drill model DF330DW" 2010-09-26
By James O. Clifton
I like the drill its small lightweight and easy to use. I wish i would have upgraded to a model that has the heavy duty battery as the Makita model BDF 452 HW . For light duty use i would highly reccomend this drill

"Very ergonomic." 2010-09-22
By Robert Delancey (japan)
It seems solidly built, though I haven't had it long enough to be sure. It's really light and small, so it's easy to do detail work at odd angles.

"Joy to use" 2010-09-12
By Robert M. Porter (Massachusetts)
I bought this to replace an very old 9.6V Makita which broke when it got dropped. This tool is very well balanced, powerful for it's size and a good value. It fits nicely in my hand and it is a joy to use.

It is not a tool for tough jobs. This is a great lightweight "around the house" drill. I have a 1/2" DeWalt 18V Battery powered drill and a 1/2" 10AMP Corded DeWalt for the tough stuff.

The only complaint I have is the light doesn't project light on the exact spot you need it. It illuminates the area and that is a help but if the light could angle up toward the chuck slightly it would be great. Overall this is a superb lightweight drill. I haven't had long so the true test of this tool would be how I feel about after 5 or 6 years. As with any new technology and product it will interesting to see if it lives up to its promise.

Buy Cheap Makita 6347DWDE 18-Volt NiMH Cordless Drill/Driver Kit From Here Now!
Here comes power and efficiency in a great compact size. Before you even press the trigger, you'll love how this tool fits in your hand, how well-balanced it is. The rubberized grip gives you a sure, comfortable hold, even at odd angles. Performance is top-notch, thanks to dual ball bearings, precision balancing and a refined high-grade field magnet. We're really impressed by Makita's exclusive Shift Lock Drive. With a single touch, you shift quickly and easily "drill" to "driver" mode, locking out the clutch for superior drilling. And we love it when manufacturers include two batteries with their tools, because that means no down time. The charger handles multi-volt batteries, too, so it's good for a wide range. Maintenance is simple because the brushes are accessible. A great, hardworking drill/driver.

"Battery Life Poor" 2010-08-04
By Chica speaks (DC)
The tools work fine but the batteries do not hold a charge after a couple of years, this is with intermittent use. Considering the replacement cost of the just the batteries the product is not a good value.

"Good while the Batteries LAst" 2010-06-23
By Joseph E. Kucharski (south Florida)
Let me say that the drill did perform well on all tasks: screw driving, drilling and hammer drilling. Problem was both batteries would no longer hold charge after eight months of use. They were most likely charge cycled about 25 times. I did use it alot for high current tasks such as lag screw driving and hammer drilling so the deep discharging my have something to do with it. May be a good tool for homeowner tasks. My Rigid 18 volt had better torque and the batteries are still working and its an older tool. I did notice newer Makita LiOn tools use a different style battery connection design thus your older tools (NiMH) can't use them. Rigid tools bought with NiMH batteries can be used with newer Lion batteries

"Second to None!" 2009-09-14
By R. Savage (Black Hills, SD)
This is my second 18volt Makita. First lasted 6 years of mid to heavy use and two sets of batteries before the trigger switch failed. Ordered this one to replace it and then found a new trigger switch for the old one and have it working again....great to have two on hand!

"Makita 18 volt Drill" 2009-05-16
By R. E. A. (Saint Inigoes, MD)
It works great. I have used it for over four years and it does has never let me down. The extra battery is a must.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

"Can handle anything" 2009-01-04
By C. G. King (Horse Country, VA USA)
I've had this drill nearly two years and it has proved to be very powerful and reliable, plus the battery seems to last forever. I've drilled through 1/4" thick metal, through 25-year-old treated oak fence boards and driven 3" long screws into ancient barn supports (think petrified wood) as well as more normal things. I bought this drill after my electric one died (couldn't handle the really hard stuff and burned out). I had doubts about a cordless drill, but not anymore. I don't use it every day. I'm not a contractor, just an ordinary female person running a little farm, but it doesn't seem to mind neglect in between uses.

At first, I wondered if the weight would be a problem, but it hasn't been because the drill is so well balanced. When the battery finally wore down after many, many months of no use interspersed with very hard use, the other battery took over instantly, still holding a full charge after sitting unused for just as long (not in the charger--it's not supposed to be left in the charger) and the original one recharged in under an hour.

I like having a case as I can store all the bits and such along with the drill. The drill has multiple power settings, the ability to switch seamlessly between driving and extracting which comes in handy when extracting the bit from a metal hole, and can switch between screw/drill settings. And thank heaven it doesn't need a chuck key. It's very easy and satisfying to use. Oh, and I use it to plant bulbs, stir paint and drill 1" holes in railroad ties used to build raised gardens. It has definitely made my life easier. I would recommend it to anyone.

Makita TD020DSEW 7.2-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Impact Driver Kit

Review Makita TD020DSEW 7.2-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Impact Driver Kit

Buy Cheap Makita TD020DSEW 7.2-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Impact Driver Kit From Here Now!
The most powerful in-line screwdriver to date! Why? Well, two reasons: it sports the extended run time, high energy output Lithium-Ion batteries, and it's also an impact driver. It may seem unbelievable to have an impact driver so small, but it's true. An impact driver hammers the chuck laterally to give increased torque to drilling and driving operations, as opposed to just relying on the motor to spin the chuck. This powerhouse provides 12-volt power, with Lithium-Ion and impact energy, in only 7.2 volts. This sweet little tool offers twice the torque of other 7.2 volt in-line screw drivers and any other in its class. Most in-line screw drivers are only 3.6 volts. This new Makita tool offers twice the voltage, twice the power and twice the run time of standard models.Other great features include a comfortable rubber grip, an easy to reach thumb on/off switch and the easiest to use, all-metal, quick-change, hex, Insty bit chuck. The chuck only accepts drill bits and driver bits that have a hex shank at the opposite end of, for example, a no. 2 Phillips driver bit. This really speeds up bit changes. Hex Insty bits have really become the standard and are offered in every drill bit kit available. There is an accessory Makita chuck that converts the quick-change hex bit chuck into the older style 3-jaw chuck that will accept round shank drill bits, so you can use your existing bits.What I like most about this tool is it bends nearly 90 degrees for controlled driving. Driving in-line is great for fast, light-duty driving. For example, electricians use these tools for installing wall plates over outlets and switches. Driving at a right angle is used for driving longer screws and driving/drilling where more controlled accuracy is needed. This tool also has an LED light under the chuck that illuminates the work area, which is great for working in dark cabinets and under shelves.

"What's the point of this tool?" 2010-08-27
By Diederik J Thiers (Sag Harbor, NY United States)
Not much of an "impact drill" no good as a screw driver (no variable speed) not a very good drill (can't start at slow speed to avoid "walking").

So what's the point in buying this tool. I regret it

"Its useful with some good points but also its limited." 2010-08-19
By John H (UK)
I have now had this screwdriver for 2 years and found it a mixed bag, its good for removing screws and fast disassembly work such as removing screws from door hinges that have been painted over. A few moments of the impact action is strong enough to crack the paint but not so strong that it splits the screw head. As for putting new screws in, its not so good as the impact action kicks in very early. As well as being noisy this takes its toll by putting heavy wear on the screwdriver bit, it will drive the screw in ok but it takes a long time to do so. Also if a 50mm no2 pozi screw has been driven firmly into a brown plug on a solid red brick wall, such as often found when removing old kitchens units. It often won't shift them where my dewalt 7.2v screwdriver will. To summerize it earns its place in the tool box for removing painted over screws from door and window hinges, also its very light with its lithium batterys that holds their charge well and are always ready, but I find I use the dewalt a lot more.

"Needs Variable speed" 2010-08-08
By A. G. Jenks (Oregon Coast USA)
Without VARIABLE SPEED this tool is going to be nothing but frustrating.

Back to the drawing board. IT's a DEAL BREAKER!

Sorry,cause it is a MAKITA. I buy MAKITA almost exclusively.

"carpenter" 2010-10-01
By David Cordwell (lancaster nh)
this is the second makita bhp454 Ive bought and they both are in the junk pile very disappointed ,they say heavy duty however there not cut out for the serious everyday work.

"Well worth the price" 2010-09-20
By Kjetil (Norway)
I purchased this hammer driver drill in june '10 and used it this summer when renovating two apartments. I was sceptical to if a battery powered drill could produce enough power to drill in concrete and that sorts, but the BHP454 sure convinced me right from the start. It eats through concrete like butter, and the battery capacity is very good concidering the voltage and power drain from this type of job. The batteries charge in less than 30 minutes, and you'll probably not be able to drain a fresh battery before the next one is charged and ready, so you'll be able to work continously with this tool if you have two batteries. The torque adjustment functionality is also really nice, it enabled me to even assemble Ikea furniture without running the screws through the wood. This drill might be a little heavy for furniture assembly, but it's really no problem if you don't have smaller drills and still want to make the job quick; Just reduce the torque and you're ready to go.

I definately recommend this tool to anyone who does medium or larger projects and need a tool that delivers enough power with the convenience of being cordless.

"Super Drill!" 2010-08-08

"Can't beat Makita" 2010-09-16
By A.L.D
Makita LXT407 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 4-Piece Combo Kit Great tools but the light is not any good, cheap bulbs are to fragile and blow out to quick.

"You can't go wrong" 2010-05-19
By P. Davidson (Bronx, NY)
Ok, I just purchased Makita LXT407 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 4-Piece Combo Kit & am going to send in for the bare tool rebate where I'm choosing the circular saw. You Can't go wrong with that at all point blank. I've seen the same kit in home depot for close to $500 after taxes. I've used the flashlight, hammer drill & impact driver but not extensively. I have to say they all perform great. I know carpenters who use these drills on a daily basis & have nothing bad to say about the product & love them. For over 5 years I used 1 of the older models of Makita's cordless drills on a daily basis & that thing rocked, it never let me down. Aside from that I've used their corded tools too be it drills or any type of saw (circular, miter, Jig & reciprocating). I know they make reliable products. What helped me make my final decision was a mixture of the carpenters who use these new LXT Li-Ion drills everyday & my own personal experience. The tools feel great & the drills are light & powerful, especially that mini-me impact driver. As for the reciprocating saw its a cordless, so I don't expect to be doing extra heavy duty stuff with it due to battery life. Except it makes one think from what from what I've researched. I've read on people cutting down tree's with the same model I now own. So I may just be doing heavier work with it than I anticipated. After I have used these tools a lot more than I have, in the next few months I will leave a more in depth review.

I realize this product has been out for a few years now. So I can understand when It was brand new on the market the tools may have had some bugs. As do most products when they are 1st released. Its now 2010, that being said, I've seen some of the same negative reviews I read here on amazon, on other sites. I mean I seen the same exact 1's word for word. All & all the positive reviews outnumber the negative one's & from my own personal experience with Makita products I'm confident with what I have purchased.

"Solid Tools!!" 2010-03-25
By Jeff Bliven
Simply put... They work GREAT!!

Being that I've never owned any cordless tools before, except a cordless screw-driver.... I'm comparing them to my "corded tools".... and again, did I mention they WORK GREAT??

I really like them, particularly the "Sawzall"... which I've owned a Milwaukee for years. IT WAS GREAT, when I finished my tree-trimming job! No cord 30-feet up in the tree, just as heavy-duty... cut like butter. I even went to town on cutting up all the limbs before they went into the fire-pit.... it was, dare I say.... FUN!! (no honey... I didn't say fun... I said, I won!)

I used the drill & driver to do a boat-load with my KREG pocket hole jig.... did the whole table. with-out re-charging! I'm thinking about running the LIGHT on a full charge... just to see how long it will last.... but, it will probably be a while??

I was originally looking at buying the "COMPACT" version of these tools.... glad I didn't!! Not that they wouldn't be worth it... just that I feel like I got some AWESOME VALUE with these instead!!

I did a bunch of research on which set I wanted to get, so I made a VERY EDUCATED decision with this set... and I'm really happy with them so far (about 30 days)!! PLUS, I get an extra tool as a Rebate.... that was the clincher for me!!

Anyway.... Happy Drilling & Screwing... you'll totally love 'em!!

"no case no game" 2010-09-17
By el autor
the product its really nice, it works very good i recommended this item IF you own a drill case sturdy enough to protect your tools because this set comes with this cheap ugly nylon square bag that really does about 20% of protecting the tools. The bag it's a very bad idea and for me that i'm a general contractor and I used this tool in a daily basis, the way they packed these two beauty is odd and very bad design, it really steal away the original novel idea of how the drills works.

"Perfect for smaller hands" 2010-09-13

I am very pleased with these items. I installed 5 acres of electric fencing on my vinyl fence to keep cows in. The smaller drill made the job a lot easier for my smaller hands.

"Makita Power tools" 2010-07-30
By Jukebox Express (SAINT PAUL, MN, US)
For many years I had junk for cordless drills, so decided to buy something worth the money. The Makita Combo pac with the

18 volt lithium batteries are fabulous.

They work for a very long time before you have to recharge, and when you do, it doesn't take more than about 15 minutes.

If you aren't using both tools at once, you'll always have another battery ready.

Spend a little more, but you'll have something that will last for a very long time.

By PawPaw
I used these two drivers to install a new kitchen. They were small enough to fit in tight places to drill pilot holes and plenty of impact power to drive home screws to pull cabinets tightly together. I had to be careful not to drive the screws too deeply. They have good battery life and the charger charges the battery in about 20 min.

"Good, but not great" 2010-08-21
By A Tool Junkie (Mountain View , CA.)
If you've already bought into the Makita 18-volt LXT lithium-ion battery system, the BDA350Z makes a decent right-angle drill. There are a few problems to be aware of, however...

The first is that the drill will not work with the Makita BL1815 18-Volt 1.5 Ah Compact Lithium-Ion batteries. If you've purchased one of Makita's popular "compact" cordless combo kits, you'll need to acquire one of the larger 3.0 Ah batteries to power this tool. The downside of these larger batteries is that they increase the weight of the tool. If you have to use the tool overhead, you quickly start wondering whether you should attempt to file down the small plastic ridge that prevents the 1.5 Ah batteries from attaching to the tool...

The other problem I found with this tool is that it doesn't have a clutch and the trigger is a bit sensitive. It's easy to have the drill running at full-speed with high torque or low-speed with little torque, but if you need something in between it can be a bit tricky. The trigger on my Makita BDF452HW 18-Volt Drill seems much more linear; I can easily keep that drill moving at exactly the speed I want. Running the drill at full-speed when using larger diameter bits, hole saws, etc. may cause them to wear more quickly than desirable.

On the plus side, and it's a big plus, the head of this drill is incredibly compact! The Makita BDA350Z will squeeze into places that other right-angle drills can't touch. Whether you're underneath the car trying to drill holes for your latest aftermarket part or attempting to move electrical boxes around without damaging too much drywall, the BDA350Z will squeeze in and get the job done if anything can...

The Makita Angle Drill provides plenty of power to drill holes through 2" by x studs. I already had the batteries from another Makita product so just needed the tool.

"My 2 cents, I'm an Audio/Video Installer" 2010-04-18
By D. Knibb (NEW YORK, NEW YORK, US)
I'm an Audio/Video Installer which means I install all types of flat screen TVs, speakers, home theater systems, whole house audio, in residential and commercial properties. I have many MAKITA drills about 5. All for different purposes. Before buying this close quarter drill I considered the Milwaukee right angle drill. The Milwaukee is a great tool, just too large for my purposes. I needed something small, powerful and cordless. I climb in all kind of tight spots and sometimes a dangling cord can be a hazzard when working in a customer's home.

The Makita is solidly built, I like like the large trigger and it does the job. Makita should have supplied a rubber screw on handle it would minimize vibration. This thing does vibrate when drilling through a wooden stud. I also wish it had two speeds Slower speeds deliver more torque. If your driving screws or making small holes it works like a charm.

I bought the (tool only) because I have 3 (3amp Lithium ION batteries. Good tool. Sturdy and well built.

I'm pleased.

"Perfect Tool for the Job" 2010-03-17
By knight907 (Ballwin, MO USA)
I bought this drill mostly for drilling holes in studs to run wiring. It's been absolutely perfect. Very powerful, lightweight, fits into almost any space easily. The handle placement is a little awkward, but with the speed and power this drill can put out, you don't have to hold it for very long before you're done. One of the things I really love about the Makita LXT line is the slow-dimming LED. One tap on the trigger and the LED lights up and stays lit for a good 10 seconds, even without the tool running. This is a great feature I haven't seen on anyone else's tools. A light doesn't do you much good if it's only on when the tool is running. You need to be able to see where to PUT the tool before you fire it up, and Makita thought of that. I'm very pleased with this drill and I'm going to get a lot of use out of it.

"Makita compact drills" 2010-09-27
By deedee
Great product. I am a housewife of a contractor who never leaves any of his tools home for me to use. I purchased these for myself - for things I do at home. Putting together IKEA furniture, tightening drawer screws, hanging curtain rods, etc. They are a nice weight and great for overhead jobs. I need to hide them from my son (electrician) and my husband. They both have been caught kidnapping this tool.

"Outstanding!!" 2010-09-27
By Spanking Clean Auto Sound
I was in the market for a :mini" impact driver. I have a Milwaukee "mini" drill Driver which I love. I also have 2 guys who work for me who use the tiny tools. We do a tremendous amount of Remote Starters and using a ratchet under the dash is fine but a little slow. Once I found this Makita set it was a no brainer. We have had 9.6v-12v Makita tools over the past 12 years. But this little set definitely takes the cake. The size alone is priceless for working on you back under the dash of a car. Certainly not enough torque for the "rusted" old Ford or GM bolts but 99% of the time it is the perfect tool. A MUST have to add to any tool box.

I got home from Iraq, i was on the roof of our house removeing tin to fix a leak, my old drill died, i called to my Son and asked him where that new Makita was ? He brought it out, tossed it to

me. Right out of the tough box, it went to work, and we got the tin off and back on.

Thank you,

Torque, torque and more torque! This package is nothing but power. The 14.4-volt cordless impact driver and the MForce drill put super strength in your hands for the toughest tasks.

Despite being beastly powerful, this impact driver is shockingly compact and lightweight, with a total length of under 7 inches and weighing in at a mere 3-1/2 pounds including the battery. But don’t let that mislead you -- impacts per minute range from 0 to 3,200, with a maximum tightening torque of 1,240 in./lbs. And the power doesn’t quit, either, because the nickel-metal-hydride battery packs a greater capacity and longer run time than standard nickel-cadmium versions. Even though it fits snugly in the hand, it’s an absolute dynamo in the power department, and the variable speed is smooth as silk.

There are two nifty light-related features on this Makita, and we weren’t all that impressed with them on paper. But in reality, the phosphorescent rubber bumper immediately catches your eye, whether you’re rummaging in your truck, fumbling in your garage or scanning the job site for any left-behind tools. And the integrated high-output LED really does light up the workpiece, saving you time and frustration. We always like to see tools with easily accessible and easily replaced brushes, because if your tool’s in the repair shop, it’s not making you any money.

The MForce drill/driver is just as powerful and just as rugged as the impact driver, with the same high-efficiency nickel-metal-hydride battery power. Speed ranges from 0 to 400 and 0 to 1,300 rpm to tackle just about any drilling or driving job, with a Makita-made Shift Lock Drive that lets you switch quickly between modes, locking out the clutch for drilling work. And like the impact driver, the drill in this combo is compact, lightweight and easy on your hardworking body. The rubberized grip absorbs any vibration and feels great in your hand.

The fluorescent worklight will come in handy, too, whether you’re in a crawlspace or under an engine. All three pieces are Makita quality, and the price on this combo beats buying them separately. -- Kris Jensen-Van Heste

"I really like this!" 2010-05-25
By J. Herring (portland, or)
After having some bad luck with another brand of lithium ion drill, I decided I'd go old school and get a Nickel metal hydride battery drill. The blue model Makitas feel a lot more solid to me than the new 18v LIthium models. I found the three piece 14.4v combo kit with drill, impact driver, and fluorescent worklight for not much more money than the drill alone. That was a no brainer!

The drill is everything I hoped for. Plenty of power for anything I'll do with it. Drives three inch screws into old fir with no problem. Feels really solid, pretty light and fits my hand perfectly. Battery life seems great!

The impact driver is solid, and really compact. The worklight is fantastic. I'm using it for all kinds of jobs. Even the carrying case is nice. Well built and holds everything neatly and securely.

I really like this product, and am looking forward to years of good service!

"Don't drop the flashlight" 2010-03-21
By Damon Talbert (Gallatin, TN)
Don't drop the flashlight.... having worked in HVAC I had a chance to use everyone's drill till I got one. 15 years later I use nothing but Makita. When I totally wear one out I get another one. Have had this set for 4 years with no problems but the price of the batteries going up. If you drop the flashlight more than 40 times it may start giving you problems. Light last about 2 1/2 hours on a charge.

"Best Bargain" 2010-02-01
By Stagehand Jim (Colorado, USA)
Superior goods as Makita usually are, plus quick delivery from the Vendor. The light has proven to be much handier than I would have anticipated. - Stagehand Jim

"Outstanding kit" 2010-01-06
By M. Ross (Orange, CA USA)
I wish I could give this kit six stars. I have been using the drill and driver in this kit since 2005 and have considered them among my most reliable and useful tools. I'll review each component separately:

Case:

The case fits all components well. It has never sprung open, cracked, or broken, despite years of dropping, stepping on, tripping over, and general abuse. Mine had metal clasps- not sure if the new ones are the same or have gone to plastic.

Light:

The light throws off considerable illumination and has really come in handy. It lasts a long time on a full charge. Yes, it would be nice to have a directable beam, as with a flashlight, but after using this I actually prefer the fluorescent tube. It has a nice wire hanger that is very useful and I haven't managed to break the light cover, which is impressive. The only drawback to the fluorescent light is that it dies all at once instead of fading. I discovered that one day in a very dark attic. Bummer. Carry a spare battery if you have to crawl into some dark place.

Impact driver:

Just excellent. This is the tool to have when driving screws of any kind and is fantastic for decking projects and the like. It drives surprisingly well for it's size and battery rating.

Drill:

Outstanding. I have used this daily for years, dropping it from ladders, using as a hammer when I shouldn't have, used it with ridiculously large wood augurs, and overloaded it and abused it at every opportunity. (sorry, drill) It has NEVER let me down. My 18 volt-using friends have always been impressed and surprised at its capability and battery life. I have found it to be sturdy, quiet, powerful, and very well-made. In a word, impressive. The NiMh batteries have been excellent and long lasting. The drill is very well-balanced and has a good feel; the forward/reverse slide button is very easy to actuate while holding the drill. The dual speed is a good feature and you will be surprised at the torque on the low setting. I have enjoyed this drill so much that I found myself using it more often than not when I should have been using the impact driver. Though worn-looking on the outside, the drill still performs reliably, every day, almost like new.

Alas, after using the drill and driver for five years, the batteries are beginning to lose their charge. Not bad, though, after five years of continuous use and occasional abuse. This is a sweet drill and an excellent set if the manufacturing is comparable to that of five years ago when I bought this. (My drill was made in China, by the way. Usually this gives me pause, but everything in this set has been nothing but top-notch) I can recommend this product unequivocally.

"They should GIVE you the drill" 2010-09-14
By Richard P. Mcclellan (San Diego, CA)
It is a great tool, good torque, etc. But--the batteries are EXPENSIVE and don't last worth a d**n. In two and a half years, I have gone through FOUR dead batteries. The 2500 cycles, or whatever they quote is a pure fabrication. I doubt I have got 25 cycles on some of mine. Just had another battery die this AM.

If you DO buy one of these, keep the sales slip on the battery--if you are within the one year warranty, i understand they will replace them. If you use the tool at all--the batteries won't make it a year.

I like to have at least three batteries for my tools. At $75 ea--that is $225. I am seriously considering dumping the tool and going to some other brand.

"Bare Makita Drill" 2010-08-20
By bob (ENCINITAS, CA, US)
I bought this drill to replace the makita drill I wore out. My batteries and charger are still good so I thought I would just replace the drill.

This is the worst drill I have ever owned, there is no power to it. With a full charge on the battery when I put a drill bit in I can stop the drill with my hand.

If I am using a spade drill bit I cannot get through 1/2" plywood. This drill can't even set a screw if you predrill a hole.

My advise DON'T BUY IT!!

"Makita drill/driver" 2010-08-04
By Kim Johnson (Hobe Sound, Fl. USA)
i bought mine at Ace Hardware for $80.00 and i concur with the previous Ace buyer. Small and powerful for most typical house duties. The only difference is mine came with two batteries instead of one and has the accessory kit to boot. Cant beat that price with a stick....Ive always been happy with Makita drills and batteries. They last a long long time. Those stick batteries are the best in the industry, been around for decades and still out performing most others......The worst ive owned is by far DeWalt. Batteries arent worth a squat........

"Pocket Driver" 2010-07-16
By Dan C. (Morisonville, NY)
This driver is rated of the best. I use it as nut or bolt driver for smaller hardware below 1/4 inch. It is light in weight and has a perfect grip. The two battery system is great and the charge time is less than 1/2 hour per battery.

"Fantastic drill" 2010-07-07
By Scout--2
I own several apartment and purchased this drill several months ago to go in my tool bag. I also have an 18v set of lithium ion tools but use this one 80% of the time. This is a great drill with plenty of power and very convenient. My only regret is that I didn't get it a while ago. It is very sturdy and convenient.

"Be informed ..." 2010-07-02
By carl s
Just got the drill and 'discovered' what other's have noted - it does not work with my existing drills. Was mad at first (at myself for not noting this and at Makita for doing it), then thought better of it.

First, the listing does mention 'hex shank' - barely. I actually read the the specs, but I was looking at the 1/4" on spec on the right, not the term on the left. This is just HORRIBLE writing. Also, I had no idea what it meant and that I would have to buy new bits. So I give the product only 4 stars.

Once I got over the emotions, I decided that this was a great product. My wife could never insert a bit (hands too small and not enough arm strength), so she always had me do all drilling and screwing. But she can run a nail gun and skill saw with the best of them! So, now we have a drill that she can use whenever she wants. And the size/weight is better for her and will be easier on me, too. I am not a contractor, so I do not need an 18v battery or 3/8" chuck, nor do I have an investment in drill bits. My bits are over 20 years old and never been sharpened, so an extra $30 for new bits is no big deal.

All in all, the product seems great, but expectations were handled poorly.

"Decent cordless drill" 2010-09-22
By Bryce
Having two batteries with the drill and the fast charger means you don't have the problem of a lot of cordless drills that it runs out of juice halfway through the job and you need to wait for a recharge. Battery life isn't great, but the two batteries make up for that.

Only 110v, would be nice if it was dual voltage.

"Poor battery life" 2010-09-18
By Tool User (Sunny Ca.)
I have only used the drills 30-40 times and 1 of the batteries is completely dead

"This is a great tool - makes things easier" 2010-09-15
By jumperoo (Pittsburgh, PA)
I bought this after my previous drill (only 4 years old) broke while I was installing a new range hood. My prior drill was just an average homeowner version. I decided to buy a more expensive unit this time because I realized that, as an average homeowner, I use my drill most of all of my tools. Well, I am not disappointed. This arrived quickly, the batteries charged quickly, and I can't believe the power on these things. They are a vast improvement over my prior drill. I could not be more pleased.

"Batteries do not last" 2010-09-12
By T. Schreier (Bettendorf, Iowa)
I like how this works...when it works. It's lightweight and powerful. The big problem is that the batteries do not last. That makes this drill extremely expensive to run.

"Great hammer drill..." 2010-08-31
By FRANK MIFFLIN
I've been renovating my house using this 3 piece set and have been so pleased with it's power and convenience. Battery lasts long, battery charges quickly, and both drills are just so comfortable to use. Having a LED light go on every time you use it is just fantastic to. I would never go back to what I had before. The only problem is; the flashlight didn't work when I got it, and after 3 months of using this one of the batteries just don't work. I'm now working off of one battery that sometimes won't charge, I have to keep an eye on it and keep putting it back on the charger for a full charge. Again, great product, I just think I got a bad set. The only problem with returning this is that; it's not taking it back to a store, you have to ship it out to Makita (Amazon's 30 day warranty is up) and wait for it to be fixed (however long that will take). In the meantime I have no a incomplete set. I recommend the product to anyone, from a homeowner to a contractor! I'm giving it 3 stars because of the inconvenience of returning broken goods....other than that I would given it the highest rating!!!!!!!

"Great drill for the price" 2010-02-27
By seaisle79
This drill is a great tool for the average homeowner . It's quite powerful and will do just about any job around the house . The one I bought for my son worked so good that I bought one for myself .

"Its a drill" 2010-01-07
By D. Ward
I bought this mostly for the batteries as I already have multiple Makita drills/ batteries/ chargers. It works. Does what it is supposed to and fits my ham fists well. Better chuck than my old 6213D.

Seems like something is wrong when it costs almost the same for two batteries or buying this drill kit.

"Great size, with power close to the average / low end of the 14.4s" 2009-10-26
By M. Rees
I've had this drill for 2.5 years now. I am NOT a construction or tradesman - I'm a DIY homeowner who appreciates a quality tool.

I was originally considering the bigger brother of this tool, the 6337DWDE - I chose the 12V variety b/c the torque numbers were very close to each other.

The batteries on this drill have held up very well. I appreciate that the drill can sit in on the shelf of my workbench for weeks on end and still work when I pull the drill out of the case. One battery has never been used at all - it showed when I needed it on a job (poor runtime). I anticipate after a couple charge / discharge cycles that it will fall in line with my other one.

In the event that my second battery does not pull through (my fault - complete lack of use) - I may even buy another one of these sets instead of 2 batteries. This drill has been good to me.

"Another great Makita drill" 2009-10-26
By Erwanda (Northern California)
We read the reviews when looking for a replacement battery for our Makita drill- getting two batteries AND a new drill was a much better deal. This drill is more powerful than our original. We are pleased with the suggestion made here!

The Makita Makita BHP452HW 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-Inch Driver-Drill Kit with Hammer Mode drill that I bought thru Amazon seems to be a very good deal. It has the case, two batteries, and has a quality feel to it. Good drill for the money.

"Best lite weight cordless drill?" 2010-07-28
By M. J. Davis (Annapolis, MD)
I bought this drill after using a friend's and being impressed with its power, low weight and feel, and the speed the batteries charge. Consumer reports rated a Dewalt higher, but that drill is heavier and overkill for my use. I usually use one of my corded drills for heavier jobs.

"I love my Makita!" 2010-07-28
By Lon in Minn
I ordered my new Makita a few weeks ago to replace my over 30 year old Makita. since that time I have used it several times.....It performs every bit as well as stated. I saw some other comments to the effect it is not a hammer drill, I don't know what the respondents were looking for but mine IS and it functions very well in that capacity. The recharge time is VERY fast the balance and grip os comfortable and makes it easy to use. I wold order from Makita again in a heart beat. There is no doubt that I DO love my new Makita! Lon

"Best drill I've ever owned" 2010-09-07
By SAM (Midwest)
Purchased this drill for finishing a basement and so glad I did! Nothing but quality when it comes to this drill. Batteries last a long time and charge quickly. The drill itself feels perfect in the hand and well made. I love the key-less chuck, just so smooth and tight. Torque is outstanding and speed control is a breeze. I can't say enough good things about this drill. Only two drawbacks I've found; lack of a belt holder and in dark areas the light sometimes is blocked by the drill and doesn't light up the exact spot your drilling. You have to pull the drill back a few inches and point it at the spot your working on to see. Not a huge deal, but found this out working over a HVAC trunk. But then again it's not a flashlight...

This was my first Makita purchase, but won't be the last.

"Lightweight and durable" 2010-09-06
By Z. Tandy
So far so good with this drill. Used it on a couple projects and have no complaints. Highly recommend.

"Light yet powerful" 2010-09-02
By daniel robert macfarlane

Love this drill,... Would buy again, if not a larger kit with two or more drills, LOVE that it came with an additional battery, one thing i will say for lithium ion technology is that when this battery dies,... Its absolutely dead,... not like your old batterys that die slowly or seem to have a little "pep" after left alone for awhile, this just straight out stops once the battery has been used to the end of its charge capacity so it is really good that it comes with a second battery, i would not recommend buying any lithium ion technology unless you have a "back up" all in all though I am really happy with the overall performance its worth 5 stars.

"My best drill ever" 2010-08-29
By TexasJoe
I have had this drill for a few weeks now and really think it is great! Fits the hand so well and has plenty of power for all my jobs. Very impressive tool! I had a very old Sears 12V that I have dumped, and love this new drill.

"Fatal flaw." 2010-08-28
By Mark J. Irwin (Syracuse, NY)
I had the unfortunate experience of having to repair many Makita power tools for a Glens Falls, NY manufacturer. Previous to this I had heard wonderful things about Makita and I worked for Rockwell Int'l. Power Tool Division R&D producing Porter-Cable power tools. The company I repaired tools and machines for produce silk screen printing machines and power company substations. The Makita tools they used included drills, grinders and saws. Without exeception all of these tools had one fatal flaw. When the brushes wear out in other brand tools, the tools just stops running. You replace the brushes and the tool again works. With Makita tools the brush holders are shorter which allows the worn out brushes to be pulled into the commutator of the armature shaft thus ruining the armature. The cost of replacing the armature is almost equal to replacing the entire tool.

I have worked with power tools my whole life. I helped develope tooling to produce parts for them and I have assembled and disassembled many brands and Makita is the only brand I have seen this major engineering design flaw in. Generally speaking many people will never wear out the brushes in a power tool, but I personally would not take the chance on a tool with this issue.

Additionally, some makers of industrial quality power tools have increased the number of windings on the armature and the field coils to increase the torque output making the tool superior to others. Porter-Cable, Rockwell, and Dewalt are among these companies. In cordless power tools, 18 volts is OK, but 19.2 volts gives you alot more and 24 volts even more.

"Best tool of the bunch" 2004-10-29
By C. Gotro (Middle Tennessee)
Dont usually write reviews but my Makita 6343D is worthy of one. I've owned this drill for almost six years now and must say it has never failed me, never. Gone through alot of tools since i've had this drill but this is the old stand by. Have even used it on the job drilling concrete when a hammer drill was not avaliable. Have completely remodled my home and this drill has done all the drilling jobs, from drywall to pressure treated decking, drilling studs for electrical and sheeting for plumbing. By the way I am STILL using the original batteries and charger. The batteries will only hold a 2 1/2 - 3 hour charge now but i aint complaining. You'll not find a better cordless drill than Makita.

"Definitely a contractor's performance powerhouse!" 2003-10-14
By megabeilin (MD USA)
This is the best 18-volt cordless drill, period. As the Amazon review says, this is the cordless drill that contractors consider to be a performance powerhouse. It's built tough to last, and in my opinion, it's also got the best overall combination of weight, power and style. There's nothing this drill can't do as well or better than any other 18-volt cordless.

If you're agonizing over whether to get the 18-volt versus some smaller or lighter model, spend the extra bucks if you can and get this model. It won't disappoint. Better to have more power than less, and same goes with 1/2" versus 3/8". If you're concerned about the weight of 18-volt cordless drills, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the Makita 6343. Because it's perfectly balanced, the drill feels very comfortable in your hand. In my experience, the 6343's weight is simply not an issue.

The 6343 uses quick charge NiMH batteries, which is a very nice feature. NiMH batteries don't have a memory, so you can fully charge them without completely draining them first (though I did have to condition the batteries the first couple times of use). The Makita 6343 may not come with a built-in level like many of the cheaper 18-volt drills do, but that's just an unnecessary frill. The Makita 6343's power and overall quality more than make up for any lack of such frills.

One tidbit of advice: if you don't already have a Sears Craftsman Speed-Lok drill/driver bit set, get one. You can buy an 18-piece set for about $20 on sale. The Speed-Lok system is a real time-saver that works great with the Makita 6343.

I still like this drill. My previous rating emphasized too much that a bad repair place ruined one of my two Makita 18v drills. However, the drill itself is excellent. It is well made, and will take just about any drilling job thrown at it. After the disastrous repair (to install a new trigger switch), I took apart the drill and found metal gears and ball bearings, metal thrust bearings, and overall quality construction. I would highly recommend this drill as a quality product. It also has good ergonomics and lots of torque. I have experienced NO problems with the drill I bought new. The repair to the other drill was made necessary more due to an abusive first owner than to any problem of the drill itself. I just took it to the wrong shop for repairs. I do wish it had a single-sleeve chuck. The double-sleeve chuck works fine, but you can tighten a single-sleeve cuck with one hand - a bit more convenient.
