Great for small home improvement projects:
I got this for my new house and all the small projects around moving and such. It is great. It always has the power I need and the charge lasts a long time.
Cabinet shop workhorse:
I now have 3 of these drills for my cabinet shop business, the oldest I purchased over 10 years ago. One has a square driver, one a philips driver and one a countersinker and those bits just stay in the drills. They are light, compact and plenty strong enough almost all drilling/driver jobs and last forever. The batteries last about 5 years of hard use, and because you can get the whole kit for under a hundred bucks, I often just by another drill when the batteries get tired.

Good buy, great quality.:
This drill is a great buy for light to medium duty use. Has high RPM and high torque for a 9.6v drill. It actually out performs my old 14.4v drill. Battery life is much better than expected also.
The Right One:
This drill is exactly what I've been looking for. The higher-priced Craftsman models and those like it were a terrible disappointment. Batteries didn't last and replacements were expensive.
But Makita is a brand I trust. Years ago I had a Makita rechargeable, and I USED IT TO DEATH. This one is just as good. Tough, durable, and priced right.
