 Milwaukee Vs Makita |
| Review Date: March 9, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Matthew S. Malone, Boston MA |
After owning two of the white Makita lith-ion drills I had to return both of them because the charger kept killing the batteries dead. From what I have read this is a known problem.
Here is what I like better about the Milwaukee.
First the charger does not kill the $80 batteries no matter how long you leave them on the charger. Second, the Milwaukee has a great battery charge indicator right on the battery. This is very important with Lith-Ion batteries as they have full power right up to the end and quit without warning. With is level gauge you know exactly how much battery life you have when you grab your drill. Third, the Milwaukee drill has bit storage on board, handy for philips and reg bits. Lastly the red color holds up much better then white.
Hope this helps. |
Milwaukee vs. Makita

I recently owned a Makita set so I will compare the two. I use the tools every day in remodel and new construction work.
* The Milwaukee is slightly heavier, but still easy to use.
* The belt clip on tool base is very useful. Makita doesn't have same feature.
* Battery life seems to be the same. I love the charge level indicator on the battery, but when it is dead, it stops immediately, no gradual loss.
* The hard plastic carry case will last much longer than the Makita cordura bag, which was pretty beat up after six months of use.
* Both brands have a use light above trigger but Makita's will glow for a short stretch after trigger release whereas the Milwaukee turns off immediately.
* Makita also has the glow ring on the impact driver that makes finding it in the dark easier, very handy.
* The Milwaukee impact driver has a rubber bumper strip on both sides of the nose for friction protection [nice] but one end on both sides come unattached with very little use [annoying]. I had to super glue them in place and they have held for several weeks.
* I anticipate no difference in tool life and durability having used both tool brands for many years.

| Recently I've been doing a lot of work around the house getting ready for winter. I went to Home Depot looking for an impact driver (something that could easily drive 4-6 inch lag screws and 8-10 inch Timberlock screws). The Makita and Milwaukee impact drivers seemed to outperform any others available. I chose the Milwaukee based on prior experience with this brand AND final sale price of $225.00 for the set (versus $275 for the Makita). Right out of the box there was enough charge in the battery to finish driving several timber screws in a drain box I was repairing. I've been very impressed with the weight, durability, and performance of this set. The torque in the impact driver is eye-popping. No buyer's remorse for this tool purchase. |
Crushes Makita on baterry time

| BUY THIS SET NOW! This set is awesome and I have the Makitas too. Not a knock against Makita. Makita success is responsible for the era of micro lithium tools. The last reviewer is not telling you the battery time is great. They are incredible. 92 units of 3 1/2 screws in Trex on one battery |
Great combo kit and one awesome impact

| Great buy on an awesome combo kit. I already own a Milwaukee 2601-20 M18 Compact drill and driver. I wanted to get a cordless impact to replace my piece-o-junk Dewalt cordless impact; which I sold to a fellow co-worker because he thinks Dewalt tools are the best thing since sliced bread. Anyway as a Die-Hard Milwaukee fan I was going to get the 18v NiCad version of the Cordless Impact(tool only) to go with my Lok-Tor series cordless hamerdrill/driver. I was in my local Home Depot and I noticed this combo kit for $299. I was hesitant at first because I already had the exact drill but I thought it would not hurt to have 2. After I purchased this kit I had o try it out. The drill was the same as my other one, which is awesome. The impact has to be the best in ts class with 1400 in-lb of torque that beats the Dewalt by 200 in-lbs. I had this drive loosening rusty hardware on an old conduit rack outside, it feels stable in your hands and is so light you can use it overhead for long periods of time. I fastened a shoulder strap to the case nd take the whole kit up extension ladders onto roofs with me, and with the weight of these tools its just like having one NiCad drill with you. A+++ to Milwaukee for designing these 2 great tools. |
