powerful, lightweight, used…
By blv
blows away the hefty 12 Volt NiCad Dewalt i substituted it with (after 2 years both batteries had stopped keeping a charge on the Dewalt). i got rid of 2 huge screws from a wall stud that the dewalt had was struggling to insert. the makita zipped them both right out like they were screwed into drywall only. the batteries charge quickly.
one note, this is “reconditioned” but i expected that to mean it would be more or less applied if at all but would be cleaned to like-new condition. not so! this thing was like it had just come off of a jobsite it had worked at for the past month. dirty, with light scratches all over.
it is still, such a quality drill with amazing features (keyless chuck is perfectly designed), is very compact and lightweight for a 18V powerhouse drill that i don’t mind how applied it is. i recognise it will last for years with the lithium ion batteries.

Co-workers Love This Drill!
By Micah J. Whitten
This drill is one of a kind. Amazingly lightweight but still powerful, just like a good race car. Makita has been my bestloved brand of drill and remains it after taking this latest drill for a test drive. My co-workers are in love with it also. I am an office furniture installer in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and use this drill at work. When we go on jobs together I find my co-workers using my drill oftentimes if im not using it.

second time, satisfaction
By John R. Mcleod
The primary unit I received was NOT factory reconditioned. It had mud impacted in the unit. One of the batteries was broken and wouldn’t fit the charger. The second unit was much bettered and performing nicely.
