Ten years with cordless drills [Posted on 2004-08-27]
When I hired on with an elite interior trim company some years back, I asked what was the first tool I should buy. My foreman told me to get a cordless drill, because all the drills on the crew were so busy that my chances of borrowing one were next to nothing. As a framer I had seen Makita drills keep going thru years of hideous abuse (the 9.6 types are incredibly robust). Anyway I went with a Makita 12 volt. I'll stick with Makita, but I've tried most others and like Panasonic and Millwaukee as well.
Excellent versatile little dril and light set [Posted on 2005-10-15]
the only reason I hesitate giving this a 5 star is because the batteries don't last forever. But I've had this for the last 6 years or so, and I love it. I only use it occasionally for light work around the house - I imagine if I was constantly remodeling my house, then I'd need something with a touch more power or battery life. I am certainly keeping this until it dies, and don't expect to replace it any time soon (I'm just visiting this page to say I own it and like it, so I can get recommendations in hardware). The version I bought came with 2 batteries.
Five years and going strong [Posted on 2005-12-16]
I've had this tool for five years now.
Everything still works like new, though I'm wondering if the batteries might be loosing their charge a little quicker... probably not, I'm just using them more.
Anyhow, I just purchased the 14.4v set to compliment this old tool so my staff doesn't have to fight over the one Makita.
As a professional contractor, I've used it bore 1" holes through studs to run electrical, drive deck screws, and even to assemble corporate cube-land (where you don't want to be rounding out Phillips screws!
Either I've been real lucky with Makita's products, or the just make quality stuff - you judge.
Excellent product [Posted on 2006-11-06]
As a cabinet maker I used this drill every day. This is a very powerfull 12 volt drill and the battery life is amazing. the flashlight is very powerfull and comes andy when needed. I highly recommend this product.
Reliable quality [Posted on 2007-05-30]
My old Makita 9.6 volt unit died and I wanted another 12 volt model for light duty use in a shop for cabinet/furniture making, and general use. Unit qualtiy is equal or better than my other Makita 12 volt models and I may buy another.
