CORDLESS DRILL WEAKNESSES
Endurance - Li-ion battery run-time is sufficient for most applications, but 25% shorter than average. However, batteries can be recharged in just 15 minutes.
Overall I'm extremely pleased with this purchase and would buy it again in a heartbeat. I'm now a Makita fan for life!
With the extra battery and fast charge time there was never a time I waited on a battery charge.
Don't look any further. I am a professional installer, and I will tell you this is the BEST Drill in the world, especially for the price.
I purchased this drill/driver for my dad who runs his own construction company and he absolutely loves it.
In all seriousness I have nothing but praise for this tool. It's lightweight, well built, tons of torque, long lasting/quick charging batteries and the list goes on and on.
Well, I really wanted to stay with the makita really, but due to the "wobble", it was useless to me.
This is the Best Drill I have ever owned. I am remodeling an old house, and it has gone the distance.
I am very happy with the performance of this drill. Battery run-time is even better than I expected, and recharging takes as little as ten minutes.
I would recommend this drill for home diy and especially female diy-ers as it is light weight, ergonomically designed, quick charging, and holds the charge for long periods.
I bought the Makita 18.0 volt lithium-ion cordless drill when they first came out several years ago. Within 4 months, both batteries were toast.
Light, powerful, long lasting batteries, fast recharge, and torque that will astound. Best cordless drill I've ever owned! The built in light is a nice touch.
Overall, I am very happy with this drill. What they say about the batteries is true. Doesn't last the longest, but it's perfect for my project and the 15 minute recharge time is great. I wouldn't hesitate in buying this one again!
I have been using this Makita Drill for almost two years, I used it and abuse it and it's working as good as the first day I bought it.
I love this drill. It's powerful, it's lightweight, the batteries charge quickly, I could get through large projects with one battery. What else is there to say? Best drill I've owned.
This drill looks and feels awesome. It is convenient, lightweight, and easy to handle. Unfortunately, the batteries died after only two months of use, regardless of my religious charging.
Makita makes great power tools and this drill is no exception. Money well spent.
This is the best drill I've ever had. It is light & well balanced, fits my hand perfectly
I got this for a gift. I love it it is so lightweight and has tons of power. Overall it is a great drill.
