Editorial Reviews:

The Makita LCT400W is an 18-volt 4-piece combo kit. The kit includes the BDF452 18-volt lithium ion 1/2-inch compact drill/driver, the BTD142 lithium ion cordless impact driver, the BML185W work light, and BMR100W radio. The driver-drill and the impact driver both have a 15-minute rapid optimum charger with a built-in fan to cool the battery to produce more lifetime work. Makita lithium-ion provides longer run time, 5-times lower self-discharge (for use any time) and 16 firm holding contact terminals (for constant high power). The 15-minute rapid optimum charger and battery communicate throughout the charging process using the built-in chip in the battery and built-in CPU chip in the charger. The Charger also uses "Active 3 Control" for current control, thermal control & voltage control.

User Comments about the Makita LCT400W 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 4-Piece Combo Kit

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.

The fast recharge is the only saving grace, but that means I don't really have a spare battery to play the radio. With the larger battery, this will still be a light drill.One last thing, because the drill is so compact, there isn't really very much space for gripping the drill when using two hands to apply pressure to push the drill/driver onto it's bit. I plan to spend the extra money to buy the larger capacity, heavier lithium battery to address both my complaints. The battery capacity seem poor compared to my previous Panasonic 15 volt drill. There is good and bad on the light weight drills and that is because the battery is so light, it isn't a very stable base to keep the drill upright when the drill is set down. The second hand often hits the drill chuck while the primary hand uses the grip. It is easy to tip over and drop from where it is set down.
