Makita BTP140 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Hybrid 4-Function Impact-Hammer-Driver-Drill Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this when it came out, love it!
When I had difficulty driving screws it was because I had it in hammer drill mode, NOT impact drive mode.
It will drive deck screws below the surface.
Fasteners with washers or a head can rotate brackets, you just have to learn the feel of it.
Any driver can snap off a head, thats a weak fastener.
If your fastener stops proud of the surface you probably found a steel plate.
Four out of five stars for slight difficulty in sliding mode selector from day one, even so, its still the driver I use everyday for my living.
