Amazon.com Review
The most powerful in-line screwdriver to date! Why? Well, two reasons: it sports the extended run time, high energy output Lithium-Ion batteries, and it's also an impact driver. It may seem unbelievable to have an impact driver so small, but it’s true. An impact driver hammers the chuck laterally to give increased torque to drilling and driving operations, as opposed to just relying on the motor to spin the chuck. This powerhouse provides 12-volt power, with Lithium-Ion and impact energy, in only 7.2 volts. This sweet little tool offers twice the torque of other 7.2 volt in-line screw drivers and any other in its class. Most in-line screw drivers are only 3.6 volts. This new Makita tool offers twice the voltage, twice the power and twice the run time of standard models.
Other great features include a comfortable rubber grip, an easy to reach thumb on/off switch and the easiest to use, all-metal, quick-change, hex, Insty bit chuck. The chuck only accepts drill bits and driver bits that have a hex shank at the opposite end of, for example, a no. 2 Phillips driver bit. This really speeds up bit changes. Hex Insty bits have really become the standard and are offered in every drill bit kit available. There is an accessory Makita chuck that converts the quick-change hex bit chuck into the older style 3-jaw chuck that will accept round shank drill bits, so you can use your existing bits.
What I like most about this tool is it bends nearly 90 degrees for controlled driving. Driving in-line is great for fast, light-duty driving. For example, electricians use these tools for installing wall plates over outlets and switches. Driving at a right angle is used for driving longer screws and driving/drilling where more controlled accuracy is needed. This tool also has an LED light under the chuck that illuminates the work area, which is great for working in dark cabinets and under shelves. -- Gabriel Shantara Ford

1 speed....not good for me. (2009-01-02)
I have had a couple of cordless screwdrivers in the past. They were always great for small household projects....like fixing toys, installing electrical plates when doing painting projects, etc. My last one died and I asked for a new one for X-mas. When I received this tool (Makita which I normally like) I assumed it would exceed the performance of those other devices. It absolutely did, but it comes at a cost. This thing is too much tool for what I had in mind and I am going to return it and replace with something a little smaller. It has no variable speed which makes it kind of overkill for the kind of tool I had in mind. I am afraid I would break more things than I would fix if I tried to use this and I already have 2 or 3 drills in my workshop. So....don't shy away from this if you need something in lieu of a good drill, but if you already have one this might be redundant...and since it has only 1 speed it might even not be preferable.
Great little driver with one small omission (2008-11-19)
It's a great little driver, well-balanced and light-weight thanks
to the L-Ion battery. The impact function (which can't be switched
out) does a good job of driving screws into tight materials. However,
the lack of a variable speed system makes it a little difficult to
use to start threaded screws into tapped holes and is the reason I
had to drop it down by one star.
This is a HOT SMOKIN' DEAL (2008-08-10)
For those that have used impact drivers you know. For those that haven't you should know. These are great tools and this particular one is an amazing bargain. These tools don't use clutches like cordless drills so you can easily overtighten a screw but the feedback given by the impaction mechanism clearly indicates, at least to me, when the screw is tight. The advantages are you can drive much larger screws without effort and, perhaps even more significantly, any type of back torque on your wrist. Additionally, you can drive screws much faster with an impact driver than you can with a clutch type drill.
Don't own a home without one! (2008-07-15)
This driver has plenty of power to do most any job around the house. screwdriver, drill, nutdriver, it does it all. The only reason I gave it four stars is that it could use a clutch adjustment and variable speed. But once you know how it handles, it truly becomes indispensable. I would highly recommend this cordless driver.
Great tool...great price...... (2008-06-22)
This tool is awesome. I work for a major utility company and use this tool for work in the field. It is light weight and very reliable. The battery life between charges is great! It has plenty of power to drive screws for even the toughest jobs.
I highly reccommend this product.
