This review is from: Makita DF030D 10.8-Volt Ultra Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless Driver-Drill Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

I work as an auto technician and I bought this drill/driver to use primarily for interior work. Its compact size and lightweight (compared with an 18 volt drill/driver) are just what I was looking for. Plus, it has power to spare for my needs. The batteries last quite a while per charge and I don't have to worry about trying to run them down all the way in order to recharge them. I am extremely happy with this drill!

This review is from: Makita DF030D 10.8-Volt Ultra Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless Driver-Drill Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've had this makita drill driver for a couple months and its done more than i ever expected. I originally got the tool to carry around with me to do minor maintenance. I've used it on almost everything i'v done except in those situations where a hammer drill or a high torque impact is required. Also, the little holster that comes in the individual case has been a perfect fit for my tool belt.

This review is from: Makita DF030D 10.8-Volt Ultra Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless Driver-Drill Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

ive had this drill for a while now and for what it is... it is wonderful.. no its not going to drill through 1" steel plate in a matter of seconds.. if you want a huge mega powerful tool obviously this is not the drill for you.. however for working in small spaces, drilling small holes and shooting small screws this drill is wonderful.. mine came with a holster which i felt retarded using so i carry mine in my hip pocket with no problems at all.. i haul this lil driver around all day long at work (commercial hvac) and it always does what i need it to.. yes its a 1/4 quick chuck.. it CLEARLY says that (first line in "Tool Specifications" - "Hex shank 1/4".. i guess if you cant tell that by looking at the drill or by reading the write up on it then maybe you should not be using duty power tools.. 1/4 drill bits are expensive and annoying however makita (as well as others) make a 1/4" adapter (Makita part number 763198.. homedepot/amazon) which allows you to use "standard" bits.. yes the addapter cost more however its well worth the money..
