Customer Reviews

Good tool, great value
I'm very happy with this drill. I'v owned three Dewalt's over the last five years and I was happy with them. I though I'd try this Makita to see if I can get more life out of the drill without sacraficing quality.

Excellent Choice
What I like:
- Very Powerful (drills in lath and plaster walls)
- light weigh
- A lot of torque settings (16)
- Extra Battery - must !
- Ultra-fast battery recharge (25 minutes)
- Not expensive (comparing to other Makita and Bosch drill drivers)

What I don't like:
- Nothing !

Summary:
I think that this tool is perfect !

Indispensable home tool
I bought this as a replacement for my seven year old 9.6 volt (or something like that) Makita drill. The only reason I replaced it was because after seven years of pretty steady household/basement refinishing/etc. use, the two rechargeable batteries finally died. The price of two batteries was nearly that of a drill upgrade (12 volt) with two batteries. The previous model was an incredibly reliable, versatile and indispensable home tool. I have great expectations for this one, too. So far it's great.
