Customer Reviews:

great drill, great price [Posted on 2006-02-24]
So far, I have been very happy with this drill/light combo. I bought it because I was replacing all the interior doors in my house and needed to drill holes in the new slabs for locksets. My old 9.6V couldn't handle it, but it was no problem for this one. As for the light, it's great.

Some VERY minor issues: the battery is a little tight going into the bottom of the drill; the motor originally had an interesting smell but it's now gone; there is a little spark inside the case each time the electric brake kicks in. None of these cause any problems, and they might be normal.

I would buy this combo again, and recommend it to anyone. Can't beat it for the price (I think I paid about $115).

Great combination [Posted on 2006-03-15]
This is the second Makita set I've owned. The drill is excellent and the flashlight is bright.

Just more Chinese made crap. [Posted on 2006-11-03]
I bought this drill because of the mistaken impression Makita manufactures tools in the USA (Georgia?). But no, it's from China, just like Black&Decker, DeWalt, etc. So there is no reason to pay more for Makita. I heard somewhere Porter Cable manufactures in the US. So I'll look there next time.

Wonderful Drill! [Posted on 2007-02-18]
Replaced an old 9 volt drill and this works great! Love how the batteries are interchangeable between the drill and the flashlight. Definitely a great kit for a beginner!

Great quality product from Makita [Posted on 2007-07-13]
This is a fantastic buy. As an ex-electrician I know the importance of having a dependable cordless drill. This one definitely fits the bill. I've been out of the business for 2 years now and used to use a Makita 9-volt cordless drill. One of my co-workers used to have one of these and I was more than impressed with it back then and now am very pleased to own one. It is light-weight compared to the bulky Dewalts, and is unbelievably well balanced. Has a great amount of torque for a 14.4V drill. The bonus flashlight here is amazingly bright, I wish I had had one of these when I was in construction. You can also count on Makita quality. I know this drill will stand up to whatever anyone can give it. If you want the torque of an 18V without the bulky weight, this is the drill for you. Basically, BUY THIS DRILL!!! You won't regret it.
