Makita Drill 6343DWDE [Posted on 2008-03-08]
I love this drill, it is a little heavy but strong as bull!
You can't go wrong with a quality piece at a good price....no more junky ni-cad batteries too!

Works great! [Posted on 2008-03-26]
Given that I'm upgrading from a 12 Volt Ryobi, maybe it's no surprise that
I was so blown away by how great this drill is. Battery life is long, and
power is really good. I feel like it was a good value for me.

Just awesome. [Posted on 2008-03-27]
This is my third drill I have purchased in the last 6 or 7 years. I have evolved from a small Craftsman 19.6 volt cordless, to a corded Makits, to this. I found this drill on sale (about 2 years ago), along with a free Makita tool belt, and snatched it up. I couldn't be happier with it. I have built two fences with it along with the general odds and ends around the house. This drill has never let me down. The charge lasts a long time and it has good power.

I think the most frequent compliment I get from friends that borrow it, is how balanced it feels compared to their 18 volts. To me, this is one of the most important features because the better balanced your drill is, the less fatigue you will feel on long projects. Plus it is easier to get the drill into awkward postions (like drilling back at myself, under an eave, while hanging over a roof.)

I am sold on this drill and will look for a new one, like this, if this one ever breaks.

Good Value [Posted on 2008-04-05]
This drill is actually a little heavier than I like but the price was right. I prefer the weight of the 14.4 volt units but this drill/driver works great. I have bought quite a few items from Amazon and have had very good experiences every time.

Makita drill kit [Posted on 2008-04-05]
I always buy Makita for quality. This drill is no exception. For a little over the cost of a couple of batteries, you get the whole kit. Great value, great drill.
