Works best with newer tools, needs modification with older ones.
This works just like you expect it to, but Makita decided to make their new batteries incompatible with their old LXT tools. But the fix is pretty easy, requiring you to either break of a tab on the tool or cut off a ridge on the battery (plenty of descriptions on the internet). Just be aware of that fact before you go to a jobsite with this as your only battery and find it doesn't fit your older tools.
That said, this battery works great. It doesn't weigh any more than the old battery, and once modified, works with all the old tools, providing a longer run time. If I was more than a hobbyist, I'd buy a bunch more from here.

Was it really new?
1 of 2 found this helpful We purchased this phone for my technically-challenged 85-year old father-in-law. He has mild dementia, so we wanted a simple phone that would be easy to operate (we tried the Jitterbug phones, but the rates get too expensive if you use it more than once in a while).
At first, it seemed to be living up to the promise of a easy-to-operate flip phone, but for the last month or two, my father-in-law had been complaining about it not holding a charge. Since he has mild dementia, we questioned whether he had actually plugged it in or not. But when we tried, the USB port was very loose. And even when we could get it to charge, the battery literally was lasting for only about 10 minutes of calls in a 5 hour morning.
Now the reason I am left to question whether this was a new phone is that my wife had this model for over 4 years before it suffered a loose port issue. And she used it for another year before the hinge broke. And a friend had one for about 8 years before he forgot he had it in his pocket and went for a swim. This phone will survive a momentary dunk, but not 30+ minutes underwater.
A "new" phone couldn't have gone bad that quickly, could it?

Works well, but not so much in wet clay.
I've owned this for almost two years, although I haven't used it in the last year. The 4" bit was a little useless, but a (purchased somewhere else) 6" bit works quite well for sinking 4x4 fenceposts. As long as the soil was dry, it would dig a 24-30" hole in a few minutes. I tried using it with a 10" bit, but that was too hard to control. And the clutch would engage when you hit something solid.
My two complaints with this drill are the noise, and the lack of a reverse. The noise (I'm guessing from the gears) is hearing protection loud, and working in clay, it would dig itself in, the clutch would engage, and you'd have to lift it out of the while, clay and all.
So, in review, it's functional for most digging, except in wet clay, where it would turn the 4" bit, but it would get stuck, and then you'd be left dragging it out of the hole.
