Customer Review: Drills are for drilling, this is for driving fasteners!
Summary: 5 Stars
Like most people, I had been using a cordless drill to drive screws. This is no longer the case thanks to my Makita Impact Driver.
An impact driver drives a bit in rotation, much like a drill does. But the difference occurs when the driver bit meets resistance-Then it "hammers" the bit in a rotational direction. No, this is not like a hammer drill that hammers the bit back and forth while rotating.
As you may have noticed, the torque on this is significantly higher than any cordless drill.Weighing just 3.7 pounds, this tool is much lighter than a cordless drill, alot more compact.And, cranking out 0 - 3,200 impacts per minute, this tool gets the job done fast, too.
This tool is not without limitations- For example, it really is only meant to drive fasteners, not drill holes. It will do so in a pinch, but the bits have to have a 1/4 inch shank with a quick connect type end.(there are aftermarket conversion chucks for these, but I have no experience with them as of yet...)I would not recommend bits over 3/4 of an inch.
When the ratcheting action kicks in, some find it to be loud. I don't, but I may just be used to it.The results are even the longer fasteners are driven home painlessly, effortlessly, and without stripping the head of the screw!
Better quality driver bits are highly recommended for use with this tool as the higher torque will quickly wear out and even snap the heads off of cheaper driver bits!
There is no clutch on this tool, so you have to be careful and develop a feel for seating screws without having them blow right through the material. Used correctly, this tool could be right at home hanging drywall.
With your purchase of this tool,you get: 2 2.6Ah (Ni-MH) Batteries that offer significant improvement in longeviety and run time over their NICAD counterparts.
1434 Universal Charger That charges Makita batteries from 9.6-14 volts, bot NICAD and NIMH
2 Battery Cover To protect the terminals when you throw the battery into your tool bucket at the end of the day with a bunch of other tools...
Tool Case with ample room for a drill, flashlight and accessories.
The tool feels great in the hand, with plenty of rubber overmold grip. The batteries slide in and out easily, locking in very securely. The trigger feel is excellent, with no flat spots, very responsive!
The light weight of this tool makes it a pleasure to use doing overhead work. It drives a wole lot more screws per charge than any cordless drill I ever used.The LED light comes in handy when working in dark spaces. My brother in law has the Dewalt 18 volt model, and he wishes that it had a light.
My impact driver came with a rebate for a free drill, so that made it even sweeter! This offer still looks to be available.
There are so many uses for this tool that I only wish I'd gotten one sooner. This tool would have made quick work of driving the 3/8 lag screws(without pre drilling!) on the arbor that my brother in law and I built in my backyard.
