By James A. Redferin (Middle Tennessee)
I bought this battery for a Rigid jigsaw purchased without a battery provided on clearance from a local chain store. Why did I do that? I needed a jigsaw, it was cheap and I was able to use my 14.4v batteries; plus even having to buy the battery separate, the total cost was still cheaper than buying both together. I've noticed marked improvement in both power and longetivity, which is to be expected.



Rigid makes solid (both performance and physical product)tools and this battery is no exception. My only complaint would be the weight, but if you're using Rigid products you probably don't care too much about that since they build tools like tanks. This battery gives me the power I need and a quick 30 minute charge when drained.

 "A week after I bought this, something better arrives" 2010-08-11
By John (Albuquerque, NM)
The BTD141 is a 2008 update/improved version of the BTD140: 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.) Not much difference from the older model, but I felt good about having the latest model when I bought this in the last week of May 2009.



A week after I bought this, Makita releases the evolutionary Bare-Tool Makita BTD144Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Impact Driver (Tool Only, No Battery) with brushless motor on the US market. 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 digital electronic control that brushless motors allow, you can have buttons that reduce the speed and torque instead of having to feather the trigger pressure(like you have to do on the BTD141). Even though it is $75 - $100 more than the BTD141, I would have probably sprung for the BTD144. Regardless, what's done is done.



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, especially if you've only used a drill as a driver.



The ergonomics on this, as with all Makita LXT tools, is superb. Very comfortable and balanced with "grippy" molded rubber in all the right places.



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.

 "Favorite Tool" 2010-07-11
By Daltex (Dallas, TX)
If you drive screws and/or bolts with any frequency then you have to get this tool. I use it with the small battery and it feels like it weights 1/2 of the weight of a drill. Drives 3 and 4" screws all day and doesn't tire out your wrist. I already had the drill set so just bought the bare tool and couldn't be happier.



Price on this thing is all over the board and I bought it here on Amazon for quite a bit less than I found on ebay after weeks of looking. Price does change so when it dropped I jumped on it. Now that I have it I should have just bought it as it's truely my favorite tool.



I recommend getting a 6" #2 phillips head bit, 3/8" socket adapter and small 1.5 battery if you don't have these. I also use nut driver bits alot.

This tool came in boxed and in new condition as described, sooner than expected. It works like a charm! My first project was to drive 3.5" wood screws to do some framing work on my house. This tool had no trouble at all!! I used it with the battery pack I already had (bought the tool only, w/no batteries). It is so powerful, on my 2nd project, it actually shattered 2 of my P2 drive bits, so watch for that (and always wear safety glasses).

 "nice enough, but torque does not meet specs" 2010-04-29
By Just_Me (New Jersey, USA)
I love my mate to this, the 18V Li-ion hammer drill/driver.



i bought this tool (bare), with its rated 1330 (111 lb-ft) in-lbs of torque, to easily perform a bunch of automotive functions, primarily removing and re-installing lugs nuts quickly. The 3 cars i have have nut specs of 86, 88 and 92 lb-ft - all well under its capability.



It wont break them loose - at least not in any reasonable length of time. So my conclusion is, it does not meet specs. I did call Makita and the vendor, but to no avail. So my only recourse is to warn others. Its at best marginal.

 "Nice Improvement" 2010-08-09
By DanPro
I have recently used the new batteries and without a doubt see the improvement in performance. I use them mostly with my cordless drill and just like others have mentioned the batteries and charger do not fit in the drills case. I modified my plastic case by cutting the battery area a little larger and can now fit both batteries in the case(no battery on drill). I store the charger separately. I retired my new Hatchet saw because it never had enough power with the 18v nicads. I tried the new batteries on the Hatchet and the tool is brought back to life. The lights on the battery to show charge level is nice and functions well. I may purchase more of these if I catch them on sale. Four stars only because they don't fit in the case.

 "Great Product" 2010-07-26
By JKJ
Bought one of these through Amazon (refurbished), and have had it for several months. It does exactly what it's supposed to do, and does it very well. It is great for blowing off the patio and driveway, and getting rid of leaves that find their way into the garage. Some reviewers have commented that two batteries are needed or desirable for this product; I have found that not to be true, even though the one I bought came with two batteries. When one is low, I just recharge it, and keep on going. Definitely a product I would recommend for light duty blowing.

It's lightweight, turns on with just a flip of a switch, has sufficient blow power and the charge lasts about 10 minutes, which is just enough time to blow off our driveway, walkway and sidewalks of our shaded, corner lot. I absolutely love it!

 "great for the wood worker!!!" 2010-07-06
By S. Schisler
I'm a hobbiest woodworker. After a few hours in the shop, planing, jointing, cutting, routing and sanding; dust is everywhere and on everything. I do what I can with dust collection efforts but because my workshop doubles as a garage and at the end of the day I have to be able to pull a car in, I don't have the room for a dedicated dust collection system. In the past I had resigned myself to wipping down everything in the garage at the end of the day, then sweeping everything into one area and finishing with the shop vac. Needless to say this is time consuming and not something I look forward to doing. Those days are a thing of the past. I bought this blower at my local lowes store. Setup was a breeze. slide on two nozzle pieces, slide in the battery and your up and running. The item is light weight and quiet. Does not require hearing protection. I put away my tools and then break out this machine. Now, instead of wipping down everything in the shop I just run the blower over them. The stream of air is strong enough to move small pieces of scrap wood out of the garage and into one spot so I don't have to bend over a dozen times from one side of the shop to the other. Sawdust can be blown right out into the yard for good composting. What took me close to an hour to do with a broom and shop vac now takes about 5 minutes with this blower. Also this unit will operate with any of the 18 volt batteries from B&D so I just use whatever juice is left in the batteries I was working with for that day. This blower will eat some battery power pretty quick thou. The air stream starts to get pretty weak if you go longer than 10 to 15 minutes on a fresh battery. So if your in a situation like me where you don't need cat 5 hurricane force winds to do your job and your job doesn't require a lot of time, then this blower is perfect. Anything that allows me another 45 minutes of woodworking time instead of cleaning time gets 5 stars from me.

 "Average performance and features overall" 2010-03-17
By Bryan Sanders (Chicago)
The Makita BHP452 is a not a good choice for light duty work where a lighter drill will work as well and it is not a good choice for heavy duty applications where its 2-speed gearbox and lack of torque greatly restrict its overall performance. If I was comparing it to an old NiCad drill its performance would seem almost magical but compared to other high end 18 volt lithium-ion cordless drills it performance puts it in the middle of the pack.



Makita makes one model with 3-speed gearbox but I have not been able to find one for sale. I spoke with a Makita rep and was told that they had too many problems with people using the high speed setting for large hole saws and burning up the drills. Seems like the Makita folks should put in some instructions on the best way to use the drill and help everyone out. Most people try to use a cordless drill the same way and with the same hole saws that they have been using on their cord drills and then wonder why they have problems. For now I have been very satisfied with the performance of our DeWalt cordless drills with their 3-speed gear boxes. It is a trial and error process to find the best power range and speed for different hole cutters and materials but it is well worth the effort.



DEWALT DCD970KL 18-Volt 1/2-Inch XRP Lithium-Ion Hammerdrill



The chuck is not bad but does loosen up with vibration which is not unusual but a pain when it happens midway through hole cutting. If the drill falls out and you are up on a ladder it is even more disconcerting. The clutch adjustment works as well as any drill and the case is a standard Makita so the charger has its own secure spot but the full size batteries do not fit in the spaces unless the white plastic protective covers are removed. Have other Makita drills and the batteries do fit in the case so it seems to be something peculiar to the BHP452 kit.



The charger has a loud fan that is supposed to prolong battery life. Which is one of the odd aspects of the whole lithium-ion quick charge marketing hype. In general with NiCad and NiMh batteries their life is greatly decreased in terms of the number of charge cycles possible and the emphasis on how fast a lithium-ion battery can be recharged seems likely to result in more problems with what are very expensive batteries.



Charge time is in theory about 30 minutes for the full size lithium-ion batteries but in the charger manual it states that after charging the battery one should leave the battery in the charger for another 30-60 minutes to cool down. Better than the NiMh batteries where the recommendation is to let the battery continue to trickle charge for an additional 24 hours.



The full size batteries provide a lot of drilling and even the half size ones are better than others I have used. The full size batteries are needed to get the full power rating out of the drill. With 1/2 size batteries the drill power on any drill is greatly reduced and drilling deck screws or using a hole saw can drain the battery in a few minutes.



When I want to know the relative power a drill can deliver the quickest and easiest way I have found is to take a 5-6 inch hole cutter and bore a hole in MDF and see how long it takes to cut and how long it takes to recharge the drill afterward. With the half size battery and a 450 inch pound rated drill I can barely cut one hole and it takes several minutes. Toward the end of the hole cutting the drill will start to chatter as the overload protection kicks in and cuts power repeatedly to the drill motor. Using a 600+ in. lb. drill I can cut the same hole in 20 seconds and cut a dozen holes with the full size battery. The medium duty drill is not going to last out the year if used on heavy duty drilling or driving jobs. Better to save time on the job and money in the long run by getting the highest powered 18v drill you can find.



The lack of a second handle also limits the use of the drill to light to medium duty use. Without the second handle I find myself using my hand on the back of the drill to steady it and in doing so I block the air ports that enable the fan to cool the motor. This is a problem with all drills lacking a side handle in situations where two hands are needed and it is unfortunate that side handles are not something you can add to a drill kit later. All the low to medium grade drills are designed in a way that there is no way to attach a side handle should you want to do so later.



All 18 volt drills should have 3 speed gear boxes and a way to attach a side handle. Otherwise you might as well get a 12 volt drill and use a much cheaper 3/8" corded drill for the heavy lifting. I was on a job where a membrane roof was being laid down along with all the joint seals and edge trim and the workers were using several 3/8" corded drills and working around the extension cords. It seemed odd at the time but now I realize they were making the best drill choice for their needs based on the available technology at the time. After all a DeWalt 7 amp 3/8" cordless drill sells for $59 and it will outperform almost all the cordless drills on the market and the cordless sells for 3-4 times as much and requires more care in its use. For the DIY homeowner wanting to save money and get a light duty 18v cordless drill will extend its life by using a 3/8" corded drill for the tough jobs and save the cordless for the light duty drilling and driving jobs around the house.



The choice of drills is the one factor that most affects drill performance. Bi-metal hole saws are unbelievably cheap to manufacturer and OK for light duty hole cutting in mild steel but for other materials and especially for wood and composites like particle board it is a drill killer. Using one of the modern big gullet hole cutters like the Milwaukee Big Hawg or the Blue Boar TCT hole cutters will make it possible to easily drill holes that are three times as large and to cut 3" holes in OSB or Hardie siding in seconds without putting a dent in the battery's charge. Same applies to the new Bosch paddle bits for wood.



BLUE BOAR TSF12 12 Piece High Performance Tungsten Carbide Hole Saw kit - 2-1/4" Cut Depth. Cut 10x as fast and using 1/40th the battery power. Cordless Drills cut holes 3x as large versus bi-metal hole saws. Deep side gullets for fast plug removal



For cutting through fiberglass or drywall or plaster or stucco or building brick the Blue Boar TCT Stucco hole cutters are fantastic. With stucco or brick siding they cut through the masonry and keep on going through the metal mesh and the plywood underneath all with the same bit. I save about 45 minutes per hole compared to line drilling the stucco, cutting the wire, and then using a hole saw on the plywood or OSB.
