Bare-Tool Makita BTP140Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Hybrid 4-Function Impact-Hammer-Driver-Drill (Tool Only, No Battery) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Sadly, this tool flat doesn't work. I have used mine a few dozen times. After it died, I sent it into Makita. They quickly repaired it and returned it, free of charge. It now works, but the 4-in-1 gears never meshed right, and I can tell (audible que) that the repaired tool is no better.
Basically tools in this price/voltage range have high expectations. I would like to push this tool hard and have confidence in it, but find myself babying it. Really all I trust it to do, I can do with my 12V tiny hand-held drills and drivers.
It would be great to be able to carry only one driver around to do all these things. We're not there, yet. There's a reason no other manufacturer has one of these on the market, the other manufacturers have the composure not to release something that can't perform to expectations.
