a great little drill
As a furniture builder I really don't have the need for the big and powerful drills except for a few occasions. This little drill is just the thing for the medium to light duty drilling that I need to do.
there are just a few things that I want to mention that may help others. First the size is just right. It is light weight and short. Easy to get into small...

Disappointed
I liked this drill it's light and very comfortable to use but was very disappointed with the battery life. I was replacing the floor boards and hand rails on my pressure treated deck and figured this would work but it wouldn't do more than about 20 to 30 screws before needing to be recharged. Also the batteries ran hot which is to be expected I guess so I had to wait for...

a great little drill, December 20, 2009
This review is from: Makita DF330DW 10.8-Volt Ultra Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 3/8-Inch Driver-Drill Kit (Tools & Hardware)
As a furniture builder I really don't have the need for the big and powerful drills except for a few occasions. This little drill is just the thing for the medium to light duty drilling that I need to do.
there are just a few things that I want to mention that may help others. First the size is just right. It is light weight and short. Easy to get into small places. The lithium batteries hold a charge for a long time and give the drill plenty of power. I have not had the problem with the time it takes to recharge the batteries. Once charged, they last long time. Second the direction switch is out of the way yet close enough that you don't have to search for it. I had a milwaukee 12v screwdriver and the swithc was always in the way. Either it was mid setting which locked the trigger or it was set at the wrong direction. It was very frustrating. Third the grip gives you good control and does not get tiresome with extended use. And last, the LED light is a great help when working inside a cabinet where there is little light to see.
I have the screwdriver also and like that just as well. Don't let the 10.8 vs 12 volt label fool you. With either of these tools you get you will get just as much run time as the 12volts.

Compact, lightweight, January 10, 2010
This review is from: Makita DF330DW 10.8-Volt Ultra Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 3/8-Inch Driver-Drill Kit (Tools & Hardware)
For a 2-pound flyweight drill, it's got very satisfactory power. The batteries drive plenty of screws per charge, and recharge faster than I can use them up. If you need arm-breaking power for big holesaws and stuff, this may not be your ideal pick, but if you need something compact that won't wear your arm out when working overhead or at arm's length, it's pretty good. The automatic LED "headlight" comes on when the trigger is pulled, and stays on briefly afterwards, which I found useful when trying to line stuff up under a stairway.
One nitpick: the battery-disengagement tabs are a little stiff, so it might be a nuisance if you have arthritic hands.

Wow...love this little drill!, May 19, 2010

Just hung 22 blinds in my new home using this great drill...lots of power, easy to use and the battery just kept going and going! I recommend this product highly, and my only regret is that I never bought one sooner.

Best hand held drills on the market!!!!!, April 9, 2010
This review is from: Makita DF330DW 10.8-Volt Ultra Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 3/8-Inch Driver-Drill Kit (Tools & Hardware)
Makita has done it again. These 10.8 volt drills and drivers ,I own all of the 10.8 and they are the best for any job. I also own most of the 18 volt. But I cant seem to put the little guys down. They fit perfect in your hands and no fatigue for all day use.You wont be sorry they hold a long charge to.

This is a great little tool to get. Its light, fits in your hand comfortably and has enough power to do most of what you'd need a drill of this size to do!

Great compact cordless drill, February 12, 2010
This review is from: Makita DF330DW 10.8-Volt Ultra Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 3/8-Inch Driver-Drill Kit (Tools & Hardware)
Bought two of these for my grown children's tool kits. Both are thrilled at the light weight, power, and quick charging capacity. Worked with one of the units and it seems even better than the Makita cordless that I've owned for several years. A professional custom furniture maker told me years ago that spending the extra bucks for a Makita was money well spent. I think that's true.

Best small drill ever, December 21, 2009
This review is from: Makita DF330DW 10.8-Volt Ultra Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 3/8-Inch Driver-Drill Kit (Tools & Hardware)
I love this Makita drill. Very easy to handle, very light, very powerfull and quick. Batteries are great and don't require a 4 hour charge before every use. Built in light is very helpful.

A 10 Star Product!, November 7, 2009
This review is from: Makita DF330DW 10.8-Volt Ultra Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 3/8-Inch Driver-Drill Kit (Tools & Hardware)
Do yourself a favor and buy this driver! You will not regret it. It is so much better than the much talked about Bosch driver.
This little Makita driver has lots of power and is very comfortable.

Great tool, July 3, 2010
This review is from: Makita DF330DW 10.8-Volt Ultra Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 3/8-Inch Driver-Drill Kit (Tools & Hardware)
Powerful, yet extremely light weight. Two batteries that charge in half an hour or less means you never run out of power even on an extended job.

Makita DF330DW 10.8V LI cordless 3/8" Drill, May 29, 2010
This review is from: Makita DF330DW 10.8-Volt Ultra Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 3/8-Inch Driver-Drill Kit (Tools & Hardware)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0023NVS4O/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title
I do love this little power house drill. I have owned several cheap wal-mart specials and they have always provided me with what I paid for. The reason I decided to purchase the Makita is simple. I recently had a new metal roof installed and the contractor was using this little drill. He installed every screw on the roof with two full charged batteries. I didn't count the screws but it was a bunch. What is so nice is the fast recharge of the lithium ion batterys, the kit comes with two. I could have bought another black & Decker or similiar, I am glad i chose this one.
