Corded impact driver without LED light and without batteries hassle
By Handy Man
I own Makita cordless impact driver that came with a fluoroscent work light and a drill. Two batteries are dying after 3 years of quite heavy home remodeling use.Cost of batteries replacement (two of them) is around one hundred sixty bucks. Therefore, I purchased this impact driver.Pros:- Ergonomics is very good - holding it in my palm is great (I have a rather short fingers)- Weight distribution is great too - see the handle position in the middle of top part (it looks like a letter T with a handle slightly slanted). Handle in my Hitachi drill is almost at the end of top part. This causes drill part with chuck to go down when holding drill horizontally. This puts strain on my palms. No strains when using Makita. A pleasure to work with.- Corded means I never have to worry about charging batteries and buying batteries (money saver)- Made in Japan which means that it should last forever- Lightweight - I believe it weighs less than a cordless impact driver- Long cord - I believe it is 8 feet long- Drives screws consistently thanks to 120V supply- Well designed plastic case has plenty of space for cord and other accessoriesCons:- Lack of LED light (LED light is very useful)- Cord can be sometimes in a way- Expensive due to the fact that it was made in Japan (no regrets though)- It has longer body compared to cordless impact driver - it might be difficult to fit between joists especially when driving longer screws.Overall I am pleased with this impact driver that drives #10 4" Philips decking screws quite nicely (I used 9/64" drill bit to drill pilot holes using 1/8" drill bit might cause failure if you drive screw through knot).I am pretty sure it will drive shorter screws much easier. I prefer square head (#2) screws and avoid Philips like a plague. Philips screws are OK probably up to 2". Philips screws start to be a hassle at length of 3" or more. Not so with square ones. No wonder why furniture manufacturers use square screws for at least two decades. I purchase my square screws (Scorpio brand) at Curtis Lumber. I also used Deckmate screws from Home Depot but Curtis Lumber has a better selection of screws. I tend to buy 25 lbs of screws of the same size because it gives the best bang for the buck.I used this Makita impact driver to install 5/4" mahogany decking using #10 stainless steel screws. I drilled pilot holes using 9/64" drill bit and not even one S2 screw head was stripped. This impact driver performed flawlessly."What you pay is what you get" definitely applies to this impact driver.This concludes my review. I hope that some people enjoy it.

By Craig Forget
Its a great piece of equipment to have. The impact option allow's you to screws so much more ifficiently, without slipping or stripping the heads of screws. I have my own business as a finish carpenter, and I will tell you, thiss drill is the best drill that I own. Its not like a cordless, that dies all of the time, and only last a couple of years before it needs replacing. And if your wondering about putting regular drill bits, without the hex bottoms to it, you can purchase a 3/8 quick chuck to put on to the drill from makita, which cost about 25$.

By A. Hachmann
This tool has exceeded my expectations. Even with a light gauge extension cord attached it is much lighter than the Dewalt 18volt cordless model it replaced. It has lots of torque. The only downside is how many driver bits I go through. The impact ready bits hold up better. This tool is hands down the best way to drive deck screws. I can't believe Makita is the only manufacturer of this type of tool.
