This drill looks identical to all the 3/8" Makita's I've had over the past 20 years. It's well balanced, lightweight, and the standard chuck and key combo is hard to beat for keeping the bit tight. However, this drill doesn't seem to have the torque of the older models. The variable speed trigger is more like a 3 speed switch with a low, medium, and high. Older Makita drills with variable speed were smooth and gradually increased the rpm's of the drill. Also, the gears inside are very noisy. At first use of the drill I thought there could be a loose gear but after using the drill numerous times I think the gears are just designed loose. When drilling under a load the drill is quiet. Only time will tell how well this drill holds up to every day use.

This drill is rated at 2800 rpm. It is pretty well balanced and not gonna weigh your hand down to the point it becomes heavy. This drill has a button to keep it continuous and thats nice. It has a chuck key holder and comes with the chuck key. Very good trigger pull action. Not too sensitive and not like you have to push really hard to get it going either. Made just right. When drilling, barely any vibrations because it's designed to give you the best optimal drilling all the while youre holding it. The cord is 8ft long and thats a nice little plus. If youre looking for a great drill, this is it.
