    About Makita's 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Tool Series
    As one of the pioneers driving the cordless tool revolution, Makita changed the game with its breakthrough 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Series. Three years after its debut, Makita's LXT Series has grown from seven to over 35 tools, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen. Makita also added 18V Compact Lithium-Ion for cordless power in a more compact size. Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries and ENERGY STAR rated Optimum Charging System provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries, Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have 40% less weight, longer run time, and five-times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use at any time.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great Tools Set for the Price, Needs Better Packaging, December 20, 2008

    This review is from: Makita LXT702 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 7-Piece Combo Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)
    I received this product via free shipping, and like the other reviewers, mine was poorly packaged. No box in a box, just the mfr box. Corners were dented, box was torn up, looked like it had been dropped on one end a few times. Inside, I found all the tools, but some of the items had shifted and were scuffed up a bit. Some items were floating around, like the screwdriver bit, and the sawsall bit.

    However, all the tools functioned properly, and I got this set for a good price. These are top quality tools. Even the radio sounds decent, with a aux input for a MP3 player. Would have been nicer if the radio played CD's, but it doesn't.

    For the price, this is a great deal, so just refuse the package if it arrives beat up so you can avoid the return shipping charges and get another one.

    A little unrelated, but when I first found this item it was priced at $494, but when I checked out about two hours later, the unadvertised "sale" on this item ended,... Read more

    Absolutely love the tools!! The shipping problems also appear to be fixed, mine was shipped placed inside of a stronger exterior box with everything intact. I would also agree with previous reviews that I'm not too keen on the duffel bag, it has pockets for two drills, the recip saw, and the charger, most everything else just lays loose in the bag. I did find that if I packed the radio in the bag as well things fit snugly and didn't get banged around too much. A solid case would have been nice but on the other hand most likely would have been extremely large. Quick review of tools -

    Drill - better than awesome
    Driver - Even better than the drill, already survived a drop off the ladder unscathed
    Recip saw - Very strong, yet soft to operate
    Angle Grinder - Like it but rpm seems slow, doesn't back down though and it has a cool overload indicator
    light
    Circular saw - Great for a battery powered saw
    Flashlight - Bright, but would have liked to... Read more

    This review is from: Makita LXT702 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 7-Piece Combo Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)
    I'm a general contractor that has done a lot of commercial electrical work as well. I've been using Bosch 18v cordless tools for awhile now and they worked ok. Big and clunky, but lots of power much like the Dewalt stuff. After doing a bunch of work at a Makita testing plant and getting to know some of Makita's engineers I was very impressed and decided to try out Makita tools after my Bosch stuff started to get old. I've been very stoked on this tool set! All the tools are much lighter in weight, but feel more solid.(Might have something to due with most of my Bosch stuff being made in Mexico) The power seems to be a little down compared to my Bosch, but not much. The light weight and compactness of these tools more than makes up for their slight lack of power. I purchased two of the smaller batteries and use them with the drill and impact gun. (other than the light these are the only tools the smaller batteries fit in this set, although the bigger batteries work with all the... Read more
