4.0 out of 5 stars High Torque, Nimble, Great Control, November 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Makita 6222DWLE 9.6 Volt Drill Kit with Two Batteries and Flashlight (Tools & Home Improvement)

This changed my mind about wanting a cordless drill. It has got all the torque of many larger corded drills. Battery capacity is good and the speed control is outstanding!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Quality, but still NiCad, December 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Makita 6222DWLE 9.6 Volt Drill Kit with Two Batteries and Flashlight (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased this Drill/Flashlight combo and have been very pleased with its performance. The drill doesn't spin as fast as a corded drill, but the quality is unsurpassed. Makita really delivers on making an easy-to-use, top-notch product.

The downside is that this drill still uses NiCad batteries which suffer from the "memory effect." To combat this, make sure that batteries are always stored uncharged. Also make sure that a battery is completely used up before you recharge it.

This drill is lightweight but provides solid power. The compact design and slim profile allow the drill to get into fairly tight places. The handle has a very good ergonomic feel to it and the forward/reverse switch is easy to use (for right-handers) with the flip of the thumb.
