Amazon.com Review
We’ve come a long way from sweat and a screwdriver. A hundred years ago, builders would never have
envisioned a tool as powerful and efficient as this one. Heck, even 20 years ago. Science has ushered battery
technology along, and the LXT Lithium-Ion system that powers this impact driver has a ton of advantages over
standard NiMH or NiCad batteries. The Lithium-Ion technology means 1,400 battery life cycles, longer run time,
lighter weight, a great reduction in the self-discharge rate and built-in shock-absorbing features to protect your
battery.
But perhaps the coolest innovation is what Makita calls its 45-minute Optimum Charger. It actually talks to the
batteries it charges throughout the cycle, using a built-in memory chip in the battery and, believe it or not, a CPU
chip in the charger itself, which analyzes the data stored in the battery chip to decide on the best charging method
at that time.
The drill/driver itself is fairly compact and lightweight, weighing in at less than 5 pounds, yet it’s packing a powerful
560 in./lbs. of torque. It’s got a super speed range of 0 to 300 rpm in low gear, 0 to 600 in mid-range and 0 to 1,700
rpm in top gear. Sometimes, you may encounter a little resistance if you’re switching directly from low gear to high;
if that happens, running the tool in mid-gear for a couple seconds completely alleviates any snag.
Makita’s always made ergonomically positive tools that feel good in your hand and take the strain off your body,
and this one’s no exception. The slightly curved grip is so comfortable, and the auxiliary handle gives you
supreme control. And because it’s super compact and lightweight, this driver’s an absolute pleasure to work with –
even overhead. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

From the Manufacturer
The hammer drill/ driver itself is fairly compact and lightweight, yet it’s packing a powerful 560 in./lbs. of torque. It’s
got a super speed range of 0 to 300 rpm in low gear, 0 to 600 in mid-range and 0 to 1,700 rpm in top gear. But look
at the numbers in hammer mode: up to 4,500 blows per minute in low gear, to 9,000 in mid-range and an astounding
0 to 25,500 in third gear. Wow. Sometimes, you may encounter a little resistance if you’re switching directly from
low gear to high; if that happens, running the tool in mid-gear for a couple seconds completely alleviates any snag.
