Customer Reviews

Cabinet shop workhorse
I now have 3 of these drills for my cabinet shop business, the oldest I purchased over 10 years ago. One has a square driver, one a philips driver and one a countersinker and those bits just stay in the drills. They are light, compact and plenty strong enough almost all drilling/driver jobs and last forever. The batteries last about 5 years of hard use, and because you can get the whole kit for under a hundred bucks, I often just by another drill when the batteries get tired.

The lightness and compact size is really nice when reaching in cabinets for hardware installation. I have also used them when building houses for screwing on sheetrock and metal roofing. I'm just not victim of the trend for bigger and bigger drills--unless you go lithium, a 14- 18 volt drill is a drag to haul around all day..

In the shop, I use electric plug in drills for heavy duty drilling--like 1/2 holes or pocket screw drills. Eventually I will get a couple 18 volt makita lithium drills and retire the corded, but thats not a cheap upgrade to do.

So 5 stars for these little drills. I certainly hope Makita keeps this line going.

Good buy, great quality.
This drill is a great buy for light to medium duty use. Has high RPM and high torque for a 9.6v drill. It actually out performs my old 14.4v drill. Battery life is much better than expected also.

The Right One
This drill is exactly what I've been looking for. The higher-priced Craftsman models and those like it were a terrible disappointment. Batteries didn't last and replacements were expensive.
But Makita is a brand I trust. Years ago I had a Makita rechargeable, and I USED IT TO DEATH. This one is just as good. Tough, durable, and priced right.
