Review: Excellent Drill - Nice, solid and smooth drill. Very pleased with this purchase.
Review: Lightweight but powerful - We ordered this to use with scrub pads that clean the inside of our glass shower surround. It is battery operated and light enough that I can use it without wrist strain. Makita tools are high quality as is reflected in the price. There is an LED light that helps with visibility in corners or darker spaces. Be cautious as it is a powerful drill and must not be used by children or dropped in water.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Drill
*by F***E on December 7, 2025*

Nice, solid and smooth drill. Very pleased with this purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great
*by B***S on December 9, 2025*

After writing this, it occurred to me that some of it may sound negative. It's not... The drill works great! I gave a rundown on the batteries, which don't even come with this drill, but figured it may help someone. Anyway, no need to read on unless you're bored! My only complaint is the noise the brake makes (a quick ratcheting sound). I googled it and found it's perfectly normal... It's simply the brake design they use on some of their models. In fact, Makita says it's supposed to more robust (I have no idea if that's true). One word of caution pertains to the batteries (they work fine). The 5Ah battery is big/heavy, which has always been the case. But the 3Ah battery is the same exact size/weight as the 5Ah battery (what's the point??). So I returned the 3Ah and bought the 2Ah battery, which is the same size as the old 3Ah batteries. I'm using the word "old", which I know is a relative term, because I haven't bought a new Makita brand battery in about five years. So the "new" battery sizes/weights could already be normal to some of you. I've always preferred the 3Ah because the lighter batteries give the drills a more balanced feel and I would rarely use it all day long unless I was hanging drywall. And even then I always have power, so charging one while using the other has never been an issue.
