The Makita drill is very powerful, and very compact. Very pleased with it. But the Drill Case lets it down as it is very flimsy, especially if you put drill boxes under the insert. The insert to carry the drill, charger and batteries doesn't have a specific place for the spare battery, so it is just rattles around. It's as though it's the wrong insert. Well pleased with the Drill, Charger and Batteries but the rest lets it down.

Just right. Light, all the power I need for drilling into brick or timber. Plenty of adjustment for screwing. Glad I got it.

First things first, I purchased this battery + charger + drill combo because it was only marginally more expensive than buying the batteries and charger, which I needed for another tool. What can I say about the batteries and charger? Not much; at 5.0Ah they last a long time, and charge in under an hour. The drill is rock-solid, and controls for torque, direction, speed, and hammer setting are firm and positive. The LED light is better than most, and the belt clip is handy. Some Makita customers claim that their drills' shaft isn't straight and that overall the brand's QA isn't what it used to be, but I must have landed a good 'un because I can't see any evidence of that. The only thing I'm not 100% comfortable with is the ratcheting sound when the drill comes to a sharp stop from maximum RPM. It's similar to the torque limiter being hit when driving in a firm screw, and probably a symptom of the chuck's inertia briefly hitting that torque limiter when coming to a sharp stop, but since it only happens when I'm drilling fresh air I'm not too concerned.
