Effie, NOT to take any punch from Jeff's Bosch gloat but, if you're a Makita guy, then by all means, check out the Makita version of their impact drivers! I've got the 12v version and it just flat-out rocks! Very happy with mine.:) :cool:

Effie,

If you liked the Bosch and already have Makita tools, check out the Makita. I am not up on it's features, but I know the reviews are good out there. You may also be able to use your current batteries. Also, at one time they were running a promo where you would get a free makita drill.

John,

I do have a couple of 12v Makita’s with the newer Ni-MH batteries and I love them. I saw that Amazon is having sort of a deal, (actually I think it's a Makita deal) when you buy the impact tool you get a free drill. Now all have to do is find a project to justify buying it ;) .

Sorry Jeff for piggybacking on your thread.

Effie, No problem at all! Glad that you have found out about the Amazon deal. I didn't know if it was still going on. IMHO, it is a great deal! You get two more cordless tools, all of which share batteries.

Effie,

If you haven't purchased the makita, you may want to have another look at the Bosch. I found one for $140 although it is a 12v

Bosch 12v Impactor

Not trying to steer you away from the Makita, if I was buying full price, I may get the makita for the free drill.

Have fun!
