You can’t go wrong with Makita. if you are like me and get off on heavy in and out screwing and drilling, you want your tool to hold up. This one will keep you satisfied for years to come.

Love this drill. Has the power to do just about anything. The battery charges quickly and the drill fits nicely in my hand. I would highly recommend this drill.
Bethel Beier (verified owner) –
Good torque and range of bit sizes. Big plus: I have several 4 to 6 amp batteries that fit in addition to a couple 2 amps so I am not likely to be short of power!
Freddy Corkery (verified owner) –
My expectations were realized upon open the package! Not only was the brushless drill as pretty as I expected but the feeling in my hands was also satisfying. The drill was much quieter than my original drill and driver and there was less heat coming from it. Excellent tool!

Light, wide clutch range, high RPM, long life-time of LiB and quick recharge. My recent move to LiB has made a world of difference and significantly closes the gap to plug in capability without the nuisance of the cord.
Greyson Brown (verified owner) –
I have only had this for a short while. So far, so good. The drill has good balance and isn’t too heavy. The light is handy.
