Has more power than my old brushed Makita. Great size. Not too heavy.

My 5th Makita drill! It’s not that they wear out or break, far from it. I had 2 when I lived in Alaska but sold them because we moved overseas. Now that we have moved back to the US I’ve bought 3 more. I have 7 cordless Makita tools. They’re reliable and always get job done.

Excellent as much power as corded. An essential tool for locksmith. It would be great if router would accept porter cable router template guides. The guide for 1/2 bit is acceptable but poorly engineered.

Yes. Light and powerful

This router and plunge router are terrific. They are really easy to use, have tons of power and can do the work of a full sized router. Being cordless frees me to use the router anywhere. The guide attachment seemed flimsy at first but proved to be strong and firm.

Only had the drill set for 3 weeks, these Little guys performs like the big boys. Great investment if your looking for performance in a small size, light weight drill.

Remodeling an old staple with full saw cut oak for studs and posts. Installing electrical and needed a drill to run electric wire for lights and fans. The oak wood didn’t phase the drill even with a 3/4″ wood bit. The 3hr volt amp battery lasted longer than I thought possible. The chuck is easy to adjust so using different bits is a snap. The tool has become my favorite using it for electrical, plumbing, and hanging dry wall.

I bought this unit as a replacement for an older, corded router. This router is compact, strong, and feels great in your hand.Another benefit of this kit is getting 2 5.0 batteries, that will work with all my other Makitas.Great products

After a year and a half of daily use, this drill has held up just fine. Worst abuse was drilling pilot holes into a metal window frame when the chuck rubbed against the stucco. I cleaned the paint off with some soap and alcohol and it looked good as new. No marring of the material.

Fantastic drill. Plenty of power, with all the features you expect from a cordless (non-hammer/impact) drill, plus it’s incredibly comfortable to use one-handed due to the light weight. With the case, charger, and two batteries included, it’s perfect for basic DIY house/shopwork.

excellent

Very good compact brushless drill…could use a slight bit more speed control on the slower end before it speeds up, but still awesome!
