Good drill: take care of the batteries:

I've had mine for a couple of years, and it has given excellent service. I'm an active do-it-yourselfer, so I put moderate use on the drill, but not the heavy use of a professional. I didn't think I needed the weight and expense of a half-inch drill, and that has proved to be the case. This drill has easily handled everything I have needed it for.

Those functions cannot be performed with a chuck that wobbles for whatever reason.

"A drill for all hands?":

I purchased this drill kit well over two years ago and have used it frequently. In all basic functions, it has performed quite nicely amd with no malfunctions. The batteries have exhibited a long run time and give the drill enough power to drill holes and drive screws without complaint. Recharging has been trouble free and after the passage of time, the batteries still appear "fresh" in usage.
My complaint? I wish Makita would have thought a bit more about the basic shape of the batteries. If an... more info
