Wasn't sure about this, it is brushless but has been around longer than many competitor's equivalents. I needn't have worried at all though; it is a great drill, quieter and more comfortable than my DeWalt equivalent had been, and just as capable if not more. It is reasonably heavy, but not ridiculously so (I wouldn't choose it for small stuff like flat-pack screws), but it is also solid and chunky as a result. The chuck is metal, good quality and true-running, the gears are also metal. The side handle is a work or art, though its unusually long length may be awkward to fit in some places. All in all, I expect it to last me for years.

The Drill/Screw Gun is a well made piece of equipment From the box it comes in to the feel when you first touch it It is a robust piece of kit but well balanced and easy to use. The built in light is a handy feature Altogether a superb drill and I’m pleased I opted for Makita again,over the other popular brand. It’s a 5 star from me

I work as a handyman/flat pack assembly in London, being on a motorbike I can only carry so much. But this drill is amazing and versatile. One day I’m going through red solid brick the other assembling a small nightstand using the screwdriver setting. Granted at times it can fatigue you being heavy, however I look at it as a free workout! If you’re thinking of getting one get it!

This is my 3rd Makita drill over 12 years. The others have lasted extremely well bearing in mind their constant use. This new one is considerably more powerful and with 4ah batteries lasts all day. Not noticeably heavier than previous ones

Great piece of kit - my last one died the day before this arrived but it had served me well for 20 years (and its only the charger that has gone!) I hope this gives the same service- so far I am very pleased.
