5.0 out of 5 stars Love Makita tools, October 7, 2008

I've had Makita tools for over 20 years and all of them are still working. I am not a Contractor but more towards the occasional renovation. I have a big project coming up and need portable Pro tools. Only recently have the power from higher voltage batteries made this possible. Not the cheapest "Set" but far better built than the competition. This set is a nice combination of tools and though most people don't think they have need for the light, it ends up being used often. Great to have during a power failure - 12 hours of a powerful light with the two batteries. Charger is fast and should be able keep up with heavy tool use. A battery powered circular saw with this much power and stamina - never thought I would ever own one! Love it!!

OKAY! It is now a year later and I have finished my Log Cabin in Vermont. Actually, I just did the interior but that is still a whole summer of work. All the walls, doors, stairs, plumbing and electrical work. All done with just this set of power tools with just the addition of the LXT jigsaw. I also got 2 more batteries as often you work with more than one tool at a time. The tools made it easy. Batteries last and recharge faster then I used them up. Drill and jigsaw last the longest. The circular saw needs the most power and depletes the battery fastest but the next battery is already waiting. The included blade for the circular saw is high quality and lasted for the entire project - still good for a while yet! I used the reciprocal saw the least but it is fine also. I have small hands but the tools are really well balanced and not too heavy. The batteries deliver maximum power till the end and don't slowly get weaker and weaker. You know when it is time to recharge. Very glad I got these tools. No hesitation in recommending them or any other Makita tool! Just wish I had another cabin to do...

This review is from: Makita LXT406 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 4-Piece Combo Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bot this set a few days ago and rec'd it within two days of it being shipped. Amazon had the best price, plus free shipping. Good deal ! Upon inspection, the three main tools - drill/circular saw/recipro saw all look to be of very high quality. The forth tool(if you can call it a tool)is the light. It is just basic plastic with 4 increments of adjustment, but it works well. The carrying bag is very nice. It's made of a heavy material and is slightly padded all around. My reservation at this early stage of ownership is with the drill. The chuck appears to have a slight wobble. It is noticeible at the lower RPMs. At the higher RPMs it's more of a slight vibration. I will need to try it under different scenarios to see if it affects the precision of drilling,screwing etc. The drill is the BHP452 model. Has anyone else noticed this wobble?? I would be disappointed if I had to return it back to Amazon, plus I would have to pay a hefty shipping cost.
I'll follow up once I give the drill a good trial.

I have been using this tool set a couple weeks. Very satisfied. Batteries charge quickly and last a long time. The price is better than anywhere else I looked. I have many makita tools and am happy with the quality of the tools.
