Awesome power without sacrificing speed. Last a very long time per charge. Feels and looks very solid. It would be nice to have a keyless chuck but after owning a Dewalt with a keyless I know why it is not an option. The keyless chucks are larger and are difficult to tighten in a compact right angle drill configuration.

This Makita BDA 350 Right Angle Drill with the Lithium Ion Battery is just Dandy! I am pleased also with my overall transaction and prompt shipping. I would recommend this tool for those that require a cordless right angle drill due to it's nominal weight and High Torque capability. Need I mention that it has a wonderful LED light as well? I am impressed!
Thanx,

I would give this a five star if it had all the features I needed!
This came with a hard plastic case which I prefer and not the bag show on the picture.
I was debating to buy this Makita or the Dewalt but I had a Dewalt which failed on me because it had plastic parts, so I got this Makita which I had to sacrifice for the variable speed and keyless chuck. Here are the pros/cons with Makita.

Pros:
- compact
- light weight
- powerful

Cons:
- missing keyless chuck (I had to buy it seperate to add it on)
- missing variable speed (this would be nice to have)

I work in sheetmetal/plumbing industry and within the first week it was invaluable. Tight areas for putting in screws its perfect. Takes some getting use to the 3/8" chuck with key when I am so used to 1/2" keyless but the compact design it is understandable.
