Customer Reviews:

Good deal for a quality tool  [Posted on 2007-01-01]
when you have to do a work it is better to have good tools.
Makita is the top brand for electric tools.
This model is compact and light and have no defects from my point of view.
The two NiCd batteries allow full time operation even if single battery life is not too long compared to modern metal Hydrate type.
Reverse command is in good position and 2 speed is very usefull.

For that price it is a really good deal

Excellent Drill [Posted on 2007-01-11]
This is my second Makita cordless drill. However, the first one I purchased is still operating. I purchased this one as a backup. Great product, and I recommend it to anyone interested in a cordless drill.

never stops [Posted on 2007-05-19]
I use this drill for those small jobs & hard to reach places and it is great.I have had mine for over 8 years now & have never had any problems the battery's are finely not holding a charge i cant believe they have lasted this long. great tool!

I should have known.... [Posted on 2008-02-27]
After having my Makita 9.6v drill-driver (the older long-handled model) stolen a few years ago, I purchased a 13.2v Craftsman drill. What a big mistake.

As I no longer owned my own home, I figured that the Craftsman would be good enough. WRONG!!! No matter what I tried, the batteries for that thing would not keep a charge. How frustrating is it to pick up a tool that you charged 2 days before only to find it dead. This happened time after time. I finally got disgusted enough to simply throw it into the trash where it belonged.

Remembering how much I loved and trusted my old Makita, I decided to again buy that brand. 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.

I'm not sure what standards are used to rate battery voltages. It seems odd that the two lower voltage Makita's I've owned outperformed the higher voltage Craftsman. I'm not talking about holding a charge. I'm talking about torque and power. The Craftsman, with it higher voltage, just didn't have the "juice" of the Makita.

The Right One [Posted on 2008-06-13]
This drill is exactly what I've been looking for. The higher-priced Craftsman models and those like it were a terrible disappointment. Batteries didn't last and replacements were expensive.
But Makita is a brand I trust. Years ago I had a Makita rechargeable, and I USED IT TO DEATH. This one is just as good. Tough, durable, and priced right.
