Excellent for the price (Rating: 5.00) Review : This is one of the best and most used tools in my shop. I have bigger drills,with more power but always end up grabbing this one to do the job because of its size and convenience. I bought it for close quarters but seems like I just use it for all my drilling of that kind. I'm not saying it will take the place of a big drill in some instant,but for most average work and close quarters it is the drill! A Solid Performer (Rating: 5.00) Review : We use this tool around the shop for drilling rivet holes in thin and some times thick, pre-assembled aluminum sheet. It performs flawlessly for this task. We used two other brands of cordless angle drills; however, they aren't as small and don't have nearly the durability of the Makita. This drill is by no means a "power house" but it is a "workhorse". An added benefit, aftermarket batteries for this tool can be had for a song. I Finally Bought One (Rating: 5.00) Review : As a contractor, I have two Makita and two Dewalt drills. I just couldn't bring myself to buying another drill. I'd look at this drill every time I went to the store. I was installing a blind corner wall cabinet. I couldn't get my regular drill all the way in the cabinit and stripped the screw. I decided I had enough. I stopped work and went to the store and bought one. What a difference in installing kitchen cabinets. This drill has more that enough power for what it is intended for. Now I don't how I did without it. I love this drill. Only bad thing is it comes with only one battery and the reverse switch looks like you can easily break it. Not Much Power (Rating: 1.00) Review : I bought this for cabinet installation. In tried to put a 2 1/2 inch screw into the side of a cabinet to connect two wall cabinets. It would not do it. It screwed most of it in, but it woukld not screw the last half inch in. Also I also tried to take out the same size screw that I had put in earlier with a 14 volt regular cordless drill. It could not do it. The Makita angle drill kept popping the built in circuit breaker in the drill, which is a great feature. The other review on this page says it has enough power for what it is designed for. Yes it does if you want to pre drill pilot holes for every screw you set or taking cabinet doors off. But sinking screws in studs is another story. I think an inexpensive corless screw driver would do just about as good a job doing that. I don't recommend this drill at all. Lightweight but tough! (Rating: 5.00) Review : It is very reliable like most Makita tools. It is lightweight and fits in my aluminum tool briefcase. A must for driving or light drilling in odd or hard to reach places. I am using it for screwing drawer slides in old cabinets. I wasted money in buying a flexible drill adapter from Rockler.com and it was a joke. In their catalogue the flexible adapter looked great and a man is shown effortlessly putting scews on a drawer slide. Don't be fooled like me. Be wise and buy Makita. The torque of this Makita angle drill is good enough for most work and the motor will not burn even if you abuse it. The drill/driver I have is made in Japan and the charger is made in the USA. I wish the on/off and forward reverse switches were closer to the drill for better torque and handling. The kit comes only with one battery. You might need two if you are using a lot. This is a pro quality tool. |
