Nice
By Mike Troutner
I haven’t done the voltage and charge-discarge test to test it right (and am not the guy to do that,) but I trade batteries, solar electric merchandise and such for a living, and the sound, action and uttermost performace so far is killer. If you get, let’s say, B&D ‘Firestorm’ 18 volt batteries, the charger is DUMB and doesn’t know when the battery is charged, when to lay off the battery and keep a voltage-sustaining charge to it (instead of cramming amps into a charged battery and overheating and killing your battery over time.) This one seems to do it right. The Makita stuff is genuinely good, esp. this ‘lithium’ line of product. I have 6 dissimilar tools and they all are really, actually good.
The Makita lithium hammer drill is 3 times quicker than the B&D CORDED hammer drill I had. I did 200 block-penetrating, hurricane shutter drills with the B&D and then decisive to get the Makita.
SO much easier, quiter and more immediate with the Makita (and it’s a cordless!.) I could have saved myself a lot of time and hearing using quality tools like Makita. Live and learn.

Makita Quick Charger
By D. Mueller
Charger works very well. A welcome upgrade from the usual charger that came with the set. Fast charge allows me to keep working without interuption, and helps because I don’t need as a good deal of batteries when using multiple tools(drill, circular saw, affect driver, etc.) Definitely recommend.
