I love this set. No problems yet(1 yr). I do alot of early onsite(before powers in) work. Quick charge. set up. Long life batteries(way longer than my bosch set).All the tools are real, & solid. Plenty of power, lighter than my bosch 14.4v set. I added the 6 1/4 skill saw & love that too.
Lith-ion batteries are light & powerful(easily drives 10" GRK fasteners)This has worked great for me. I'm a builder & use it daily. Drain pipe, underslab plumbing, footing pads.and alot of punchlist, going somewhere to do a few little things w/ min. This works great for that too.This has been the best cordless set I've ever owned.
good combo kit everything works well i us it every day on the job.i never had a problem with it yet.
on a few occasions and it has not broken yet. As a kit, it's a solid performer. Since it's flat, I simply slip them over the edge of my pocket and they never fall off.best belt clip design I've used. I don't know if the problem is with the battery or the saws themselves. I've dropped it from as high as 6 ft. I've had to use them in my attic a few times and the LED lights have proven invaluable. The LED was a really nice addition to these tools.
Both have exceptional torque and battery life is good. The belt clip is another of my favorite features. I bought the kit from Home Depot when it first came out 3 years ago. The circular saw seems to drain the battery too fast and the recipro. cuts nails fine but struggles with wood cuts. I still use them but only for very small jobs.The flashlight works great and seems to be fairly tough. I didn't like the heavier weight of the DeWalt batteries so I went with Makita. At the time I purchased this kit I also looked at the DeWalt tools.which were less expensive.
If I were to rate the individual products, I would have to say impact driver and the drill are exceptional.wouldn't trade them for any other. It's replaced my other flashlights for general use. My kit also came with the circular saw. Both the circular saw and the reciprocating saw could use a little more power. It's bright enough to be used as a spotlight in my boat. I'm still pleased with my purchase.
Outstanding set of tools. I have not used the saw, yet. The drill and impact driver have plenty of power and torque. The batteries charge quick. Looking forward to big project for the real test. Can not beat the price.
The white LED is a nice touch to help illuminate the work area, but could use improvement. I have owned this kit nor for about 6 months and used them in every home improvement project to date. I love this combo kit. The drill chuck casts a shadow directly on the target area, so it seems the placement of the LED could have been positioned in a better place to reduce this minor annoyance. The 18V LXT battery life is excellent and tools are rugged and durable. I have found that the Reciprocating Saw does drain the battery faster than any of the other tools, but that is to be expected. To supplement the tools in this kit, I also purchased the Makita 18V LXT Fluorescent/Incandescent Flashlight (BML184), 18V Makita Cordless LXT Lithium-Ion 6-1/2" Circular Saw (BSS610Z), and Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Jig Saw (BJV180Z). Overall, I'm very happy with the Makita LXT series tools and would recommend it for home or professional use.
