 Makita LCT200W 18-volt compact lithium-ionm cordless combo kit August 31, 2009
Edward F. Rutledge (USA)
I am very pleased with my new Makita LCt200 Combo Kit.
Plenty of power, yet extremely lightweight. I would
recommend it to anyone. Charges in 15 minutes or less.
Works great. I Love It!!!

Lightweight and powerful July 28, 2009
Michael B. Labelle (Richmond, Virginia United States)
I purchased this kit as a suppliment to my DeWalt cordless kits.
I was pleasantly surprised by the lightweight and extremely quick recharge time of 15 minutes.
The drill and impact driver a re soo light it is almost unbeleivable that they have the power they do at such a light weight.
The impact driver has enough power to drive 1/4"x 3" Tap-Cons into concrete without any trouble, it also will snap screws off if you are not careful.
Overall a great kit, with power lightweight for all day use and decent battery run time. They do offer a higher capacity battery for extended run times. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this kit to any tradesman or anyone else who requires a high quality cordless impact/drill combo kit that is Li-Ion driven. Cudos to Makita for this one.
Makita LCT200W July 8, 2009
Deva (IL)
I purchased about 4 of these kits (new) over last 2 years on some discount websites for about $200 ( for my husband, my father,my friend, etc.) I was hoping to get the same deal this time around,but I have to agree with other review, that you cannot find this combo under $250 ( unless it's recond.).. And boom!I found it on Amazon for ... wow! $228 and free shipping...and no sales tax ... and that, my friends, beats them all! even Home Depot,which offered this combo for $223 Internet Special plus shipping, plus sales tax= $260 per kit. I got 2 of these (for gifts) because the men in my family swear by it and this is the lowest price (I think).
>>This combo kit has THE BEST weight to power ratio<<
 Good tools but wrong combo pack July 2, 2009

As of July 1st 2009 the price on this combo is $254.35 while the price of the 18 volt Lithium Ion 3 piece combo is $249.99. The drill, the impact driver, the charger & the 2 batteries are identical. What this boils down to is that if you order this item you will be paying $4.36 EXTRA for the priveledge of NOT getting a light w/ your combo pack. So unless the prices have changed you should save yourself $4.36 and get a free 18v cordless light with your combo pack.
As for the tools themselves I cannot speak for the cordless drill in these combo packs as I've never used it. Haven't used the light either. But I have used this model of the Impact driver & it's a winner all the way around. I have also used older, non-lithium ion versions of several makita drills & I owned the old non-lithium ion (nickel cadmium i believe) version of a makita work-light & they were great tools. Unfortunately my old set was stolen w/ many of my other tools so I guess I finally get to upgrade myself into modern times & get the lightweight lithium ion stuff :) Also I guess I'll mention I have used makita lithium-ion drills before, but the 3/8" variety i believe & not the 1/2". They all worked well. I haven't used a makita cordless tool that I haven't liked that was made in the last 10 years.
Don't listen to Reviews about Poor batteries! June 13, 2009
R. Joyner (AZ)
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
First of all, this is an OUTSTANDING Drill/driver combo! I want to point out to all who have read reviews about the batteries being poor that the ones who have written those reviews have neglected to point out that the batteries that come with the set are 1.5 amp hour batteries. The 3.0 Amph batteries are sold with a seperate combo set (LXT-202) which is nearly twice the price. So, OBVIOUSLY they are not going to last as long. The benefit of the 1.5 amp batts. is that the drill is MUCH lighter, and since you can recharge the battery in fifteen min. its not an issue. The exception would be DAILY contractors. In addition, since you have 2 batteries you're not gonna have any down time. I just recently built a 10x12 pergola that included 4x6 posts, 2x10 beams and 2x8 rafters in about 3 days and I charged a battery three times during that span. Never once was a battery dying ever an issue during the construction. If you really NEED to, you can purchase 2 additional batteries for around 80 bucks and you would still be about $100 under the LXT combo set. You could even purchase the 3.0 amph batteries for this set if you wanted (they're interchangable!!). To give this combo set 2 stars because a reviewer neglects to take in account value in proportionate to functionality does a disservice to us all. If you're like me, a very busy DIY'er, this combo set is perfect! It's by far my favorite and most useful tool around the house. Here is somthing else to chew on. I bought my set for $180 online about a year ago(that included s&h) and now I haven't seen this set for under $250 (NEW, not refurbished). Hmmmm, I wonder why? It must be those terrible batteries;) One more thing, if you watch alot of home improvement tv shows, look closely. Several of the contractors on the show have this exact combo set sitting in the background and/or being used in plane sight. If its good enough for them..... I hope this review has more accuratly explained this product and what it has to offer. The only dissappointment is that I can no longer get this for $180 for my friends :(
