A Comprehensive Power Tool Assortment from Makita
Makita really knows how to put a kit together, and this 18-volt cordless combo set is a fine example of how one purchase can flesh out an entire workshop. The LXT407 set includes a 1/2-inch hammer drill/driver (BHP452), an impact driver (BTD140), a reciprocating saw (BJR182), and a rechargeable flashlight (BML185) -- plus two LXT Lithium-Ion 3.0Ah batteries (BL1830), a 30-minute rapid charger (DC18RA), and a rugged contractor's bag to tote and store the whole collection.

The Hammer Drill/Driver
The BHP452 boasts a Makita-built, 4-pole maximum torque motor that delivers 450 in./lbs. of torque in a lightweight body. Its Shift-Lock drive system sleeve quickly shifts from 'hammer drill' to 'driver' mode for swift shifting between projects with less downtime, and the 2-speed design (0-400/0-1500) covers a wide range of drilling and driving applications. This drill/driver's compact design is only 9-1/2 inches long and weighs just 3.9 pounds, so it won't weigh down your wrist and it's easy to use for long stretches of time. There's even a trigger-forward built-in LED light for a helpful touch of extra light in dark corners.

Key Technical Specs:

• Chuck Size: 1/2-inch
• No-load RPM: 0-400 (low), 0-1500 (high)

This driver's ergonomic shape fits like a glove and weighs just 3.3 pounds, for less operator fatigue and better control. This advanced, efficient driver also features a built-in LED light to let you see into all those narrow, dark corners, plus an electric brake for immediate stops and minimized kickback. Its two-piece armature and field, combined with externally accessible brushes, mean easy serviceability and a longer motor life.

This saw's compact design is only 17-3/4 inches long and weighs just 8.1 pounds, so it's easy to use and control -- even for long periods of time -- and its ergonomic shape fits your palm like a glove.

Rating: - Great Set
I love this set. Plenty of power, lighter than my bosch 14.4v set. Quick charge. Long life batteries(way longer than my bosch set).
All the tools are real, & solid. Lith-ion batteries are light & powerful(easily drives 10" GRK fasteners)
This has worked great for me. I'm a builder & use it daily. No problems yet(1 yr). I added the 6 1/4 skill saw & love that too. I do alot of early onsite(before powers in) work. Drain pipe, underslab plumbing, footing pads...and alot of punchlist, going somewhere to do a few little things w/ min. set up. This works great for that too.
This has been the best cordless set I've ever owned.

Rating: - Good kit
I bought the kit from Home Depot when it first came out 3 years ago. As a kit, it's a solid performer. If I were to rate the individual products, I would have to say impact driver and the drill are exceptional...wouldn't trade them for any other. The LED was a really nice addition to these tools. I've had to use them in my attic a few times and the LED lights have proven invaluable. Both have exceptional torque and battery life is good. The belt clip is another of my favorite features. Since it's flat, I simply slip them over the edge of my pocket and they never fall off...best belt clip design I've used.

My kit also came with the circular saw. Both the circular saw and the reciprocating saw could use a little more power. The circular saw seems to drain the battery too fast and the recipro. cuts nails fine but struggles with wood cuts. I don't know if the problem is with the battery or the saws themselves. I still use them but only for very small jobs.

The flashlight works great and seems to be fairly tough. I've dropped it from as high as 6 ft. on a few occasions and it has not broken yet. It's replaced my other flashlights for general use. It's bright enough to be used as a spotlight in my boat.

At the time I purchased this kit I also looked at the DeWalt tools...which were less expensive. I didn't like the heavier weight of the DeWalt batteries so I went with Makita. I'm still pleased with my purchase.

Outstanding set of tools! The drill and impact driver have plenty of power and torque. The batteries charge quick. I have not used the saw, yet. Looking forward to big project for the real test. Can not beat the price!

Rating: - Excellent Toolkit! Owner for 6 months and still happy!
I love this combo kit! I have owned this kit nor for about 6 months and used them in every home improvement project to date. The 18V LXT battery life is excellent and tools are rugged and durable. I have found that the Reciprocating Saw does drain the battery faster than any of the other tools, but that is to be expected. The white LED is a nice touch to help illuminate the work area, but could use improvement. The drill chuck casts a shadow directly on the target area, so it seems the placement of the LED could have been positioned in a better place to reduce this minor annoyance.

To supplement the tools in this kit, I also purchased the Makita 18V LXT Fluorescent/Incandescent Flashlight (BML184), 18V Makita Cordless LXT Lithium-Ion 6-1/2" Circular Saw (BSS610Z), and Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Jig Saw (BJV180Z).

Overall, I'm very happy with the Makita LXT series tools and would recommend it for home or professional use.
