- Is this impact driver good for home use?
- Yes. It is light, easy to control and handles screws, furniture assembly and light drilling. The small batteries are fine for short jobs around the house.
- How does it compare with the older brushed Makita impact driver?
- The brushless motor gives more runtime per charge, runs cooler and lasts longer. It is also more compact than the older brushed model.
- Can it drill holes as well as drive screws?
- It can drill with hex-shank bits in wood and light metal. It is not a replacement for a hammer drill or a drill with a keyed chuck for masonry or large bits.
- What batteries does it use?
- It uses Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries. The kit includes two 2.0 Ah packs, and any LXT battery fits.
- What is in the box?
- The driver, two 2.0 Ah batteries, a charger and a carrying case. Bits are not included.
- Is it worth it over a bigger 18V impact driver?
- If you want a light driver for most jobs, yes. If you drive long lag bolts or work all day, a full-size driver with larger batteries will suit you better.
- Where is the Makita 18 Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Compact Brushless Cordless Impact Driver Kit, 2.0 Ah cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $259.00, as of our latest check.
