When he’s not diving into the latest tools to arrive at the Pro Tool Reviews World Headquarters or building the latest buying guides, Kenny’s passions include his faith, his family, and the outdoors. Now more than 10 years into his role as the Managing Editor of Pro Tool Reviews, he has enjoyed seeing many of the greatest innovations in tool technology develop and launch, changing the way both Pros and DIYers work. No one could have known then what God in his providence would move him into as a career. Looking back, both family and friends were significant influences on Kenny’s knowledge and use of tools. He even rewired their bass boat for fun one weekend as a young teenager. From his dad, he was able to learn irrigation, landscaping, car maintenance, basic electrical, and more. In fact, Kenny still uses several pieces that his grandfather made more than 30 years ago.Īt home, Kenny’s dad made the family budget stretch further by doing many DIY repairs around the house. Building everything from bookshelves to lazy Susans, he became extremely accomplished while his young grandson observed, fascinated at the way raw wood could turn into something both beautiful and functional. His grandfather was an airplane mechanic in WW2 and took up woodworking as a hobby after retiring from the power industry. Kenny’s life around power tools started early. While that might not sound like a direct line into the power tool industry, his analytical and scientific mindset help him design repeatable testing methods for Pro Tool Reviews’ head-to-head testing and offer highly objective comparisons in his reviews.

I am personally excited about these tools because they allow me to stay on Makita’s 18V LXT battery and still get the benefits of the 12-volt class. I can easily recommend this Sub-Compact class from Makita to any Pro, whether you are supplementing heavy-duty cordless tools or just need a dedicated lightweight, compact drill and impact driver. Still, the 12-volt class will remain relevant for jobs and trades that don’t require moving up to a heavy-duty class. Even though designing tools like these to run on 18 volts or 12 volts might not make much of a price difference, 12-volt batteries will always be less expensive. There are several 12-volt tool lines available that deliver high enough performance to be legitimate on the job site for several trades. So does this spell the end for the 12-volt tool class? The lightweight and compact design are certainly there along with performance that exceeds most 12-volt tools. The Makita CX200RB 18V LXT Sub-Compact Combo Kit is the perfect – and right now, only – solution for the Pro who insists on carrying both heavy-duty and truly compact cordless tools every day without having to buy into a separate battery platform. Where I finally reached its capacity was using a Bosch Daredevil 1-inch threaded tip spade bit. Even though 350 inch-pounds of torque sounds relatively low, it had no trouble whatsoever with that 3/4-inch spade bit. 1/2-inch spade bits were also no issue, so I moved on to a 3/4-inch spade bit where even some of our best cordless drills start to slow down. Starting with some work in stacked plywood, the Makita 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Drill was able to handle drilling 1/4-inch holes with a standard twist bit with no issues whatsoever. I also had a fence-building project to work on that I took these to for some additional work. I tested the Makita CX200RB 18V LXT Sub-Compact Combo Kit in many of the same materials we typically test cordless drills and impact drivers. Makita CX200RB Sub-Compact Kit Performance Makita’s ergonomic handle design is also in play on both tools and makes for perhaps the best ergonomics of any 18-volt drill and impact driver. At the risk of overstating it, the lightweight and compact nature of the Makita 18V LXT Sub-Compact Combo Kit clearly enhances the ergonomics over other tools in the 18-volt class.
