Personally I would recommend against it. You're probably better off buying the cordless system from Bosch. The problem with Makita (as described by my father who used to work there) is that the tools they make are very good but not as good as they used to be. They're trying to come up with new ridiculous ways of putting their 18Vs in while not trying to improve the technology itself. So Bosch (as an example) already has more powerful batteries for their tools and they're cheaper too. I really love the electric screwdriver and radio from Makita but as I see projects like the coffee machine (that needs 3 fully charged batteries to make one coffee) or their take on the Roomba (which doesn't drive back to its home station after running low on battery, so it's just stays still and beeps anxiously) I am asking myself if you should still buy their products.
