Nice lightweight drill. Great for this money. Case is great option.

This drill works very well, is lightweight for a corded drill and has a good feel to it. I’ve had a corded Makita drill before and gave it away as I replaced it with a cordless drill, now it’s time to go back to the corded version. I haven’t had this drill very long but it feels like it will last a long time as my other Makita had. The only negative is that I wish they wouldn’t paste the label on the case as they do, I didn’t want it there and it took a bit of effort to remove.

After searching the website for the characteristics I was looking for in an electric drill, this drill surpassed them all.It is lightweight; easy to handle; very quiet and has lots of power. It is everything you could ask for in an electric drill. And, as if this isn’t enough, it is manufactured in the USA!

This drill is great because you don’t have to worry about charging it; just plug it in and go. It is powerful and does what it’s supposed to do.

Just what I wanted. Medium duty in a nice case.

I purchased this drill to replace my first drill, a Makita that I bought in 1988. It is a straight-forward, no frills drill. I like the upgrade from the old fashioned wrench-type to the new hand tightening chuck.

I have always wanted a Makita and finally I got one for my birthday. Love that this doesn’t need a key to change the bits. It is not too heavy and I know it will last for a long time.

I would have given it 5 stars, except that it needs more amp power. 4.9 amp is a bit weak for certain drilling chores

the makita 6408k is an exceptional performer and value. the reason i purchased it is because my original makita died after 36 years of hard and consistent work.bill
