Solid driver action and long lasting battery. Charger is high quality with a built in cooling fan
As far as the drill operation itself. It is almost perfect. Some have complained about the speed switch getting stuck at the top which has happened to me maybe 4 times in two months of daily use. Who cares.
The speed change switch sticks on 2 when going between 1 and 3 or 3 to 1
The drill has performed flawless. It has great power and battery life.
The battery life is impressive. I thought the light on the drill was nothing more than a gimmick but after working outside on a few late nights it really came in handy.
I have used Craftsman, Ryobi, DeWalt and Makita from 7-18 volts. Makita has again produced a tough, handy design.
Great Drill/Driver !!!
It's fast, runs long on one charge, and is comfortable. I also really like the chuck - you can tighten and loosen it with one hand without a key and without running the drill.
They are lighter than other 18v models. They are tough, the battery charge lasts at least twice as long as any I have ever used...If you can swallow the price, buy this tool it is worth every penny.
