Great addition. I purchased a multi tool kit and got this as an add on. Totally worth every cent. Very light, short profile allows it to go places even other impact drivers can not. Love the 15 second delay on Makita tools, have used it as a flashlight many times already. Good power, have broken screws with it already. If you have the 18v 3.0ah set, but not this. Get it, you will not be disappointed.

I bought the whole combo (impact driver, drill, saw, light and sawzall ) when the new lithium ion line was introduced. All the tools are well-made and perform smoothly.

The impact driver is a stand-out! Light, well-balanced, and very powerful. It never cams out. I drive 3" deck screws, and they go in smoothly in pressure treated lumber. Contractors who borrow it say it's the best they've ever used. It goes a long time between charges. I had the 12 volt Makita impact driver, a great tool, and this is even better. Clearly best in class!

tighten lag bolts connecting two pieces of engineered LVL beams 1.5". These beams weighed over 170lbs apiece and are really solid. However, this outrageous tool drove the bolt AND washer INTO the wood and countersunk them. It was so strong I think that it could have pushed the bolt THROUGH the wood/washer. This was a big washer too probably 1". Then I did the same thing with carriage bolts w/ one washer, so it was no fluke. Yet still, SOMEHOW it was a breeze to use and not hard on your wrist at all, as is a spade bit and a strong drill if you're not ready. I also used it a bit for automotive, but I want the other impact 1/2" drive and to keep it separate. I like the light, and the clip.

This is THE one to have! I use this all day everyday! I have tried them all. Makita makes all their hand tools with the pro in mind.This particular impact is not only the strongest but it is also very light and compact. The built in light comes in handy too! The lithium batteries recharge in no time at all! The hex insert can accomodate drill bits,sockets and driver tips and can be stored in the cool new see-through lid! Little bit pricey but worth every penny.

I have had the reconditioned 18v Li Makita impact for a month now and it's doing great. Came clean, great shape, two new batteries, clean case. I love the case which has the compartments for driver bits. I love the action of this tool. Great performance, and no sign at all that it has been reconditioned. Feels like new. I hope everyone's luck is as good as mine, and that my luck continues. Knock on wood.
