Convinced - as expected from Makita

After I was able to gain experience with cheap and quality tool I swore future defective or unsuitable devices or similar only by the quality of equipment brand Makita, Metabo, Black & Decker to replace.

Now tasks the batteries in my cheap (but really not half bad) Powerplus cordless screwdriver with hammer action after five years the spirit I had the choice. New batteries get that are difficult to find or equal to something new? My old electric screwdriver had three significant weaknesses: He was heavy and rather cumbersome and the chuck was pretty bitchy, since the ring to solve was little grip (metal lighter with honeycomb structure) lies and usually operate only with two hands. Working in ceiling height is quickly lost the fun due to its weight.

Having already convinced a battery operated vacuum cleaner Makita in this house for three years mainly by its battery performance, also seemed logical to choose a cordless screwdriver if need be can also use the 3 Ah battery the sucker. In addition, a charger for Makita batteries was already present. So I tended to only standalone Makita screwdriver + an extra battery.

Ultimately, then, the advertising has the child awakened in the man and brought the reason for silence: I grabbed completely irrational to complete with batteries, bits, drills and even a charger (one was already in the budget available) packaged in a beautiful Alukiste. I especially liked the Alukiste. Compared to Systainers Makita seemed the concept also drill bits and tempting and virtually in a box to have. So I resorted to after I have these thoughts glossed over two months. : D

To Set: The screwdriver does what he should. He is strong and thanks to its two courses it is clean to attract no problem rundzunudeln screws without screw and bits. Even the hammer action and confident is better than my old cheap screwdriver. I could fix some hooks in sandstone masonry our garage so easily. He is very good in the hand and weighs compared to my old screwdriver still pleasantly low. I particularly like the chuck which can be really time to open with one hand and tighten.

The here often criticized bits I can only say that they make a bad impression on me. To access well and I can not imagine that they wear out prematurely so far. And in case is still doing a second complete set. The drills that I've used were straight and not inclined to wobble. Maybe I've been lucky here. Box cutter, ratchet wrenches and "nub" also act with value and have already proven to me to be useful, the nub is perfect example to convey a few stubborn bolts the last millimeter in the sinking.

The carrying case is of the processing in order but also the only one in my eyes "vulnerability" in the set. When the package was delivered, I had problems aufzubekommen the drawer. All parts in it had adopted in the mail from their compartments and wedged into the drawer. Thus I needed a half hour to herauszufriemeln everything carefully from the tray or to press into their pockets in order to open the drawer at all. One should therefore never the case tossing or tip over. ;) Here's a tighter fit of the tools in the subjects would be desirable. Man could alternatively dispense with the deposit with the subjects (can be removed) in order to avoid any recurrence wedging of the content. Thus, you could still store other accessories in the charge also takes the second bit sets.

Conclusion: I do not regret the purchase and the "unreasonableness" has turned out to be a good decision. I am even glad to have a second charger always in the trunk and not always having to abkabeln the old charger when it comes time to outdoor use. The belt holder Makita had the set yet rounded, but as I usually the screwdriver eh abstelle on the battery I think it's unnecessary.

After jigsaw and Akkusauger of Makita of screwdrivers will certainly not be out of this house, my last device.
