Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This review refers to the new model of this tool. This is a reconditioned power tool. Reconditioned generally means that the tool has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the tool back to like-new condition. Some tools may contain cosmetic blemishes. Reconditioned tools come with the same warranty as their new counterparts.

Boasting 18 volts of power, Makita's combo pack delivers the turning torque and high blade speed to get even the toughest jobs done. This package combines a powerful drill/driver with the 6-1/2-inch circular saw that garnered both the Popular Mechanics One of the Ten Best Tools of 1999 and the Hanley-Wood Tools of the Trade Editor's Choice awards. The drill exerts up to 404 inch-pounds of torque at up to 450/1,400 rpm, depending on which of the 18 torque settings and two speed gears you select. The drill's distinctive tip-up design makes for easy use all day either overhead or at shoulder height, a big advantage when you're dealing with heavier, 18-volt tools. For a cordless, the saw is remarkably powerful. Spinning its large 6-1/2-inch blade, it slices through two-by materials with ease, even when beveling at 45 degrees. When we tested it, we were immediately impressed with how effectively the electric brake stops the blade rotation--a safety feature we demand in a saw designed to take up ladders and other potentially precarious places. And--like practically everyone else in the world--we really appreciate the attention to detail and quality in Makita's legendary motor, with its tough ball-bearing construction. Simply put, these are tools designed for extended use under the toughest job site conditions. The motor's brushes are accessible via an outside panel, too, and easily replaced--a handy feature you won't find with other brands. --Justin Paul
