Makita LXT601 18V Lithium 6 Piece Cordless Tool Combination Kit Reviews
Pretty unimpressed with the battery life. Craftsman 19.2v tools I use are way way more powerful and and battery life is also much longer with the Craftsman line.at a lot less money. If I had it to do over again, I would not buy the Makita LXT Lithium. The charger is slow to charge as well.
You won't be disappointed. because really, who needs the radio for the extra money. It's everything you need in a set. In fact many of my workers have decided that they want a set too. I love them. Wonderful set.
I am the owner of a busy construction company and I use these tools daily now. . They have great power, durability, battery charges quickly.
these are MUCH MUCH better than my old nicad sets. I've even used the flash light.
It is my favorite part of the combo. I've found the trigger very responsive and easy to feather on the impact driver.
I've not used the reciprocating saw yet but everything else works great, Long battery life and great feel in the hand. the impact driver works much better than a drill for driving lag bolts and screws etc., it is true that the screw heads don't strip out as easy as they do with a drill.
over all so far great products I am glad i got the 3 ah batteries instead of the 1.5.
the battery life is impressive and they charge quickly.
The drill is good but doesn't have as good of torque as a DeWalt. the bag is just impractical, its way to big to be carrying anything around in. This drill is not the same as the one that comes with the 2pc., its smaller and less powerful. The reciprocating saw is good, but drains the battery in about 5 min. all the tools are very light and extremely durable.
The Batteries are amazing. I would just recommend getting the 2 or 3pc. I can run my impact for 2 days of heavy use per charge. of good use. my impact survived an 18 ft.
the light on the impact and drill are indispensable, they make my life so much easier. The flashlight is great, runs about 6 hours on a fully charged battery, is very durable. I absolutely love the impact in this set, I'm in the HVAC industry and work with a lot of metal so it is always in use. The grinder and circular saw are too under powered to do any real work. instead, and use corded saws and grinder.
fall to a concrete floor and only had a small scratch on the battery, nothing else. extremely light and have a fast, long lasting charge.
One LXT600 reviewer said the recipro saw is a pc of junk. However, I did extended research before my decision and much appreciate opinions from all reviewers. BJR182 is 1.875" shorter than BJR181 and w/o the LED front light;. 3. 4. I don't know but for me it did what Dewalt recipro saw capable to, only the weight is much lighter.
Every brands practice to make money/looks better by placing a flashlight in their combos. BTD141 has 50 in-lbs Torque more than BTD140 (I don't like the cheap silver plastic at the body, but not enough to make me deduct a star from this set);. BHP452 maybe less powerful than BHP451 (just by spec; I don't own BHP451 to compare);. Best price/quality/size/weight/completion comapre with other brands like Dewalt, Milwaukee, Ridgid (no cordless grinder), Bosch, etc. DC18RA 30 minutes rapid charger vs old DC18SC 45 minutes charger. 2. Ridgid has lifetime service guarantee (including battery) but I'm not sure the quality of both tools and service. IMO Dewalt quality is excellcent but the weight (me not a big guy) and price is too heavy; Milwaukee just too heavy and I don't like its hand-feel.
What can I said. 1. Look at the spec and here's the difference:. As another reviewer pointed out MP3 is a better choice. Prefect if Maikta replace the flashlight by a Jig Saw. I used to own Dewalt DC4PAKA combo kit but found the Ni-cad battery didn't last long so returned it and decided to go Lithium-ion.
5. A new version to replace LXT600 / LXT700 (both were retired). You can have it free through rebate if you bought this set on/before 5/31/08. Again I compare this set with Dewalt Ni-Cad 4 pc combo set, not any other cord/cordless tools.
Tools look and feel good in HD but offer no cordless grinder. Forget the LXT700, you don't want to pay $100 more for a on-site radio. I bought this set for about 2 weeks. BSS611 is 0.2 lb lighter than BSS610; (Dewalt circular saw blade (18 tooth) made finish smoother in this set).
You can still go to LXT600 to see all the users' reviews. So far every tools included are doing their job as what they suppose to. I rather Makita offered an extra battery (even it's cheaper), but there is no choice.
