Three years after its debut, Makita's LXT Series has grown from seven to over 35 tools, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen. Makita also added 18V compact lithium-ion for cordless power in a more compact size. Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries and ENERGY STAR rated Optimum Charging System provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries, Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have 40% less weight, longer run time, and five-times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use at any time. &lt;p&gt; Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion battery delivers 2,000 cycles--2.5X more than Ni-Cd. In addition, built-in shock absorbing features help protect the battery, and 16 firm-holding contact terminals deliver constant high power. During the charging process, a built-in memory chip in the battery communicates with the Optimum Charger for a more efficient charge, extending the battery life. Makita's Optimum Charger is also faster: it will charge an 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery in just 30 minutes, and an 18V compact lithium-ion battery in only 15 minutes. Makita also offers a Rapid Automotive Charger for 18V LXT and 18V compact lithium-ion batteries that plugs into 12V DC sockets equipped in most automobiles and trucks for added mobility. Makita's growing line of LXT cordless tool solutions features a wide range of industrial-quality power tools, including driver-drills, impact drivers, impact wrenches, saws, grinders, screwguns, rotary hammers, and more. The LXT Series also offers a jobsite radio, rechargeable flashlights, and several different combo kits.&lt;P&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q2_2009/makita-company-logo.jpg" border="0" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="5"&gt;&lt;b&gt;About Makita&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; Makita is a worldwide manufacturer of industrial quality power tools and offers a wide range of industrial accessories.

Three years after its debut, Makita's LXT Series has grown from seven to over 35 tools, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen. Makita also added 18V compact lithium-ion for cordless power in a more compact size. Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries and ENERGY STAR rated Optimum Charging System provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries, Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have 40% less weight, longer run time, and five-times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use at any time. &lt;p&gt; Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion battery delivers 2,000 cycles--2.5X more than Ni-Cd.

applications&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Compact, ergonomic design; only 9-3/8 inches long and weighs just 4.6 lbs&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Convenient features such as the Shift-Lock drive system to quickly shift between modes, 2 built-in L.E.D. light; and a rugged tool belt clip&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Makita LXT Lithium-Ion battery and Energy Star rated 30-Minute Rapid Optimum Charger produces 430% total lifetime work with 2.5X more cycles&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;3-year warranty on tool; 1-year warranty on battery and charger&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Makita BDF451 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-Inch Driver-Drill Kit Overview&lt;/h2&gt;We've come a long way from sweat and a screwdriver. A hundred years ago, builders would never have envisioned a tool as powerful and efficient as this one. Heck, even 20 years ago. Science has ushered battery technology along, and the LXT Lithium-Ion system that powers this impact driver has a ton of advantages over standard NiMH or NiCad batteries. The Lithium-Ion technology means 1,400 battery life cycles, longer run time, lighter weight, a great reduction in the self-discharge rate and built-in shock-absorbing features to protect your battery.&lt;p&gt; But perhaps the coolest innovation is what Makita calls its 45-minute Optimum Charger. It actually talks to the batteries it charges throughout the cycle, using a built-in memory chip in the battery and, believe it or not, a CPU chip in the charger itself, which analyzes the data stored in the battery chip to decide on the best charging method at that time.&lt;p&gt;  The drill/driver itself is fairly compact and lightweight, weighing in at less than 5 pounds, yet it's packing a powerful 560 in./lbs. of torque. It's got a super speed range of 0 to 300 rpm in low gear, 0 to 600 in mid-range and 0 to 1,700 rpm in top gear. Sometimes, you may encounter a little resistance if you're switching directly from low gear to high; if that happens, running the tool in mid-gear for a couple seconds completely alleviates any snag. &lt;p&gt; Makita's always made ergonomically positive tools that feel good in your hand and take the strain off your body, and this one's no exception. The slightly curved grip is so comfortable, and the auxiliary handle gives you supreme control. And because it's super compact and lightweight, this driver's an absolute pleasure to work with - even overhead. --&lt;i&gt;Kris Jensen-Van Heste&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What's in the Box&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; Drill/driver, two LXT Lithium-Ion 3.0Ah batteries, 45-minute optimum charger, screwdriver bits, Carrying case (824754-3)&lt;h2&gt;Makita BDF451 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-Inch Driver-Drill Kit Specifications&lt;/h2&gt;The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-Inch Driver-Drill delivers more torque, more efficient speed and more work to the jobsite. The BDF451 has a three-speed all-metal transmission for a range of drilling and driving applications, with plenty of torque for heavy duty tasks.&lt;P&gt;&lt;style type="text/css"&gt; .c26-caption  font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;  .c26-matrix1a  font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; background-color: #bcbec0;  .c26-matrix1b  font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; background-color: #a7a9ac;  .c26-matrix1h  font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; color: #ffffff; background-color: #008b97; text-align: center;  img.c26-border border:1px black solid; a.nodecoration text-decoration: none &lt;/style&gt;&lt;table width="200" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="left"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q2_2009/makita-lxt-video2.jpg" border="0"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;span class="c26-caption"&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q2_2009/makita-B000EDVTQC-1-sm.jpg" class="c26-border"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;View larger&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center" valign="top"&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" border="0"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q2_2009/makita-lxt-box1-sm.jpg" class="c26-border"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q2_2009/makita-lxt-box2-sm.jpg" class="c26-border"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q2_2009/makita-lxt-box3-sm.jpg" class="c26-border"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q2_2009/makita-lxt-box4-sm.jpg" class="c26-border"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table width="200" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="right"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center" valign="top"&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="250" align="center" style="border: 1px solid #5e5e5e"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1h"&gt;BDF451 Features&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1a"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;POWER&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; - Makita-built 4-pole motor delivers 450 in.lbs. of Max Torque, and handles concrete, wood and metal&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1a"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONTROL&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; - 2-speed all metal transmission, easy mode shift and built-in L.E.D. light&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1a"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;COMFORT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; - Only 3.6 lbs. with ergonomic grip&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1a"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;PERFORMANCE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; - 18V compact li-ion batteries charge in 15 minutes, run longer and have 2.5X more cycles&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1a"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;INCLUDES&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; - Two 18V compact lithium-ion batteries, rapid charger and case&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center" valign="top"&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="250" align="center" style="border: 1px solid #5e5e5e"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1h" colspan="2"&gt;Tool Specifications&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td colspan="2" class="c26-matrix1a" align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q2_2009/makita-B000EDVTQC-2.jpg" border="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1b"&gt;Capacities&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1b"&gt;Steel (1/2"), Wood (2-9/16")&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1a"&gt;No-load speed&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1a"&gt;0-300, 0-600, 0-1,700 RPM &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1b"&gt;Maximum torque&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1b"&gt;560 in.lbs.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1a"&gt;Battery&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1a"&gt;18V LXT Lithium-Ion&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1b"&gt;Overall length&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1b"&gt;9-3/8"&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1a"&gt;Net weight&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="c26-matrix1a"&gt;4.6 lbs.

Three years after its debut, Makita's LXT Series has grown from seven to over 35 tools, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen. Makita also added 18V Compact Lithium-Ion for cordless power in a more compact size. Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries and ENERGY STAR rated Optimum Charging System provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries, Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have 40% less weight, longer run time, and five-times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use at any time.&lt;p&gt;Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion battery delivers 2,000 cycles--2.5X more than Ni-Cd. In addition, built-in shock absorbing features help protect the battery, and sixteen firm-holding contact terminals deliver constant high power. During the charging process, a built-in memory chip in the battery communicates with the Optimum Charger for a more efficient charge, extending the battery life. Makita's Optimum Charger is also faster: it will charge an 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery in just 30 minutes, and an 18V Compact Lithium-Ion battery in only 15 minutes. Makita also offers a Rapid Automotive Charger for 18V LXT and 18V Compact Lithium-Ion batteries that plugs into 12V DC sockets equipped in most automobiles and trucks for added mobility.

Three years after its debut, Makita's LXT Series has grown from seven to over 35 tools, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen. Makita also added 18V Compact Lithium-Ion for cordless power in a more compact size. Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries and ENERGY STAR rated Optimum Charging System provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries, Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have 40% less weight, longer run time, and five-times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use at any time.&lt;p&gt;Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion battery delivers 2,000 cycles--2.5X more than Ni-Cd.

No other company provides this option.&lt;br&gt; View larger.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;b&gt;18-Volt Litheon Batteries for Maximum Runtime and Manageability&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;The 36618-02 utilizes state-of-art lithium-ion battery technology and Bosch's proprietary ECP (Electronic Cell Protection) system to provide maximum cycle life, minimum self-discharge, and no memory-effect. Best of all, Litheon batteries will fully charge in 30 minutes and will be at 85% capacity in just 15 minutes.&lt;p&gt;&lt;table align="left" width="350" cellpadding=10 cellspacing=10 border=0&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q3_2009/bosch-B000PI5EBW-3-sm.jpg" border=0&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q3_2009/bosch-18v-bat.jpg" border=0&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q3_2009/bosch-B001GIPG1I-4-sm.jpg" border=0&gt;&lt;font size=1&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Handle grip with finger support provides maximum control. View larger.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Up to one pound lighter than comparable 18-volt NiCad drills/drivers, the 36618-02 won't weigh you down. It's ideal for a wide range of drilling and fastening jobs, from hanging curtains to building a deck; from making automotive repairs to installing cabinetry. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Unique, Flexible Power System&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Like all tools in Bosch's 18-Volt line, this drill/driver can be used with either a 1.3-Ah BAT609 Slim Pack battery (two included) or a 2.6-Ah BAT318 Fat Pack. If you're looking for a lighter-weight option, the Slim Pack is the perfect choice. If longer runtime is what you need, the Fat Pack will do the job. Bosch is the only power tool manufacturer that provides this option. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fast Speeds, High Torque, and Durable Construction for Reliable Results&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;The 36618-02 works at speeds up to 1,600 RPM and provides 500 in./lbs. of torque. Durashield housing, unibody construction, and a steel-reinforced collar help you withstand real-world conditions, like temperature extremes, rain, dirt, debris, and drops. &lt;p&gt;The 36618-02's Durashield Housing is constructed with ABS/Nylon composite, which makes the housing flexible and impenetrable. Unlike competitive tools, which use a conventional plastic housing, Durashield will not crack and can easily withstand 10-foot drops.&lt;p&gt;This tool also features unique unibody construction with three steel straps that keep the motor, gears, and clutch together. This ensures that the gears never separate from the motor, and it keeps the drill functioning even after drops.&lt;p&gt;Additionally, the 36618-02 boasts an exclusive steel-reinforced collar that protects the nose of the drill. It provides extra reinforcement in the event of drops on the chuck and prevents the chuck from bending or breaking off.&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Easy Bit Changes and Balanced Design for Utmost Control&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;The 36618-02 comes complete with a single-sleeve 1/2-inch chuck for one-handed bit changes, as well as increased drill-bit capacity for versatility. And for maximum control, comfort, and balance, the tool boasts a newly designed handle-grip with finger support. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Smart Features for Easy Use&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;20 clutch settings and a variable-speed trigger help you match the best speed to the job, so you can achieve precise results. At the same time, the 36618-02's ergonomic design provides optimum comfort and control. And for even greater convenience, LEDs provide illumination when you are working in dark or enclosed areas. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ProVantage Guarantee&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;The 36618-02 comes with the ProVantage three-year protection plan, which guarantees two years of battery protection and one year of tool protection. Under this plan, you can receive two years of free battery replacements, tool replacement for one year, and a free tool repair package for the second and third years. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What's in the Box&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Drill/driver; two Litheon Slim Packs; 30-minute charger; double-ended bit; and carrying case. &lt;p&gt;&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0"

Three years after its debut, Makita's LXT Series has grown from seven to over 35 tools, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen. Makita also added 18V Compact Lithium-Ion for cordless power in a more compact size. Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries and ENERGY STAR rated Optimum Charging System provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries, Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have 40% less weight, longer run time, and five-times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use at any time.&lt;p&gt;Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion battery delivers 2,000 cycles--2.5X more than Ni-Cd. In addition, built-in shock absorbing features help protect the battery, and sixteen firm-holding contact terminals deliver constant high power. During the charging process, a built-in memory chip in the battery communicates with the Optimum Charger for a more efficient charge, extending the battery life. Makita's Optimum Charger is also faster: it will charge an 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery in just 30 minutes, and an 18V Compact Lithium-Ion battery in only 15 minutes. Makita also offers a Rapid Automotive Charger for 18V LXT and 18V Compact Lithium-Ion batteries that plugs into 12V DC sockets equipped in most automobiles and trucks for added mobility.

Three years after its debut, Makita's LXT Series has grown from seven to over 35 tools, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen. Makita also added 18V compact lithium-ion for cordless power in a more compact size. Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries and ENERGY STAR rated Optimum Charging System provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries, Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have 40% less weight, longer run time, and five-times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use at any time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion battery delivers 2,000 cycles--2.5X more than Ni-Cd. In addition, built-in shock absorbing features help protect the battery, and 16 firm-holding contact terminals deliver constant high power.

Three years after its debut, Makita's LXT series has grown from seven to over 35 tools, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen. Makita also added 18-volt compact lithium-ion for cordless power in a more compact size. Makita's 18-volt lithium-ion batteries and ENERGY-STAR rated Optimum Charging System provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18-volt NiCd batteries, Makita's 18-volt lithium-ion batteries have 40% less weight, longer run time, and five times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use at any time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Makita's 18-volt lithium-ion battery delivers 2,000 cycles--2.5 times more than NiCd. In addition, built-in shock absorbing features help protect the battery, and 16 firm-holding contact terminals deliver constant high power. During the charging process, a built-in memory chip in the battery communicates with the Optimum Charger for a more efficient charge, extending the battery life. Makita's Optimum Charger is also faster: it will charge an 18-volt LXT lithium-ion battery in just 30 minutes, and an 18-volt compact lithium-ion battery in only 15 minutes. Makita also offers a Rapid Automotive Charger for 18-volt LXT and 18-volt compact lithium-ion batteries that plugs into 12-volt DC sockets equipped in most automobiles and trucks for added mobility. Makita's growing line of LXT cordless tool solutions features a wide range of industrial-quality power tools, including driver-drills, impact drivers, impact wrenches, saws, grinders, screwguns, rotary hammers, and more. The LXT series also offers a jobsite radio, rechargeable flashlights, and several different combo kits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img align="left" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q2_2009/makita-company-logo.jpg" vspace="5" /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Makita&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Makita is a worldwide manufacturer of industrial-quality power tools and offers a wide range of industrial accessories.

Three years after its debut, Makita's LXT Series has grown from seven to over 35 tools, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen. Makita also added 18V compact lithium-ion for cordless power in a more compact size. Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries and ENERGY STAR rated Optimum Charging System provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries, Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have 40% less weight, longer run time, and five-times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use at any time. &lt;p&gt; Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion battery delivers 2,000 cycles--2.5X more than Ni-Cd. In addition, built-in shock absorbing features help protect the battery, and 16 firm-holding contact terminals deliver constant high power.

Three years after its debut, Makita's LXT Series has grown from seven to over 35 tools, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen. Makita also added 18V Compact Lithium-Ion for cordless power in a more compact size. Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries and ENERGY STAR rated Optimum Charging System provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries, Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have 40% less weight, longer run time, and five-times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use at any time.&lt;p&gt;Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion battery delivers 2,000 cycles--2.5X more than Ni-Cd. In addition, built-in shock absorbing features help protect the battery, and sixteen firm-holding contact terminals deliver constant high power. During the charging process, a built-in memory chip in the battery communicates with the Optimum Charger for a more efficient charge, extending the battery life. Makita's Optimum Charger is also faster: it will charge an 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery in just 30 minutes, and an 18V Compact Lithium-Ion battery in only 15 minutes. Makita also offers a Rapid Automotive Charger for 18V LXT and 18V Compact Lithium-Ion batteries that plugs into 12V DC sockets equipped in most automobiles and trucks for added mobility. Makita's growing line of LXT cordless tool solutions features a wide range of industrial-quality power tools, including driver-drills, impact drivers, impact wrenches, saws, grinders, screwguns, rotary hammers, and more. The LXT Series also offers a jobsite radio, rechargeable flashlights, and several different combo kits.&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q2_2009/makita-company-logo.jpg" border="0" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="5"&gt;&lt;b&gt;About Makita&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Makita is a worldwide manufacturer of industrial quality power tools and offers a wide range of industrial accessories.

Five years after its debut, Makita's LXT series has grown from 7 to over 35 tools, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen. Makita also added 18-volt compact lithium-ion for cordless power in a more compact size.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Makita's 18-volt lithium-ion batteries and ENERGY STAR rated Optimum Charging system provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18-volt NiCad batteries, Makita's 18-volt lithium-ion batteries have 40 percent less weight, longer run time, and five-times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use at any time. Makita's 18-volt lithium-ion battery delivers 2,000 cycles--two-and-a-half times more than a NiCad battery. In addition, built-in shock-absorbing features help protect the battery, and sixteen firm-holding contact terminals deliver constant high power.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the charging process, a built-in memory chip in the battery communicates with the Optimum Charger for a more efficient charge, extending the battery life. Makita's Optimum Charger is also fast: it will charge an 18-volt LXT lithium-ion battery in just 30 minutes and an 18-volt compact lithium-ion battery in only 15 minutes. Makita also offers a Rapid Automotive Charger for 18-volt LXT and 18-volt compact lithium-ion batteries that plugs into 12-volt DC sockets equipped in most automobiles and trucks for added mobility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img align="left" alt="Makita Logo" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q1_2011/c26-B0046RE72K-makita-logo.jpg" vspace="5" /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Makita&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Makita is a worldwide manufacturer of industrial-quality power tools and offers a wide range of industrial accessories.

First I can see from the numbers and percentages that many of these are being purchased. I had serious reservations mainly due to the cost, after all its a freakin screwdriver. I had a black and decker that lasted a long time and it came time to replace the battery and it was the same price as the driver so that was just stupid. I have other good cordless stuff like dewalt and makita. Dewalt does not have any ion drivers so that was out. The one driver dewalt has weighs like 80 pounds or so it looks. I purchased the single speed white ion Makita thinking that would do the trick, but no. The RPM are so high it was like a drill all the time, great build and torque though. This one while costing out the butt seems to fill the bill. It has half the torque of the white one but at least it can be controlled. The settings for torque are nice so you dont strip out delicate screws like in electronic stuff. The one thing I wish it had was the led light should stay on for a few seconds after being activated like the other makita tools. This one is just an on and off switch. Oh well what do you want for a hundren and eighty bucks huh. I still cant get over that fact. Oh well its done and it works and it will last a long time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Makita DF010DSE 7.2-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Driver-Drill Kit with Auto-Stop Clutch Feature&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Makita-built motor delivers 44 in.lbs. of Max Torque in a compact design&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Auto-Stop Clutch: Tool shuts off when clutch disengages for extra fastening control and prevents overdriving the fastener&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;21 clutch settings and drill mode for added fastening control (fastening torque range: 2.7 in.lbs. to 27.0 in.lbs.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2-speed gear selection design (200 RPM / 650 RPM) for high or low torque applications&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;3-year warranty on tool and 1-year warranty on battery and charger&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Makita DF010DSE 7.2-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Driver-Drill Kit with Auto-Stop Clutch Overview&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Includes 7.2V Cordless Lithium-Ion Screwdriver Kit - DF010DSE, #1 Double-Ended Phillips Bit, #2 Double-Ended Phillips Bit, (2) 7.2V 1.0 Ah Lithium-Ion Batteries - BL7010, Battery Charger - DC10WA, Tool Case - 824842-6&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Makita DF010DSE 7.2-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Driver-Drill Kit with Auto-Stop Clutch Specifications&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Makita's 7.2V Lithium-Ion Cordless Driver-Drill Kit with Auto-Stop Clutch delivers convenience and precision drilling and driving power to torque-specific assembly applications.

The two-speed gear selection offers 200 RPM and 650 RPM for low or high speed applications. The 21 clutch settings offer a range of fastening torque, from 2.7 in.lbs. in clutch setting no. 1 to 27 in.lbs. in setting no. 21. For added precision and control, the auto-stop clutch shuts off the tool when the clutch disengages and helps prevent over-driving on the fastener. For extra versatility, the tool will operate in straight or pistol grip positions.&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ergonomic Design in a Compact Size&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;The DF010DSE weighs just 1.2 pounds with a more compact design at only 11 inches long (in-line) and 8-7/8 inches long (pistol), with an ergonomic shape that fits like a glove for reduced operator fatigue. It is also equipped with a built-in L.E.D. work light operated by a separate switch on the opposite side of the rocker, and provides illumination for more accurate work. The DF010DSE also includes a low battery indicator: the L.E.D. light blinks when the battery needs to be recharged. The switch drive lock prevents active discharge in the case when not in use, and allows the tool to be a screwdriver in lock position.&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Versatile Design for a Range of Applications&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;The DF010DSE delivers versatile power combined with a compact design, dual position handle, and precision clutch settings for torque-specific assembly work. The DF010DSE is just another example of Makita's commitment to innovative technology and best-in-class engineering.&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;About Makita's Lithium-Ion Cordless Tool Series&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q2_2009/makita-li-logo.jpg" border="0" align="right" hspace="5" vspace="5"&gt;As one of the pioneers driving the cordless tool revolution, Makita changed the game with its breakthrough 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Series.

This kit changes all my perceptions about cordless tools. The drill/driver is powerful, and the impact driver, though small is a dynamo. I used both when building a tree house for my kids. Over the two weekends I worked, I never recharged the battery. Meanwhile I was driving 4-inch lags, 2- inch deck screws, tightening carriage bolts. The impact driver is a bit loud, but is so fast, the noise was secondary to concentrating on the depth I was driving lags. BTW: I tried the impact wrench on my car's lug nuts and it zipped them off and on. The only reason I don't give it a 5-star rating is because tools, while great performers, have a "light-weight" feel to them, like they might not hold up over time with heavy use, but that's just speculation. Since my tools will be largely relegated to my workshop, they will be pretty pampered, so not a major concern. I am very pleased with this kit so far.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Makita LXT202 18-Volt Hammer Drill &amp; Impact Driver Lithium-Ion Combo Kit Feature&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;LXT Lithium-Ion battery and optimum charging system produces 280 percent total lifetime work with 2 times more cycles&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hammer drill (BHP451) weighs just 4.9 pounds and has 4-pole maximum torque motor delivers 560 in. lbs. of efficient torque in a compact size&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Compact impact driver (BTD140) is weighs just 3.3 pounds and delivers 1,280 in./lbs. of torque with 0 to 3,200 IPM&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Kit includes hammer drill; impact driver; LXT Lithium-Ion 3.0Ah batteries (2); 45-minute optimum charger; carrying case&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;3-year warranty on tools, 1-year warranty on battery&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Makita LXT202 18-Volt Hammer Drill &amp; Impact Driver Lithium-Ion Combo Kit Overview&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18V, 2 Piece, LTX Combo Kit, Lithium-Ion Battery &amp; Optimum Charging System Produces 280% Total Lifetime Work With 2 Times More Cycles, BHP451, 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill Has A New 4-Pole Motor For 560 INLBS Of Torque &amp; Weighs Only 4.9 LBS, BTD140, Impact Driver Is 40% More Compact, 1,280 IN LBS Of Torque With 0-3,200 IPM &amp; Is 3.3 LBS, Includes: 2 Each, Batteries, Charger &amp; Tool Case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Makita LXT202 18-Volt Hammer Drill &amp; Impact Driver Lithium-Ion Combo Kit Specifications&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just the essentials. A cordless hammer drill for masonry and stucco drilling and an impact driver for the power to drive long screws and heavy-duty fasteners with ease. Every professional needs one cordless for drilling and one for driving. &lt;p&gt;Lithium-ion tools have more power with less weight. They have more power than a regular 18-volt tool because each battery cell within the battery pack has more juice than a standard battery and can deliver more power to the tool. These tools are also as light as a 12-volt tool because lithium is lighter than the nickel and cadmium in standard battery packs. 18- volt lithium-ion tools have the best power-to-weight ratio of any cordless tool. These tools come with the slide-in battery system and have more contact area than other tools. This means that more battery power will be transferred at a faster rate. I’ve seen other cordless tools with 2 small contacts and even worse, with loose connections. A tool with loose connections will not perform as advertised and may even cause premature death of the battery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hammer Drill&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This hammer drill has more torque than any other 18 volt on the market today, and at 4.9 pounds it’s also lighter than most. Makita redesigned their cordless tools when they released their LXT 18-volt lithium-ion technology. The Makita 4-pole, high-torque motor also delivers more efficient power than the competition, and does so in a more compact size. Most cordless drills only have a 2-pole motor. This cordless sensation comes with Makita’s standard externally accessible brushes, so you can change the brushes at home or on site, rather than delivering it or mailing it out for repairs and waiting a week or two. This LXT has an all-metal, 3-speed transmission, producing 25 percent faster working speed. It drills fast through stucco, new concrete, commercial-grade (high psi) concrete, and even in aged concrete. This drill has the best belt clip on the market today. The clip doesn’t rotate like it does on other brands, making it hard to remove. The drill stays in place in pants pockets, belts and tool belts with this heavy-duty steel belt clip. It can easily be relocated to the opposite side of the drill for lefties. This hammer drill has the best ergonomics of any 18 volt that I’ve tested, used or owned. Located just above the trigger, are two "headlights." Headlights refer to small LED lights that provide light where you need it most. I was skeptical about this feature, thinking it was just another gimmick, but after using it for some time, I’ve come to depend on it. From lighting my way to the house in the dark, when bringing the batteries/tools on cold nights to providing light in a dark cabinet, closet, or under a desk, this a must-have feature. Rubber grips adorn the exterior of this tool and protect it during impact if it falls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Impact Driver&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you use an impact driver and discover how light and powerful they are, you’ll always reach for one first. They tear through the toughest jobs and still have plenty of power. They are compact too, and get into tight spaces. 18 volts offer the best performance, while remaining a useable weight. This impact driver has the best power-to-weight ratio of any tool.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is an impact driver, not a screw gun/drill-driver. An impact driver provides, on average, four times the amount of torque because it "hammers" the chuck laterally as it turns. Makita uses their patented "hammer and anvil" technology to achieve this, which is one the best systems ever developed. A standard screw gun/drill-driver relies solely on the motor to turn the chuck, providing a 1:1 ratio of motor to output torque. Impact drivers do make more noise than regular drills, which becomes increasingly louder when driving larger fasteners like lag bolts and nuts for j-bolts, but it’s not so loud that you have to wear hearing protection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A variable speed trigger gives the user more control when driving smaller screws. Most impact drivers are only single speed, which means that all that torque they have will easily break small screws in half . Use slow speed for small screws and fast speed for large fasteners. This impact driver comes with the same great belt clip and headlights as the hammer drill. Another great feature on this tool is the 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. Rubber grips adorn the exterior of this tool and protect it during impact if it falls. Mine blew off the roof once and suffered no damage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Charger and Batteries&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This Makita tool has the most advanced charging system available. Generically, it’s called a "smart charging system." A computer chip inside the battery lets the charger know exactly how to optimally charge the battery, to completely charge each cell within the battery and for maximum battery life. Each battery is made up of smaller 1.2-volt cells. Often a battery will drain unevenly during normal use, at different rates within these internal cells. A normal charger will stop charging the battery when one cell reaches maximum capacity, not all of them. Once this happens once, it will continue to do so as long as you use the battery. What this means is your 18-volt battery is now a 16- or 17-volt battery and it can drop even lower. A "smart charger" will charge every cell independently until each cell is fully charged, so your 18-volt battery will remain 18 volts for its entire life. This charger has a fan in it and blows air through the battery to cool it down before charging so the battery can be charged right away, unlike other brands, where the charger waits until the battery cools, or even worse attempts to charge a hot battery pack and damages it or decreases the life of the battery. These Makita lithium-ion batteries will last 280 percent longer than standard batteries and can be charged over 1400 times, as opposed to the standard of 600 to 800 times, which alone can justify the higher price tag. These slide-in batteries are 3.0 amp-hr batteries and they will provide power to the tool longer than standard 2.0 amp-hr batteries. The higher the amp-hr rating, the longer the battery will last before it needs to be recharged. For light-duty applications, these batteries will last all day or even several days before recharging. I leave my charger at home when doing small jobs, because I know I don’t need it. The charge stays in the battery without dissipating during non-use and there is so much power in these batteries, I know I’ll have enough juice to complete a job. For heavy-duty applications, bring the charger with you just in case. -- &lt;em&gt;Gabriel Shantara Ford&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What's in the Box&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hammer drill; impact driver; LXT Lithium-Ion 3.0Ah batteries (2); 45-minute optimum charger; carrying case&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Available at Amazon &lt;a href='http://www.amazon.com/Makita-LXT202-18-Volt-Hammer-Lithium-Ion/dp/B000I6PJG6?tag=benefcosme-20'&gt;Check Price Now!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Related Products&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EEX7SO?tag=benefcosme-20'&gt;Makita BML185 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Flashlight&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EDVTQM?tag=benefcosme-20'&gt;Makita BL1830 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Battery&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UZQK8Q?tag=benefcosme-20'&gt;Makita DC18RA Rapid Battery Charger for Li-Ion Batteries&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000V2H7B2?tag=benefcosme-20'&gt;Makita BMR100W 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless FM/AM Job Site Radio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000K6ILGO?tag=benefcosme-20'&gt;Makita BML184 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Fluorescent/Incandescent Flashlight&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Links :  &lt;a href="http://www.buynowlcdhdtv.com/KDL-46W5100" rel="dofollow" title=""&gt;Best BRAVIA KDL-46W5100&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.toysforgift.net/Zhu-Zhu-Pets-Hamster-Num-Nums" rel="dofollow" title=""&gt;Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster Num Nums&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5045478586886732551-6787047086121807213?l=makita-drill.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://makita-drill.blogspot.com/feeds/6787047086121807213/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://makita-drill.blogspot.com/2010/06/cheap-makita-lxt202-18-volt-hammer.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5045478586886732551/posts/default/6787047086121807213'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5045478586886732551/posts/default/6787047086121807213'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://makita-drill.blogspot.com/2010/06/cheap-makita-lxt202-18-volt-hammer.html' title='Cheap Makita LXT202 18-Volt Hammer Drill &amp;amp; Impact Driver Lithium-Ion Combo Kit'/><author><name>OtherMan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03286340367490525344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045478586886732551.post-2029133210646460360</id><published>2010-06-28T20:48:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-28T20:48:06.667-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SC190DWDE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cordless'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Makita'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='18-Volt'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cutter'/><title type='text'>Cheap Makita SC190DWDE 18-Volt Ni-Mh Cordless Rebar Cutter</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align='center'&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.amazon.com/Makita-SC190DWDE-18-Volt-Cordless-Cutter/dp/B000056NOY?tag=benefcosme-20'&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/416WNYNEHZL.jpg" border='0'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Makita SC190DWDE 18-Volt Ni-Mh Cordless Rebar Cutter Feature&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Powered by 18V (2.6Ah) Nickel-Metal Hydride battery&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fast and effortless cutting speed in only 6 seconds&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Head rotates 360° for different cutting positions&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ergonomic pistol grip handle for operator comfort and control&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Specifically designed to cut rebar and various steel rod&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Makita SC190DWDE 18-Volt Ni-Mh Cordless Rebar Cutter Overview&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This powerful cordless tool is specifically designed to easily cut through 1/8in.-3/4in. diameter rebar and a variety of steel rods in only 6 seconds.

Three years after its debut, Makita's LXT Series has grown from seven to over 35 tools, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen. Makita also added 18V compact lithium-ion for cordless power in a more compact size. Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries and ENERGY STAR rated Optimum Charging System provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries, Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have 40% less weight, longer run time, and five-times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use at any time. &lt;p&gt; Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion battery delivers 2,000 cycles--2.5X more than Ni-Cd. In addition, built-in shock absorbing features help protect the battery, and 16 firm-holding contact terminals deliver constant high power. During the charging process, a built-in memory chip in the battery communicates with the Optimum Charger for a more efficient charge, extending the battery life. Makita's Optimum Charger is also faster: it will charge an 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery in just 30 minutes, and an 18V compact lithium-ion battery in only 15 minutes. Makita also offers a Rapid Automotive Charger for 18V LXT and 18V compact lithium-ion batteries that plugs into 12V DC sockets equipped in most automobiles and trucks for added mobility. Makita's growing line of LXT cordless tool solutions features a wide range of industrial-quality power tools, including driver-drills, impact drivers, impact wrenches, saws, grinders, screwguns, rotary hammers, and more. The LXT Series also offers a jobsite radio, rechargeable flashlights, and several different combo kits.&lt;P&gt;&lt;img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/th/content_26/Q2_2009/makita-company-logo.jpg" border="0" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="5"&gt;&lt;b&gt;About Makita&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt; Makita is a worldwide manufacturer of industrial quality power tools and offers a wide range of industrial accessories.

I have not really asked it to do heavy-duty remodeling or contractor-level work, but in comparison to a Craftsman, it is holding up *much* better.  Bearing and gear noise are about the same as when new.  (whereas the Craftsman is obviously galling its bearings).  When driving many screws (10s, but not 100s) the exhaust air gets noticeably hot, enough so that I explicitly let it cool off.  That said, though, it's been good enough that I got a pair for my father for Christmas, and he uses tools _hard_.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Makita 6408 4.9-Amp 3/8-Inch Drill Feature&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Powerful 4.9-amp motor&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Keyless chuck for fast and easy bit installation and removal&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Large trigger switch for easy operation&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Variable speed (0- to 2,500-rpm) for drilling in a wide variety of materials&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Low decibel rating (79dB) for quieter operation&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Makita 6408 4.9-Amp 3/8-Inch Drill Overview&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This unit features a powerful 4.9 amp motor with keyless chuck for convenient bit installation and removal. It has a large trigger switch for easy operation. Drill a variety of materials at variable speeds (0 - 2,500 rpm). This drill is easy on the ears with a low decibel rating (79dB) for quieter operation. Its in-line handle design means maximum power thrust. It has a large recessed lock-on button and the reversing switch is conveniently located. Makitas all ball bearing construction means longer tool life.

border='0'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have had this combo drill for around a year now and never had a problem.  I use it mostly in impact driver mode for wood screws.  &lt;br /&gt;The amazing thing about using an impact driver for screws, as many people are finding out, is the ability to back out your screws without damage!  I use soft, expensive stainless steel screws and occasionally have the need to unscrew one.  Using a hand screw driver or conventional driver will inevitably result in stripping the screw head, then you will need to resort to pliers or vise grips.  This takes time and completely destroys your screw as well as often causes damage to the surface of the workpiece.&lt;br /&gt;Enter the impact driver, When the driver detects resistance it automatically enters hammer mode and puts forward force on the screw, only turning as quickly as it can without damage.  This gives the impact driver the unique ability to back out even soft screws without damage.  The screws are completely reusable!&lt;br /&gt;This amazing machine also has the ability to function as a two speed drill and conventional driver, although the clutch is a little slippy, even on the strongest setting it often does not set a screw properly.  I end up using it in impact driver mode for all my screws.  You do have to be careful though, this thing will drive a screw right through your workpiece!&lt;br /&gt;If you are looking for an impact drill for drilling through concrete, you may want to get something larger and less complex this is a 1/4" drill.  A 1/2" or larger drill would be better suited for that purpose, and it would be a shame to ruin this beautiful piece of equipment.&lt;br /&gt;Also this being a 1/4" impact driver it would likely be underpowered in the case of, say automobile lug nuts, in which case you may want to go with something larger. &lt;br /&gt;I believe for my general construction and around the home use this is perfect, no need to lug around two tho three separate tools!&lt;br /&gt;Hard to find, but a best buy in my opinion, the battery life is excellent and the batteries charge in less than 20 min!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Bare-Tool Makita BTP140Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Hybrid 4-Function Impact-Hammer-Driver-Drill (Tool Only, No Battery) Feature&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;18-volt cordless hybrid 4-function impact-hammer-driver-drill (Tool Only)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Built-in LED lights illuminate working area&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;4-pole-max torque motor delivers 1,240 in pounds of torque&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Measures 7-3/8 inches long; a 3-year limited warranty&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Bare-Tool Makita BTP140Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Hybrid 4-Function Impact-Hammer-Driver-Drill (Tool Only, No Battery) Overview&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Makita BTP140Z is a 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Hybrid 4-Function Impact-Hammer-Driver-Drill (Tool Only).
