Review : Makita quality at a great price...win-win

Got this as a birthday gift, from me to me. In the time that has passed since it arrived, I have used every tool in the kit. Initially, I thought the blower would be useless, but found it makes cleaning my shop much easier. The drill has exceptional torque, as does the driver. The circ saw lasts longer than expected on one charge. The reciprocating saw is as powerful as my corded "red" one, and the angle grinder has a new home on my welding cart. The charger works great and keeps up with my demand. As a bonus, the canvas tote bad is wheeled and makes it easy to carry everything in one kit.

Review : A pretty close to complete set, priced incredibly

I am a carpenter and have transferred almost all my materials over to Makita. I think Milwaukee currently has the best line of battery tools on the market but you can pick up Makita battery tools for just over half the price which is worth it for me! Makita tools are precise! They may lack power compared to Milwaukee but they are precise and can be relied upon to make quality and dependable cuts. Makita tools in general may not last as long as Milwaukee (if you are a demo-centric plumber tearing out old plumbing all day long Makita may not be for you) but otherwise Makita works great for all the other trades. As far as battery powered tools for a carpenter, this kit is complete barring an oscillating tool. The blower, which I at first thought was a throwaway, is probably my favorite tool in the bunch. It has cut my jobsite cleanup time in half and allows someone like me who is normally a slob in terms of cleaning my tools to blow them off in seconds at the end of every day. The bag is bada** and is my new travel bag; it's a little big for this kit in my opinion but I drive a truck and not van so I'm constantly trying to make space.
