4.0 out of 5 stars Strong!, April 17, 2001

This review is from: Makita 6228DWAE 14.4 Volt 3/8-Inch Cordless Driver/Drill Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is really a rugged piece of equipment. I used this tool when helping a friend to build several dwelling units. He used this tool very roughly. He would just throw it on the floor, mud, or grass. One time he even accidently dropped from the top of the roof. Very strong tool for its power. My only complaint is its price. I have a 14.4 Porter Cable drill driver with hammer mode for about the same price. PC delivers 330 lbs. of torque/inch. which is much higher than this Makita's. But this is a tool built to last. Battery charger and the batteries also will last many years. For performance and durability I would have given five stars but because of the price I am giving it only 4.

This review is from: Makita 6228DWAE 14.4 Volt 3/8-Inch Cordless Driver/Drill Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased this drill about three years ago. It works flawlessly, never having given me a single reason to complain. It has the power to do any job around the house and offers a good balance and overall weight.

The only issue I would have is the price of Makita replacement batteries (...)

I've owned numerous cordless drills in my 20 years as a construction worker. Day in and day out, makita is definitely the best. The 6228 offers the best weight/performance & durability combination of any cordless out there!
