Not a terrible deal for the 12v Makita set, its their older stick pack style but if someones looking for something compact or you know a basic homeowner, it looks okay
While I am a Makita fan, their white color tools are not favorites. I have a couple of them and the surface finish of that color housing is a dirt magnet. Impossible to keep clean, especially if used in an automotive repair environment. Good clean tools leave a better impression, in my opinion, when working on site, than ones that look like they have not been well cared for. This may seem a bit anal, but some of the customers I have had over the years could make this attitude look down-right rosy.
Nice find Jimbo!
I actually had that set a while back. It’s pretty decent but the line kind of floundered. The impactor was great. Can’t wait to see how the new 12v line goes, they’re already introducing brushless ones!

Yea I saw that the CXT line looks pretty good.
I haven’t seen much with that line but since Hilti introduced their 12v line it looks like the compact 12v line might be in For some major changes!

Steep pricing if you ask me
I also hate the fact the case looks like a girls make up case or something. A hard case is nice but make it look like something for a guy 🙂 Your also buying into a DOA tool line which might be ok for some but not for us tool crazy people here.
Wow that’s way to much for a 12 volt looks nice a glad to see 12 volt moving forward but that’s nuts
As much as a fan I am of Makits 18 volt line up, I’m sticking with Milwaukee for my 12V needs
Yea mikey i agree, Its cool their newer 12v packs have a fuel gauge but i dot think it can over take the m12 line
