Great buy. I love this tool. The radio is also great. i have used the impact driver much already & I wish I would have had this tool long ago. The battery lasted over 8 hours on one charge in the radio. The battery does charge in 15 minutes & lasts quite a long time. Shipped extremely fast, I think I received in 3 days. Sheet metal & wood screws are so much easier to use now.
When the battery goes, it goes all at once, which is good. Driver has mostly all of its full power until the end & with a 15 minute charge time, is great. great sound. I am 100% satisfied with this set & would recommend to anyone.
Even with the new V18 you have to be careful because the new M series tools and batteries DON'T fit the V series. I own the Milwaukee 18 v set, with every 18v tool they make. BUT while the tools are great Milwaukee batteries (MiCads) suck. WHY you ask would Milwaukee do this. I don't know but They sure don't seem to care about their existing customers, FOR THAT REASON I WOULD BUY THIS SET OVER MILWAUKEE.
I AM A MECHANIC AND I USE ALL THIS TOOLS EVERY DAY, EVEN THE RADIO. IS THE BEST POWER TOOL I HAD THROUGH ALL MY YEARS OF CAR REPAIRS. MY 1RST SET WAS THE 9.6 VOL THEN 14 VOLT AND NOW THIS 18 VOLT. BUY IT YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
i thought makita tools were contractor grade, after purchasing this set, and using them for a couple months, i started to have problems with the drill gears. also the run time was unacceptable. for a homeowner who will use these tools sparingly they are great. but if you're a contractor who makes his living with their tools, stay away from the white makita tools.
the tools are decent, the batteries charge quickly which is essential because each cycle life is pathetic.The radio i was excited about.until i used it. Crummy reception and the cheesey ac adapter had a cracked insulation wire which rendered it useless after 2 months of use. Now the radio doesnt work even with a battery.
