This review is from: Makita 6932FDWDEX 14.4-Volt Impact Driver Kit with L.E.D. Light with Free 6337D Driver-Drill (Tools & Home Improvement)

The first thing I noticed about the driver when I snapped the battery in was how much lighter it was than my friend's Dewalt.

Of course, that made me nervous as light = cheap. My paranoia was increased when I pulled the trigger and found that not only was it quieter than the Dewalt, but the reactionary force from the spinning motor felt much diminished as well.

For some reason, all of these things gave me a foreboding until I started working with it. The impacting action was the same and the screws flew into the deck I was building almost as fast as the Dewalt. I slowly began to realize that the lighter weight made the work much more tolerable, even though I never considered the Dewalt as "heavy."

Both the drill and the driver also have handy do-dads that probably should have been included in cordless drills since their invention, such as the drill-bit holders on the base of the drill, and the LED on the driver. I thought the light was a bit superfluous, but there I was tacking-in posts for a front porch and was glad it was there to light up the dark corners.

As I said before, the Dewalt is a little faster, but it's also heavier, the batteries don't last nearly as long, the handle isn't nearly as comfortable to hold while operating, and it doesn't have the LED, which will of course seem preposterous until you need it.

five stars, all the way.

I use this driver every month to fabricate wood handicap ramps, 3" deck screws into treated lumber. No need to push it hard, just enough to keep the bit engaged. Far fewer stripped screw heads than with regular drills, corded or cordless. The battery has plenty of charge; I have not had to wait for the second battery to finish charging before swapping it in.

This is a very strong driver - there is NOT a clutch as you find on drill drivers. In soft wood, the screw head just keeps sinking further into the wood. In hard wood, the screw head will twist off if driven too far. It IS somewhat noisy when the impact feature engages, so you may want to consider ear plugs for continuous use.

I had seen the Makita in a store, and liked the features, but had not used one. Having the impact tool seemed like over kill but I thought I would try it, and it was my birthday. Turns out that the impact tool is very easy to use, great low speed control, and works well even with small screws. The body is small, and gets into tight corners easily. The drill is great too, the chuck is hand tightened, and has internal ratcheting that can easily hold any drill bit without slipping. The shift from drilling to driving without losing the clutch setting is very nice. The tool case was not made to hold the Impact driver, so I had to modify the plastic with a knife, and move the foam padding to stop the tools from bouncing around. The case does have plenty of space for two sets of bits and a third battery if I get one.
