 Makita Drill June 21, 2008
J. CHESTER (NC USA)
As an owner of a small business, I am always looking for the best tools. Makita tools have never let me down over the past 10 years of business. This drill is no different. The balance and weight are proportional to reduce fatigue while drilling. Using the keyless chuck requires little hand torque to secure the bit, one of the best chucks I have ever used. These batteries provide the power for both drills that I use and a flashlight with power to spare. Recently, while building a deck using 3" deck and lag screws, I had to charge every 2-3 hours while rotating to another battery. I couldn't have asked for any better performance. GREAT TOOL!
 Expensive Tool - Poor Quality May 22, 2008

On delivery I checked the tool for run out at the chuck and found that it wobbled. I made the check based on another review. It could be due to a defective chuck or gear box output shaft run out. The tool is well featured and those features are easy to use. All that though is background noise if the tool can't perform the basic functions of drilling a round hole or driving a screw straight. Those functions cannot be performed with a chuck that wobbles for whatever reason.
 "A drill for all hands?" May 14, 2008
Pounding Father (Menomonie, WI.)
I purchased this drill kit well over two years ago and have used it frequently. In all basic functions, it has performed quite nicely amd with no malfunctions. The batteries have exhibited a long run time and give the drill enough power to drill holes and drive screws without complaint. Recharging has been trouble free and after the passage of time, the batteries still appear "fresh" in usage.
My complaint? I wish Makita would have thought a bit more about the basic shape of the batteries. If an individual attempting to remove the battery has a fairly large hand and a good grip, removal is not going to be difficult. However, if your hands are smaller and you perhaps suffer from a bit of arthritis, you will in all probablity have trouble getting your thumb and fingers around the wide battery casing and then be able to apply enough inward pressure to depress the built in tabs and pull downward releasing the battery from the drill.
Other than this and a "one size fits all" case which is large enough to contain the drill, charger, extra battery with enough space left to include several atticles of clothing should you want to use it as an overnight piece of luggage, it is indeed a quaility tool. I would however, recommend to those who suffer from the limitations mentioned to consider this drill kit only it you can actually see and handle it first to make certain that you can perform the battery removal procedure without difficulty.

Ordered the drill and received about a week later. In brand new condition. This was all after I had attempted to purchase just one battery for 93.50 at a local Lowe's store and would have taken about 2 weeks to get.
Have charged up both batteries and used the new drill motor to make sure everything works. Everything works as advertised!!

Very nice, high quality December 18, 2007
Bhakti-rider (Campbell, CA USA)
This is the second cordless drill I've owned, and it's very impressive. I particularly like that it slows down immediately upon releasing the trigger and that it sits upright on its battery pack base. I was aware before I bought it that Makita is one of the top brands of power tools, and I can see why - first class all the way (although I would prefer for it to be held securely in place in the case). I would recommend it with no reservations.
