After a couple of bad experiences with Lith Ion ( rigid ) I went back to the tried and true Ni Cad.On my work truck I have a 14.4 dewalt and the thing sits there in the cold Iowa winters and it still works a long time between charges, and while working on a large job with serveral trades working I noticed the guys working mostly with the smaller voltage Ni Cads and did a little survey and found for 90% of the work thats all you really need and light weight with long run times and cheaper battery replacement costs it just fits. The Makita is replacing a 18v rigid that even when new never worked when it was cold. Makita tools are well made and carried by most of the big box stores. I'm happy with the price and most likley wont need to shop for a new one for several years.

I've had my Makita 14.4 for 15 years and it's still going strong even after multiple drops from ladders etc. I've finsihed 2 basements, put metal roofs on barns, built multiple decks and the thing just keeps running. The batteries are still the original ones although they don't last as long as the used to. But they still work great! I'd never buy anything but Makita!

This is a great 3/8" cordless drill. I had already owned this Makita drill model so I liked it so much I purchased one for my son. He's really happy to have a new one, and I'm really happy to get MY drill back!
