versatility, speed, portability and power/weight ratio... SHOW ME ANOTHER DRILL THAT HAS THE 4 FUNCTION FEATURE
Best Makita tool I have ever purchased. I don't have to change to a drill or any function, this tool have everything, I use it almost every day. It paid for it-self already
Because of it's light weight and long battery life I feel I made the right choice. Would recommend it to anybody.
This is it. The perfect tool. Four tools in one. Light weight. Has hook to hang from your belt or high up on ladder. I retired all my other drills, hammer drills, screwdrivers, impact drivers. Super.
High Priced Gadget
Almost The Perfect Tool...Very happy with this expensive drill.
I bought this when it came out, love it!...Four out of five stars for slight difficulty in sliding mode selector from day one, even so, it's still the driver I use every day for my living.
it is compact and light-weight; the built-in light is very useful; and the batteries charge quickly and retain their charge quite long. My major complaint -- and the reason I give it only 3 stars -- is that the torque is inadequate.
I love the four function aspect of this tool. It has an LED light too. Small, light and you can drill, screw, hammer drill, and drive lag bolts with it.
