I like the proper keyed chuck and the hammer action feature, also it has reverse and variable speed on the trigger.

Superb Makita drill.. Perfect for jobs around the house and outside. Very powerful but not to big.. Very pleased

Good: solid construction; easy to control drill speed; proper chuck with key; seems a very professional piece of kit; NOT made in authoritarian China.Bad: Ideally it would have been slightly lighter – but you make your compromises

This is a fantastic drill which I bought as a replacement for a similar Makita drill which i’ve used for years. Its got a decent keyed chuck, not one of those useless keyless ones and is really good quality, especially for the price.

Powerful drill, does the work well and variable tiger is very handy, good to have ‘chuck key’ to hold drill bits well..

A great drill with a reasonable level of hammer action when required.Half the battle is to also have a good set of drill bits to go with the drill.I find the chuck works excellently with no slipping and is still easy to remove the bits when finished.It does the job! No complaints.

Happy with my Makita Drill

Feels very comfortable to use as a good tool should, it fits the old style vertical drill stand which quite a few new drills do not.
