I have owned just about every brand of cordless drill since they started making them. My first was the old 9.6 Makita, it lasted for years until it was stolen . Since then I've had B&D 9.6 which was good, Panasonic 12v, but it couldn't handle everyday on the job abuse. I've had Craftsmen[ didn't last a year]. I've used De Walts and had co-workers tell me how dissapointed they were with them. I thought I finally got the TOOL!when I bought a Bosch 14.4, but I dropped it from about 4' and the housing and battery broke. I had seen and held one of these Makita 18's at my local home center, and thoght it felt rally solid. But the 249.00 price always made me shy. So I waited for the price to go down, it never did. I wonderd why, so I checked out all the specs. Metal Housing,2.0 amp hour rating, replacible brushings[ the only cordless tool with feature],plus the balnce and overall feel and quality. So when I saw this tool fact. reconditioned for 179.00 I bought one. Well I,ll tell ya this baby may as well be brand spankin' new and I couldnt be happier. If it's anything like my first Makita I'll be using it until some lowlife steals it.

Good torque, balanced and easy to handle. The bits stay tight and won't slip. This is a great tool. I would highly recommend it.
