“First of all, if you're looking for a combi-drill for first-fixing construction joinery or whisking up a bag of plaster or board adhesive, look away now! If you're looking for a combi drill that's lightweight, petite and has a bit of finesse about it, then this might just fit the bill. I bought this for light, occasional DIY use and so far I've been very pleased with it. It is a very light, compact drill (due in part to having a brushless motor) with excellent ergonomics that would be well suited to use where its heavier, larger, more powerful 18v cousins might be overkill. I'm thinking of tasks such as cabinet making and light joinery where the probability of tearing fixings out of the substrate is likely, working overhead (plasterboarding a ceiling, maybe), light engineering tasks (technician use, assembly/disassembly), use in confined space, using small drill bits for finer work, or use by people with smaller hands or less strength than a power-lifter; my wife, for instance. The clutch settings on this drill are definitely designed for light use. I used this drill when levelling and counter-battening a small ceiling, and plasterboarding over it. The 25mm x 50mm battens were fixed with 6.0mm x 90mm Reisser screws through packers, some of which were 20mm thick. An impact-driver would have been a better tool for this job. However, all of the screws were fixed into piloted holes and could be driven in using the drill's high speed setting (lowest torque) but would only tighten up firmly on the lowest speed (highest torque). On the screw setting and the highest clutch setting (20), the clutch would slip before the screws were fully driven home so all screws were driven in using the drill setting which over-rides the clutch. A useful feature of this drill is that moving the forward-reverse switch to neutral locks the chuck so that the drill can be used as a large screwdriver to check tightness (it shouldn't be used this way to over-tighten or loosen over-tight fixings though). When fixing plasterboard, I used the screw setting and a clutch setting about midway to avoid over-driving the screws. The trigger is sensitive enough to be able to slowly finish driving the plasterboard screws to just below the surface of the paper without driving through the board. I charged both of the supplied 2Ah batteries before use. The first was depleted after a few tests and then drilling the pilot holes and fixing about 35 of the 6.0mm x 90mm screws. The drill and battery electronics protect the tool as the battery discharges so the drill will shut down before the battery can be over-discharged. The second battery finished the job off including fixing about 100 plasterboard screws and still has a good level of charge. The depleted battery took about 30 minutes to charge on the fast charger included in the kit. 4Ah batteries are available as an option. The kit comes in a smart, durable case with catches that enable it to be attached to other cases to form a stacked unit. There are no included accessories other than a double-ended PZ2 bit that was rattling around under the tray insert on my kit. I'm not sure whether this was supposed to be included or not! The drill has a small LED light positioned just above the trigger which should illuminate the workpiece which comes on when the trigger is pressed slightly and stays on for several seconds after the trigger is released. Sadly, the positioning of it means that the workpiece is in a shadow cast from the chuck when using short bits, so just as your eyes have become accustomed to a low light level, the light comes on and you lose sight of what it was you were trying to see. It is useful for finding stuff you've dropped on the floor, though! If the tool is registered online with Makita, the one year guarantee (on the bare drill only) is extended to three years from date of purchase from a Makita authorised reseller. The batteries and charger are only guaranteed for one year from date of purchase from a Makita authorised reseller. I bought my kit in September 2024 from PTW for just under £130 including VAT. Whilst that was cheaper than most of their competition at the time, I did note when registering it with Makita that the drill was manufactured in March 2022 and the batteries in September 2022 so I was sold old stock. Whilst this hasn't affected my enjoyment of the tool, I do think that this should have been made clear on their website.”

“Nice balance in use, like the variable trigger speed especially the super slow end, good torque, nice positive chuck, battery life seems good (not much use yet), charges quickly, conveniently packed into neat case, just a bit pricey even with a small discount, however my experience of Makita over the last 30 years tells me that I will get my moneys worth.”
