Are these good tools to get started with?
I want to switch to the Makita cordless platform, and I’d like to start with a drill—since mine is on its last legs—an impact driver—since I’ve never tried one—and a reciprocating saw, since I have a couple of projects where a cordless reciprocating saw would come in handy. Plus a charger and two batteries (I’ll buy more in the future)
They’ll be for home use, but I’ll definitely be using them a lot.
Is this saw any good, or should I save the difference and go for the brushed model?
The impact driver is the cheaper one, but I’d rather buy a cheap one now and upgrade to a better one when this one breaks. Also, I’d prefer to buy the drill and driver separately because the only kit I’ve found that includes both tools has brushed motors, and I’d really like the drill to be brushless since that extra power makes a noticeable difference. Also the kit is slightly more expensive than buying everything separate.
I want to point out that where I live, all the local stores I’ve found that sell Makita tools are much more expensive, which is why I’m going with Amazon.
Finally, if you have any recommendations or comments, I’d love to hear them.
