"If you got skill you need SKIL Cordless Drill/Driver" 2010-01-24
By J. Cortez (Long Island, NY)
This cordless driver is just another great product made by Skil Lithium ion powered cordless drill technology! If you are a person with great propensity to do some skills at your garage, home or even work - you got to have this tiny incy wincy yet powerful and portable device that can unscrew your day out of this stubborn world of nuts, bolts and all fasteners alike. It's powered by Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery that can hold a charge for a very long time unlike the NiCd old- fashioned rechargeable weak batteries. This tool is perfectly balanced in weight distribution and the torque is suited just for its purpose. Again, like I have said in my review for the Skil Cordless Ratchet, as a busy Auto Service Mechanic, I use this daily in my job to loosen screws even at tight spaces and it comes with different screw driver bits. I like it because it holds a charge longer than the time to remove all the screws a car may have. It has a power indicator that tells you when to recharge it and charging is fast and it has control against over-charging and you don't have to empty the power before charging unlike NiCd batteries.

If you got the skill you need this SKIL Cordless Drill/Driver! Skil is a great brand because they make a greater product than their name!

"Bad design" 2009-12-06
By Guy J. Amato (Rochester, NY)
The drill stalls out at low or high loads. You just can't get the drill running or keep it running. The board designed to protect the drill will not let it run as needed. I tried 2 of the drills and sent them both back. If Skil fixes this problem I think the drill would be a nice tool. 80 in/lb of torque for a 7.2 V tool is plenty. The li-ion battery is the only way to go today

"Handy Lightweight Tool- Recommended" 2009-11-29
By CFH (Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA)
The "Skil 2362 Drill\Driver" is a handy cordless tool for small jobs around the house, but is woefully under powered for use on "big" jobs. That being said, the small size and fast charging makes this the right tool in many cases for me.

The body is fairly light and can easily controlled with one hand. The controls include forward and reveres, adjustable torque (Drill and Driver settings), and variable speed based on the trigger pressure. The set includes 4 drill bits and 6 driver bits (all on 1/4" hex shafts), which is just right for most home odd jobs. The charger does perform as listed, bringing the tool up to full power in about 3 hours or so.

We used this to install 6 sliding cabinet drawers, a process that took 28 holes and screws. It worked fine to drill the holes and drive the smaller screws, but strained a little on driving the longer\thicker screws in hardwood.

Recommended for the price and convenience when used on small jobs.

"Still going strong after around two years" 2010-05-29
By John S. Dean (Sturtevant, WI United States)
Got this as soon as it came out at a local brick and mortar, so may even be more than two years old now, don't remember exactly when I got it.

Battery still is strong and holds a charge, so I"m luckier than some of the other reviewers who talked about having battery concerns.

Others have mentioned how it has problems feeding things too thick, but for me that's not an issue since I use it exclusively for cardboard boxes. Everything I get is purchased almost exclusively online, so the Fed Ex and UPS guys are here all the time. I end up with way too many cardboard boxes to break down, as our recycling pickup requires everything in 2x2 pieces. So I got this to help that task, and it sure did.

Much better than using a razor cutter as I had been, and the way it protrudes makes it work great at the edges of the boxes to cut each side away.

The button locations were not a problem for me at all, feels just fine. It's comfortable to hold for a while and shaped well to fit into the hand, and gives you a great grip to push it through the cardboard.

I like that the light changes color so you can see when it needs charging, as well as can see when the charging is complete. It's nice to be able to just turn it on for a sec to verify that it has a charge before I go to use it.

It's also nice that it works at a good speed just about to the very end of battery life. It doesn't just slow down and become useless, it keeps working right up to the end.

For someone like me who gets a ton of cardboard in the mail, it's an absolute requirement.

"not a heavy duty cutter" 2010-03-06
By Patrick Flynn (Boston, MA USA)
I'm sure this is fine to cut cardboard, however it is not a good idea to buy this for anything more than small projects. I tried to cut vinyl tile with this and it chokes up every few seconds, causing me to go back to using a normal razor blade for better accuracy.

"A Must Have for Cardboard boxes" 2010-02-16
By E. Tanner
Skil 2352-01 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion Multi-Cutter. Note that I only have used this item for breaking down boxes from our business shipments. I was tired of cutting down boxes using a standard box-cutter blade, for flat packing.

For single-wall cartons, this cutter slices through the box folds/creases with ease, like pushing an self-powered lawnmower.

For single-wall cartons, cuts not-along the box folds, are still a breeze, with minimal effort.

Double-wall shipping cartons require a tad bit more effort to push the cutter, but nothing worth complaining about for a battery powered hand-cutter.

I have yet to find a battery-powered cutter that performs better then this model. I cut a few hundred boxes a week, about 20" cubed or larger, and have no complaints. With 30 minute box cutting sessions per day, I only have to recharge this cutter at the end of each week. The power indicator turns red, when you need a charge, just like a beard shaver.

Definately recommended for breaking down single or doublewall shipping cartons.

"great tools......terrible packaging" 2010-09-03
By viper
These tools are some of the nicest 18 Volt cordless tools that I have ever seen. The weight is pefect. Dewalt should take a few lessons from Makita. The value in this 7- piece kit is spot on. Home Depot gets $379.00 plus tax for the impact driver and drill alone......You get all of this for $629.00 and two day free shipping if you are prime, that is a deal in my opinion. As far as the packaging is concerned it was the worst I have ever received without the items being damaged. For starters the box looks like it was left out in the rain.....Not good when you are buying power tools. That being said it appears that everything in the box was dry. Also the box had been opened and retaped up with tape that read Makita. All I know is I was sold NEW tools not Re-furbished and I better not find out any different. Other than that I loved doing business with Amazon. This was my first purchase and I was really pleased with everything from inital purchase, to tracking, to on-time-delivery.

"very useful tool set." 2010-09-01
By petes
I do-it-myself now and feel like a professional doing it. I ordered one at work for the facility maintenance department who are making good use of it and have weekly loan requests, the mechanical department eventually bought their own - the 12-piece set. I particularly like the jobsite radio.

"Worth Every Cent!" 2010-08-02
By M. Butler
I bought this set in January 2010 and use at least one tool every week. I am very satisfied with the quality of these tools and highly recommend them to anyone that needs to get any work done around the house.

The Batteries - The batteries last a long time between recharges and charge very quickly.

The Drill - Small, lightweight, and powerful. I also have the larger BHP454 but like the one that comes with this set much better because it's smaller size and lower weight make it much easier to handle.

Impact Driver - I have only used it once or twice - but since it is compact it probably would be good in tight spaces. The drill has a hammer setting so I usually just use it instead.

Circular Saw - Fairly average. Works about the same as others I have used.

Reciprocating Saw - This tool is great. I use it all the time to cut up branches. I'm not sure how I lived without one of these in the past. It can also cut metal, but I find the Angle Grinder works better for that.

Angle Grinder - Probably the best tool in the set. How I managed to live my entire life without one before I'll never know. It is great for cutting through metal and if you buy a sanding attachment for $10 it will sand quicker than almost anything else I have used. I love this tool.

Radio - The radio has an input jack for an IPod. It isn't really loud outside, but works pretty well indoors. I didn't really think I would use it much, but I actually use it fairly often.

Flashlight - Makita probably just throws it in to make the set seem larger (7 pieces not 6). The first week I got the set I dropped it and the bulb broke. They should replace this light with a Cree LED light instead. Not a very good flashlight - but really, who cares about that...

The bag looks really nice - but I don't use it at all - so no comment on that.

"Batteries do not last" 2010-09-12

"Great hammer drill..." 2010-08-31
By FRANK MIFFLIN
I've been renovating my house using this 3 piece set and have been so pleased with it's power and convenience. Battery lasts long, battery charges quickly, and both drills are just so comfortable to use. Having a LED light go on every time you use it is just fantastic to. I would never go back to what I had before. The only problem is; the flashlight didn't work when I got it, and after 3 months of using this one of the batteries just don't work. I'm now working off of one battery that sometimes won't charge, I have to keep an eye on it and keep putting it back on the charger for a full charge. Again, great product, I just think I got a bad set. The only problem with returning this is that; it's not taking it back to a store, you have to ship it out to Makita (Amazon's 30 day warranty is up) and wait for it to be fixed (however long that will take). In the meantime I have no a incomplete set. I recommend the product to anyone, from a homeowner to a contractor! I'm giving it 3 stars because of the inconvenience of returning broken goods....other than that I would given it the highest rating!!!!!!!

"Good drill, terrible batteries, ridiculous case" 2010-08-30
By Tim Moran (Cleveland, Ohio)
Drill works well. It's light, powerful, better than average. Batteries are terrible. Had the drill two years went through four 1.5 batteries. Drill finally died (after I bought a $100 3.0 mAh battery) so I bought the stand alone model just to replace the ridiculous fabric box case that came with this set. Good drill, not perfect but better than most everything out there. Why are batteries so expensive?!

"Great tools - better than I had expected" 2010-08-14
By R. Smith
Originally looking to go with a Rigid or Dewalt but this combo looked like a better deal and spoke with some people who said Makita's lithium-ion tools were more reliable. Tried this out and have been thoroughly impressed. I love the impact driver. I've always just used a drill or drill/driver and there's a huge difference when putting in screws. Would definitely buy again. The batteries charge very quickly, are very light and last a long time (more a result of lith-ion than anything specific to Makita). While I'd recommend this set to any homeowner or light contractor I'd also suggest lith-ion regardless of what brand you end up with.

"Best little drill I own" 2010-07-08
By Price searcher
I have had one of these for about 2-3 years. I also have a 9.6 volt, a 12 volt and a couple of 18 volt drill motors. Whenever the job is a quick one and doesn't need 18 volts this is the one I get out. The charge lasts for about 1-1/2 years without a recharge. It has all the power needed for drilling and driving screws around the house. All in all I have to say this is my favorite drill/driver. I would strongly recommend it to anyone.
