Good power in a small package   Review Date: January 7, 2009 Reviewer: Keith Bosland, Springfield, OH I work as an auto technician and I bought this drill/driver to use primarily for interior work. Its compact size and lightweight (compared with an 18 volt drill/driver) are just what I was looking for. Plus, it has power to spare for my needs. The batteries last quite a while per charge and I don't have to worry about trying to run them down all the way in order to recharge them. I am extremely happy with this drill! Great Tool   Review Date: May 11, 2009 Reviewer: L. Alcantar, I've had this makita drill driver for a couple months and its done more than i ever expected. I originally got the tool to carry around with me to do minor maintenance. I've used it on almost everything i'v done except in those situations where a hammer drill or a high torque impact is required. Also, the little holster that comes in the individual case has been a perfect fit for my tool belt. Makita compact drill   Review Date: January 7, 2009 Reviewer: A. Roberts, Great price!!! Love the light... Small, powerful and does everything around the house without needing to drag out the hammer drill. Will make a great addition to my work tools. IT IS A DRIVER-DRILL! Just a more convenient one.   Review Date: December 23, 2009 Reviewer: ATL Jeff, ATL, GA, USA This IS a drill-driver. It just operates in a more user-friendly way than an old-fashioned chuck. The box CLEARLY ILLUSTRATES AND DESCRIBES the "Quick-Change 1/4" Hex-Shank" method of accepting bits. Lucky me, I bought mine at Ace Hardware on Black Friday for $80 + tax. It came with a plastic storage box, a nice canvas holster, and a canvas 65-pc accessory kit with every bit you could want, including hex bit drills. The canvas accessory bit kit fits nicely in the plastic storage case along with the drill, the holster, and the charger. It is light-weight and very compact (great for tight spots). Plenty of power. Has a nice LED light that illuminates very well, and stays on for about 15 seconds after trigger release: Bump the trigger to turn it on, use the light to locate your work within the 15 seconds (or bump it again), and begin drilling or driving. It even has a 1-year warrranty on the battery and a THREE YEAR WARRANTY on the rest. Mine came with only one battery, but it recharges fairly quickly (less than an hour). great little driver   Review Date: April 19, 2010 Reviewer: chester b., socal ive had this drill for a while now and for what it is... it is wonderful.. no its not going to drill through 1" steel plate in a matter of seconds.. if you want a huge mega powerful tool obviously this is not the drill for you.. however for working in small spaces, drilling small holes and shooting small screws this drill is wonderful.. mine came with a holster which i felt retarded using so i carry mine in my hip pocket with no problems at all.. i haul this lil driver around all day long at work (commercial hvac) and it always does what i need it to.. yes its a 1/4 quick chuck.. it CLEARLY says that (first line in "Tool Specifications" - "Hex shank 1/4".. i guess if you cant tell that by looking at the drill or by reading the write up on it then maybe you should not be using duty power tools.. 1/4 drill bits are expensive and annoying however makita (as well as others) make a 1/4" adapter (Makita part number 763198.. homedepot/amazon) which allows you to use "standard" bits.. yes the addapter cost more however its well worth the money..
