Customer Reviews:

This is a trick [Posted on 2006-12-20]
The batteries that come with this drill are the much inferior 1.3 ah type. They don't tell you this in the ad. They also do not tell you that this merchant charges a 15% restock fee for returns. Also, the process was nightmarish and slow. Amazon is turning into an ebay, selling more and more stuff from other merchants. This makes quality control, efficient searches and things like returns much more difficult. Amazon bought and then ruined Tool Crib. This may be the last straw when it comes to me shopping for tools at Amazon.

great product for the price [Posted on 2007-02-16]
This is a great drill. To get a hammer drill, drill and driver all in one is a fantastic combination. The batteries hold up very well and recharge very fast. For $99 you cant go wrong. I might even buy another one if I see a deal like this one come around again. The packaging is very neat and clean and they leave some room in the case to keep a box of screws or two if you so desire. Overall a great product.. Im one happy customer.. !

cheap means cheap! [Posted on 2007-09-09]
The main reason I purchased this drill was for the batteries. However the batteries in this Chinese reproduction is about half the amp hours of normal drill that Makita produces.

Not the real thing!

first drill, works fine [Posted on 2007-09-15]
As someone who has never owned a drill, this one seem user-friendly and flexible. However, I found that it took a very long time to drill a hole into our concrete ceiling -- at least 30 minutes to get a depth of 3/4 inches (with 3/16 inch masonry drill bit). It could be that this is simply the nature of drilling in concrete, rather than a fault of the drill.
