I always been very happy with my very old Makita drill after 15 years of hard work my 9.6 volt 3/8 drive needed to be replace. My new Makita feels great and what a great drill I can tell this drill will last me for another 15 years or more.

I believe that a Makita tool is the best other than the Dewalt tools. I use this product with overall satisfaction. I use it to drill holes in 14 gauge steel plates without burn out. The battery running time is greater than I thought it would be in cordless tools. I inject a charged battery for every four hours of the construction job that I use it for. There is lots of drilling, and screwdriving screws into wooden frames. The screwdriver capcacity I do not need to charge the battery til every two days at a normal use. For those local union carpenters, this product is better than Dewalt corded or cordless. This is a great tool comes with two batteries, I am happy with the product and glad I purchased the product here at Amazon.

My husband has bought a few cheaper drills over the years only to have them break, malfunction, or sizzle-out after a short period of time. He wanted this drill for Christmas. Of course, all I could see at first was the price-tag. I'm happy to report, he's using this drill all the time and it works great, has not had one problem, and he has no buyers remorse (nor do I)! My brother-in-law built his home and this was the only drill he used throughout the project. You can imagine the use it had over the last 18 months and it is still going strong. I guess you get what you pay for. If you use cordless drills often and don't want to hassle with the $39 drills that break or quit working then this is the one for you. Keep in mind, these are the type of quality drills that contractors buy. We're happy with the purchase.
