Makita LXDT08 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Impact Driver Kit Review

Holy cow. This is one of the best tools I have ever purchased. I used it to drill on the order of a thousand holes through 3/4 inch marine-grade plywood and 2x con-heart redwood, on just 2-3 battery charges. I might be a bit over-enthusiastic because this is my first impact drill, but it is so much better than any drill, battery or corded, that I've ever used that it just makes me grin when I pull it out and use it.

For what it's worth, I ran a construction crew for a few years back in the late 70s and early 80s, so I've been around a drill or six. While pretty much every tool has gotten better since then, this is so far above the last battery powered drill I bought, it's just crazy. My contractor buddy told me this, and he was so over the top that I just didn't think he was serious, but the first time I saw him after I used it, I just looked at him and said "impact drill" and grinned like a fool, and he said "I told you so."

As far as this drill in particular, well it seems to be pretty good. I have no basis to compare it to other impact drills. It didn't break, it goes like crazy, the batteries charge in 15 minutes or so, it's relatively light, and comfortable to use. Ask me again in a couple of years and we'll see if the batteries are still good. It would be nice if the little LED light was a bit brighter, but that's a very minor nit.

Use hearing protection, boys and girls. Seriously. Every darn time. You'll thank me later. And you'd be crazy not to wear safety glasses, but the hearing protection is a long term thing.
