Sheet metal & wood screws are so much easier to use now. When the battery goes, it goes all at once, which is good. great sound. Great buy. i have used the impact driver much already & I wish I would have had this tool long ago. The battery does charge in 15 minutes & lasts quite a long time. The radio is also great. The battery lasted over 8 hours on one charge in the radio.
Shipped extremely fast, I think I received in 3 days. Driver has mostly all of its full power until the end & with a 15 minute charge time, is great. I am 100% satisfied with this set & would recommend to anyone. I love this tool.
WHY you ask would Milwaukee do this. I own the Milwaukee 18 v set, with every 18v tool they make. BUT while the tools are great Milwaukee batteries (MiCads) suck. 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. 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 AM A MECHANIC AND I USE ALL THIS TOOLS EVERY DAY, EVEN THE RADIO. BUY IT YOU WON'T REGRET IT. 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.
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. but if you're a contractor who makes his living with their tools, stay away from the white makita tools. also the run time was unacceptable. for a homeowner who will use these tools sparingly they are great.
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. Now the radio doesnt work even with a battery. Crummy reception and the cheesey ac adapter had a cracked insulation wire which rendered it useless after 2 months of use.
