"Compact Impact Wrench" 2010-04-09
By HVAC Installer
Takes lug nuts off of my 2000 Tundra, my 2008 Ford 3/4 ton van and my girlfriend's 2008 Suzuki. Used it to change sway bar endlinks on the Tundra. Great little tool, packs a heck of a punch. Batteries are fantastic for my occasional usage.

"Great little impact wrench" 2009-07-29
By SBD Flyer (Naperville, IL)
I was apprehensive at first about this tool. [...]. Breaks lugnuts easily on my Subaru WRX. Nice compact size, great LED lite on the front, and the ring on the front glows-in-the-dark. Would recommend this tool to anyone. I work as a maintenace tech for Caterpillar. While this impact does not have the torque of the big guns, it works on everything automotive at home and it's size and convience is great.

"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee!" 2009-06-12
By J. Roscinski (Pennsylvania)
This thing is simply awesome! The size and weight is misleading; it packs a mean punch. I bought it to swap wheels and tires when I rallycross. When it was delivered I decided to put it through its paces. To my surprise, it was able to break loose bolts that held struts to knuckles on my parts car, as well as the big nut on the end of an axlestub. I haven't yet had a chance to use it for an extended period of time, but from my experience, the battery holds a charge for a while. Did I mention you can fit it pretty much anywhere a standard air-powered impact gun would fit? And it has a little LED light on the end! Does your air gun have one of those? This came with a nice (albeit large) hard plastic case, 2 batteries, and a fancy charger.

"Best impact wrench ever!" 2009-02-14
By foscoe944 (Charlotte, NC United States)
With respect to the reviewer who said it would not break lugnuts tightened to 95 ft/lbs on his BMW, I found just the opposite to be true. I wonder if perhaps he (or she) had a bad tool.

I also use mine for changing race tires on my BMW. I have used numerous impact wrenches that my friends own (some of which could not break lugnuts at all even on a full charge) and I have used another Makita without the LiON battery, which I used to own. I have found that not only can this one easily break lug nuts tightened to 95 ft/lbs, but that it can do many many wheels one charge. I'd pass mine around the paddock and it could be used all weekend by several people without a recharge. It would even sit in the trailer for a couple of weeks without a recharge and still break lugnuts loose.

While this one certainly isn't cheap, I'd have to say that because of it's very small size and huge power it far surpasses all the other impact drivers I have used and is well worth the money.

"Too good to be true" 2008-05-24
By J. Wong (Brooklyn, New York United States)
I purchased this impact wrench strictly for changing tires at the track from regular tire to racing compound tires. The lug bolt is 17mm from a BMW and I torque it to 95ft/lbs with a Craftsman spring type torque wrench. The Makita impact wrench was not able to break the nut! Rated at 177 ft/lbs but could not break a 95 ft/lbs nut. Yes I charged the batteries and tried both of them with the same result. I don't know if I got a defective drill or what, but thank goodness I purchased from Amazon so return was not an issue. The only reason I gave this product even one star is that the batteries charged quickly and the drill is light. Unfortunately too light to be any good.

"Just my luck" 2009-11-14
By John (Albuquerque, NM)
The BTD141 is a 2008 update/improved version of the BTD140. Not much difference but some improved internal parts (slightly higher max torque), slightly different appearance (mainly the plastic gearbox shroud), and a different chuck. This chuck allows you to push in a hex bit without pulling out the sleeve.

Just my luck; a week after I bought this, Makita comes out with the revolutionary Makita BTD144 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Impact Driver with brushless motor. There is a reason why the BTD144 is the first tool in the Makita line-up to get the brushless technology: Impact drivers are known for their torque but not for their finesse. With the electronic speed & power control that brushless motors allow, you can have buttons that reduce the torque instead of having to feather the trigger pressure(like you have to do on the BTD141). Even though it is $100 more than the BTD141, I would have probably sprung for the BTD144.

Regardless, the BTD141 has loads of potential torque and if you are not careful/skilled you can torque fasteners way beyond where they should be. I needed some practice with the trigger and doing short bursts to make a 3" screw flush with a wood surface. Getting the right pressure on the trigger as you are driving a screw does not come naturally.

The ergonomics on this, as with all Makita LXT tools, is superb. Very comfortable even after 2hrs. of continuous use.

It is loud, but it's supposed to be loud; it's an IMPACT driver.

You can use this driver with the smaller 1.5 amp Makita batteries without making any modifications. (See user picture above) Thus, it can virtually become the smaller, lighter BTD142HW.

The case that came with it from Amazon was very large and had space for a Makita hammer drill. This worked out for me since I got a free hammer drill (BHP454Z) through a mail-in rebate promotion when I bought this. The case might be too big for your liking if Amazon is still shipping it with this case.

"Good tool - but not for this price" 2009-10-01
By David Roundhill (Seattle, WA)
I recently bought the LXT211 kit from Home Depot for $225 ($75 off for tool purchase over $300). Home Depot's normal price for the LXT211. The LXT211 includes this tool and the BHP452 (18v hammer drill). It also includes 2 3.0Ah batteries. So the obvious question is where the heck does Amazon come by these prices? There's no way the original price is currently (possibly ever) as stated. Come on Amazon - this seems dishonest.

"Wickedly powerfull!" 2009-06-25
By Frank V. Caltabiano (Nor Cal)
I purchases this impact after using one of the 1.5v units on a job and loved it. this one being the 3v model is considerably more powerful. I took it out for a trial test and drove a 4" wood screw through a seasoned fence post, and the impact didn't even seem like it was working hard at all.

It's a well engineered tool and fits your hand like a glove. Much better than others I have had in the past. you can't go wrong with this kit. Mentioned it to a friend and bought one here also and is amazed at the power and versatility of it. You can't go wrong with this one!

"Makita Impact Driver" 2009-05-28
By Gene Vierra (Arroyo Grande, CA USA)
A great all around tool. It's nice to be able to change from a drill bit to a screw driver one handed. As a driver it makes easy work of driving 3-1/2" screws into 2x4's. It's lightweight but powerfull enough to get any job done. Another nice feature is that the batteries last longer than most other cordless drills and it charges quicker too.

"Product failed - warranty useless" 2009-05-13
By M. Gibson (Victoria, BC Canada)
Unit failed almost immediately, was unable to drive 3" wood screws into fir 2X4's. Returned to local Makita warranty center, took 5 months to repair. The center then lost all my warranty papers, bills of sale, etc., and now I have no warranty at all. Unit still doesn't work (doesn't appear any repairs were made), and now no warranty. A VERY expensive lesson.

"Decent, but definitely not the best out there" 2010-02-16
By Rob (California, USA)
Pros: (1) Got some power, (2) 18 volts lithium ion powered

Cons: (1) Not variable speed, (2) a bit heavy, (3) still relatively big compared to the competition

Overall, it looks to me like this impact wrench might be outdated compared with what's out there today. Most of today's cordless impacts are variable speed. You have MUCH better control with variable speed, especially when you are trying to put nuts back on. With this Makita wrench, soon as you hit the trigger, it goes full speed.

The wrench seems somewhat powerful, but I found a couple of (maybe frozen?) lugnuts this guy could not take off. It was on a '03 Corolla (I think using 21 mm nuts), which is not even close to a tank. I don't know if the car's lugnuts were put on by impact guns before at a shop, but I had no problems with any of the other lugnuts on that car.

My other gripe about this wrench is the size and weight. I did some specs comparisons of the latest cordless impacts out there today (i.e. Milwaukee 2663-22, IR W360P, and Craftsman c3 19.2 cordless impact wrench) and the Makita is the longest as well as heaviest of the bunch. When you read the Makita product description, they mention how the tool is compact and light. I'm guessing it's when comparing it to electric impact wrenches at the time the tool came out. Those electric impacts are much heavier and bigger. But now today's latest cordless impacts are more compact and lighter than this Makita. Check out the specs for the 3 other wrenches I had mentioned and see for yourself.

I actually got the Craftsman c3 19.2 impact wrench with the lithium ion batteries to try out and honestly, I like it much better than the Makita. It has variable speed, is smaller, lighter, much cheaper, and feels just as powerful as the Makita even though it only has a rating of 200 ft lbs of torque. I did some tests like tightening a lugnut to 150 ft lbs and trying both the Makita and Craftsman on it. Both wrenches zipped off the nut very easily. When removing a standard 80 ft lb torqued nut on my Honda Civic, it really seemed like the Craftsman zipped them off easier compared to the Makita. I don't know if they overstated the torque on the Makita or understated it on the Craftsman, but both wrenches seem just as powerful, however the Craftsman felt a bit stronger. Though that is just going by my observation and feeling, so there is no scientific facts or hard numbers to prove it. I don't know if this is because the Craftsman has a faster IPM (impacts per minute) compared with the Makita. Anyway, since I only need an impact gun for my cars at home (I'm never going to working on big machinery), the Craftsman seems plenty powerful enough for me.

I will say the Makita LXT series has good batteries and chargers so if you already have an investment in them, maybe you have no choice but to go with this tool if you need something with more torque. I ended up returning the tool because of the cons, but I'm hoping Makita is working on some next generation high torque cordless impact that will address all the shortfalls I mentioned. As of now, I am sticking with the Craftsman I bought.

"Makita LXT Impact Wrench" 2010-01-11
By R. Carnes (Palm Coast, FL USA)
I bought this to replace my Dewalt heavy duty impact wrench 18v XRP set. I got sick and tired of everytime I needed it - the batteries were dead. Right from the start I have been extremely impressed with this tool, the power is great, I have been working on vehicles and farm equipment for more then 40 years - I used this to remove the 2 1/2" blade holding nuts from a large bush hog - rusted and pacted with debris, it is hard to believe how fast and efficient this tool is. It is stronger then my previous air impact wrenches and much handier out in the field. Too bad I cannot give it more then 5 stars because it deserves it. With the 18v makita lithium ion batteries - it is always ready to go - even months after the last time it was charged.

"Impressive for a Cordless Tool" 2009-07-26
By WI DIY'r (Milwaukee, WI)
I've only used this a few times as I only received it a month or so ago, but so far I am impressed. It's not a light weight tool. In fact it seems to be built like a tank. But it is well balanced and fairly easy to use with one hand. It has plenty of torque, and the toggle power switch is easy to use, although it may take a little getting used to. I guarantee you will run it the reverse direction of what you want once or twice till you get used to it.
