Self destructing Drill Jun 03, 2003
By Craig Sterrett
The 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.

Great drill Dec 29, 2011
By Sweetie
Its light and has a self tightening chuck. Don't have to use a key. Also it is variable at the trigger

Disappointed Jul 06, 2004

The gears on mine stripped when a spade bit jammed...sounded like nylon teeth skipping. This is not a rugged tool. The "keyless" chuck should also be called a "gripless" chuck.

Good, comfortable drill Mar 27, 2008
By Water Monkey "Marc B."
I 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.

not worth its cost Jul 31, 2007
By Wolf
Thought 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.
