after long considerations and trade-offs, which cordless drill unless now for longer life and durability the right, I'm stuck on this product.
A brief history:
Longer time before once bought a hardware store cheap-cheap-cheap electric screwdriver (20). Sufficient for the first use. After prolonged use, however, not the batteries asked no more function.
Then, the back and forth, Bosch, Makita or Detwalt. Ultimately Makita. The idea of a NiMH Makita averted quickly, because the battery discharge corresponds to the same procedure as the DIY machine.
Although there are some people who hold the accessories for bad, so I can only say as a hobby craftsmen, is wrong.
We recently decided to property, which is why the machine is increasingly used. Drills and bits ranging completely out of the "normal" use.
And the value for money is consistent completely.
Would have only to wonder if a professional kit for the price this would be, right?
Except for the hammer action (has not yet been used by me) I can only report positive so far and recommend the machine completely.
Also with regard to the weight. It is preferable fairly easy and definitely against the smaller 14.4 V Li-Ion.
In this sense, I hope you enjoy it!
PS - for all owners / buyers of Makita tools: Do not forget to perform the online product registration. Thus, the guarantee extended by one year. So here for 3 years!
