Makita LXT700 7 Pc 18V Lithium Cordless Tool Combination Kit Reviews
The list would include DeWalt, Milwaukee, Porter Cable, Hitachi, Ect Ect. I am very happy with the tools, and intend to ad some of the other pieces. I would recommend this to any one who is looking for a quality set of tools. They can work hard and seems to be holding up well allthough I have just been using them for 3 months.
I am a part time contractor/handyman. This group of tools have so impressed me that I no longer take the corded "heavy tools" along unless it is truly called for. I have used it since then to finish a whole basement(1200 sq ft), build a deck and to totally gut/remodel 3 bathrooms. I am convinced I came out ahead. The tools are compact and light, but not weak or flimsy.
I do believe that the Makita tools are superior. Those who know tools know that Hilti is very good. The people whom I work with mostly use DeWalt cordless tools. Because these tools feel so good working I have noticed that my friends are starting to grab mine whenever they can. I will correct that when I get the jig saw, wich would have been a much better addition to this set than the mediocre job site radio. This is where the DeWalt is much better as their radio also doubles as a charger. You do need more than 2 batteries though for hard use.
They seem less "clunky" than the others, but just as capable. This 7 Pc kit was a Chrismas 2007 gift from my wife (Lots of hints dropped). Through the years I have used a number of different brands of tools. On the deck build I could see how the impact driver stacked up against a Hilti driver. The flashlight works - but it seems less "solid" than the rest of the package. I detest "cheap" tools that make the job harder.
I was so happy when the set arrived, but a little intimidated. The settings are great and I would recommend this set to novices and experts alike. I am slowly working my way through the tools and becoming familiar with them. Now I feel like I can conquer the world (er, almost). how to put the drill bit in, etc).
The instruction manual is designed for someone who already knows about power tools, but it did help me in the basics (i.e. This is my first "grown up" power tool purchase. I've had tools given to me (and purchased minor hand tools) through out my life but never like this. They are very powerful but light-weight and simple to use.
Anyway.I finally used the hammer drill and I couldn't believe how easy it was.
There is a problem with the battery sticking on the grinder, but performance and value are great.very happy. I like everything about this Makita package.
This is unacceptable customer service and although we like the tool kit, it makes no sense if we cannot carry all of tools in the rolling duffle bag that is clearly featured on the side of the shipping carton. This tool kit was to come with a contractor's bag that is essentially a rolling duffle bag for all of the tools. Instead, Makita shipped it with a bag from a smaller kit that does not even hold all of the tools. Too bad if you don't like it - send it back. Two calls to Makita's customer service resulted in the following comment: This was a "promotional" item and we ran out of the rolling duffle type bag so we substituted the smaller bag instead.
i'm interested to see what i think in a year or two. luckily nothing was damaged, but not what you want your first view of your new tools to be (spilling out onto the porch). i've been using them on-site for about three weeks w/ no complaints. i am very happy w/ the tool set. the only problem was that when i got it delivered the package actually fell apart for the ups guy. you just may want to pay by check and mail in a roll of duct tape while you're at it. but right now, three thumbs up. other than that, they're great.
