I bought the drill, impact and the 5.0 AH 18 V batteries. Drill set is great, has 3 modes, 21 adjustable torque clutch and 2 speeds. I use the drill frequently to remove access panels on aircraft, bought the set a few months ago and have NOT had to charge the batteries once. The impact has impressive torque, but has no speed or modes so its all go. With the 5.0 AH batteries they do become quite heavy, so if you use them on a daily basis and are worried about fatigue, the 4.0 AH would be the better choice

Makita tools are great! My son-in-law had the set with 4 AH batteries. I liked it when I used it a few times so I got this set. The 5 AH batteries are noticably heavier and are overkill if you aren't a contractor or doing a big project.

This drill/impact driver kit showed me how tools SHOULD function. The impact driver is my most used and indispensable tool I own and it is POWERFUL. I’ve used it with a spade bit to cut holes in studs to run plumbing/electric and it could break your wrist if you’re not careful - it’s a beast. A monster. A demon. It must be respected.I have rebuilt an entire home with these tools, started doing paid contracting work, custom furniture building, you name it - and they haven’t shown one sign of slowing down regardless of the abuse, drops and falls, or using them for a job that calls for a more “powerful” tool like a rotary hammer or mixing drill. I did find the drill’s limit when mixing a 5 gallon bucket of some thick Venetian plaster, but the drill shut itself off at the right time to avoid any damage, flashing its LED to let me know it needed a break.The big thing with this kit is the BATTERIES! The 5amp batteries for the price are what made me go with this kit initially over the comparable black and yellow brand. It’s almost like you’re getting the most pro quality tools for free when you consider how much these batteries cost on their own. On these tools the 5amp batteries could get you through a week’s worth of heavy daily use. They’ve also never let me down when using them in other more power hungry tools like saws and my angle grinder. After 2 years of heavy daily use I do not notice any loss in battery life.Whether these are your first power tools or you’re upgrading from something more entry level, these are worth every penny and much much more. They are built to LAST and you will never outgrow these as your skills and projects advance.I would also highly recommend going with these over the cheaper non-brushless Makitas if you’re debating between them - The difference is massive. My mom has the non-brushless kit and they feel like children’s toys in comparison to these and the batteries are not compatible with the broader range of Makita tools. Once you have these and the 5amp batteries it makes the rest of the Makita line quite affordable when buying “tool-only” since these batteries can handle anything you throw at it.

I’ll never need another compact drill or impact again. This combo paired with some bits and adapters will get the job done. We used these smaller impacts to death when I worked at Yamaha. I know they can take a lot of abuse and keep going every day.You will need a bigger impact to take off lug nuts or big bolts though.

This drill motor is great, but the chuck is garbage. The jaws are too smooth and wont grip a drill bit and that's a total frustration. I replaced the chuck with a after market chuck and my hope that it's better. The impact driver doesn't have a force adjustment and it brakes off screws. It would be fine for larger bolts of 1/4" or larger, but don't depend on it for smaller screws because it will either strip them out or snap them off. It's too bad that the screw driver doesn't have a force adjustment, that would make much more usable. The batteries seem to hold up better than some of my other cordless tools, but it's a little too early to make a conclusive judgement. The bag, that is included, is impossible to keep bits and attachments organized so I purchased the Maketa plastic case. I Velcrowed striped inside the case to hold my drill index and an assortment of other things inside and that works well to keep them in place. So far, the drill is performing well, other than a poorly mad chuck the came with it.

I have put these Makita's to the test and they passed with flying colors. Tools have held up great and the batteries last a very long time. These were a great purchase and I highly recommend them. Very durable tools and batteries
