Review on 🔧 Makita XT706 3.0Ah Lithium-Ion Cordless Power Tool Combo Kit by Shedrick Roach

Revainrating 5 out of 5

good sentence. Good performance. feels strong So far, so good!

My first cordless power tool was a Makita 10.8V drill that I bought years ago to assemble furniture and hang pictures. It has served me so well that when I wanted to expand my toolbox I didn't hesitate to choose this 18v combo kit. This kit is pretty reliable. Tools are easy to hold; have a good (qualitative) attitude towards them. So far I have never had the feeling that they are too weak or have no batteries. I can't tell you if they are the "best" but they definitely met or exceeded my expectations. Here are some things I've done: 1. Angle grinder: Used to shorten the footplate on a kid's bike. It took about 20 seconds to cut through it smoothly and cleanly. There was no angle grinder before. It's quickly becoming a favorite.2. Mutual Saw: Branches are no match for this cordless wonder! I cut a few 3-5 inch branches and the saw was flawless. 3. Circular Saw: A bundle of 3/4" plywood torn. A pile of sawdust at the end was very satisfied. The saw is easy to use and operate. The small safety switch took a little getting used to, but otherwise everything went smoothly. 4. Impact Wrench ( not a drill but a different one): This drove about 50 screws into the plywood above. Same as butta. More than enough torque.5. Drill/screwdriver: Attach the fence board with 2" wood screws. Too simple. I would use 10V but wanted to try a new kit ;) Today I used it to pierce an aluminum profile - about 1/2 inch. thick. No problem.6. I could probably do without blower, flashlight and bag. I'm sure I'll find a use for them. Overall I am satisfied with this set. I haven't had any trouble solving problems so far. For weekend warrior projects and household items, this is a good choice!

Pros

Cons
