I use this drill for those small jobs & hard to reach places and it is great.
For general home-repair use, these drills are great. They have a good bit of power for their size and the batteries are better than most of the competitors.
Its size and weight make this drill CONSIDERABLY more comfortable to use
This model is compact and light and have no defects from my point of view.
All I can say is that Makita still makes the best rechargeable tools. Be it for professional or lighter-duty home use, it's hard to go wrong with Makita.
Great product, and I recommend it to anyone interested in a cordless drill.
So 5 stars for these little drills. I certainly hope Makita keeps this line going.
This drill is a great buy for light to medium duty use. Has high RPM and high torque for a 9.6v drill.
This drill is exactly what I've been looking for...Years ago I had a Makita rechargeable, and I USED IT TO DEATH. This one is just as good. Tough, durable, and priced right.
I got this for my new house and all the small projects around moving and such. It is great. It always has the power I need and the charge lasts a long time.
It slices, it dices, it juliennes! No, really, it just turns, but it does it really well, with style, finesse, and chutzpah.
