After having purchased a Makita cordless chainsaw along with two sets of 5ah batteries with charger last year, I was very much impressed with the performance of the saw. I bought the saw because I have several old Makita corded tools that I bought many years ago (and still use), without issues. That work-a-day experience with their products was enough to convince me that I should give this cordless drill a shot because I already owned four Makita lith-ion 5ah batteries that also work perfectly on the drill, too. How does the drill work? In a word: great! Plenty of torque for average jobs, quick, predictable bit changes without the need for a chuck key, excellent hole drilling speed and instantly switchable low-speed screw driving ability. It's light weight and compact, too, great for getting into tighter spaces. It's all I need for most of what I do with it. Would I buy another tools based on the Makita cordless system now that I have the interchangeable cordless core basics to run them? You bet I will. Read full review

This is the first brushless Makita tool I've bought. First real test was to drill over 200 small holes in Corten steel plate. the thing that impressed me was the lack of buildup heat on the Makita! Previously used a brush model & it definitely started getting warm; Not an issue this time. The LED battery status is a nice touch. Only wish Makita would reposition the front light to actually light the drill tip itself. Light does ok otherwise. Excellent build, powerful, solid & compact. Professional user.
