4.0 out of 5 stars powerful, lightweight, used..., September 7, 2008

This review is from: Factory-Reconditioned Makita BDF452HW 18-Volt Compact Lithium Ion Driver Drill Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

blows away the hefty 12 Volt NiCad Dewalt i replaced it with (after 2 years both batteries had stopped holding a charge on the Dewalt). i removed 2 large screws from a wall stud that the dewalt had struggled to insert. the makita zipped them both right out like they were screwed into drywall only. the batteries charge quickly.

one note, this is "reconditioned" but i expected that to mean it would be slightly used if at all but would be cleaned to like-new condition. not so! this thing was like it had just come off of a jobsite it had worked at for the past month. dirty, with light scratches all over.

it is still, such a quality drill with awesome features (keyless chuck is perfectly designed), is very compact and lightweight for a 18V powerhouse drill that i don't mind how used it is. i know it will last for years with the lithium ion batteries.

4.0 out of 5 stars Co-workers Love This Drill!, May 25, 2008

This drill is one of a kind. Amazingly lightweight but still powerful, just like a good race car. Makita has been my favorite brand of drill and remains it after taking this latest drill for a test drive. My co-workers are in love with it also. I am an office furniture installer in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and use this drill at work. When we go on jobs together I find my co-workers using my drill often if im not using it.

The first unit I received was NOT factory reconditioned. It had mud impacted in the unit. One of the batteries was broken and wouldn't fit the charger. The second unit was much improved and performing nicely.
