 What People Like About The Makita LXT211

  •  “The Makita LXT211 drill is powerful and the hammer action is good for cement and brick fastener drilling.  The impact fastener is a beast!  Light, compact, and the battery last a really long time.  I’m a general contractor and have Dewalt and Milwaukee lithium tools to compare.  Makita and Dewalt win this round of lithium tools.  Tool quality is excellent.  The LED light and belt clip are handy.”
  •  “Well built all around!  Solid feel yet lightweight for an 18V system.  Silently delivers torque and speed.  The grip and rubberized body ergonomics are just about perfect.  These batteries last forever!  And having a backup driver is almost SINFUL.  This combo replaces a 15 year old Makita Ni-Cad system, only because of battery is now obsolete.  Makita has never disappointed me and the Makita LXT211 continues to deliver.”
  •  “I had reservations about the light feature until I found out how bright it is and that it stays on for a while.  I have even taken to just using it instead of carrying a flashlight too.  There is also a glow in the dark ring that helps you find the impact driver in the dark.  Sounds a little silly until you find out that the light is attached to something that can drive a 12′lag screw into a glu-lam with ease.  It is also small enough to fit in tight quarters and light enough to use all day without causing the tennis elbow I was getting from my 18 volt Porter Cable hammer drill.  Just getting the impact driver and charger was worth the cost, but the drill is a nice bonus.”

 

 What People Don’t Like About The Makita LXT211

  •  “I have owned five Makita impact drives and four cordless drills.  The impacts are just awesome, but the drill, on the other hand, sucks.  Yes it is powerful and works great up until the point where you can’t get the bit out of the chuck without destroying the drill.  This has happened to all five.”
  •  “I bought a Makita LXT211, and as much as it pains me to make this comment, things need to be known.  The drill made a strange sounds and a chattering or knocking on deceleration.  Not the normal knock from stopping when turning at high rpm’s.  This continued for two more Makita LXT211 kits I returned.  The impact driver worked great.  I called Makita and the technician was nice.  Another representative of Makita called and offered to upgrade me to the better model hammer drill.”
