Most helpful customer reviews5 of 6 people found the following review helpful.Self destructing DrillBy Craig SterrettThe motor is more powerfull than the gears. The first time a bit got hung up, the motor stripped out the gears. I expected a lot more from Makita, and have to say this was the last Makita purchase for me.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.Good, comfortable drillBy Water MonkeyI bought this drill about 6 years ago while in the middle of a flooring project. The cheap Craftsman 19.6V cordless I had was not driving the screws into the subfloor. At the time I could not afford a large Makita cordless (which I now have) and I figured getting a corded drill would allow me to not have to worry about running out of power. This little guy did the trick. It was comfortable and unlike other users I did not have any issue with stripping gears.For the most part I use my 18V cordless Makita now, but when I need two drills for a project I bring this guy out and I am never disappointed.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.not worth its costBy WolfThought i was getting a steal on this when I saw it at sears for 20 bucks. Now though, I'm sorry i bought it. When they listed this as a drill, as apposed to a drill/driver, they weren't kidding; This drills low end torque is terrible: any attempt to drive an piloted screw will, at best, result in the drill stalling, and, when you increase the power, instantly stripping the screw.Unless you plan on using a second tool for driving, do your self a favor and look elsewhere.See all 6 customer reviews...
