This is the second Makita set I’ve owned. The drill is excellent and the flashlight is bright.

I bought this drill because of the mistaken impression Makita manufactures tools in the USA (Georgia?). But no, it’s from China, just like Black&Decker, DeWalt, etc. So there is no reason to pay more for Makita. I heard somewhere Porter Cable manufactures in the US. So I’ll look there next time.

Replaced an old 9 volt drill and this works great! Love how the batteries are interchangeable between the drill and the flashlight. Definitely a great kit for a beginner!

This is a fantastic buy. As an ex-electrician I know the importance of having a dependable cordless drill. This one definitely fits the bill. I’ve been out of the business for 2 years now and used to use a Makita 9-volt cordless drill. One of my co-workers used to have one of these and I was more than impressed with it back then and now am very pleased to own one. It is light-weight compared to the bulky Dewalts, and is unbelievably well balanced. Has a great amount of torque for a 14.4V drill. The bonus flashlight here is amazingly bright, I wish I had had one of these when I was in construction. You can also count on Makita quality. I know this drill will stand up to whatever anyone can give it. If you want the torque of an 18V without the bulky weight, this is the drill for you. Basically, BUY THIS DRILL!!! You won’t regret it.

As a full time carpenter, I bought this drill a couple years ago. It worked great for light work, like drilling small holes in wood (not metal)and driving short screws (forget about lags). It was great for furniture projects where a delicate throttle and finesse was necessary. But if you plan on using this as your all-around, do-it-all drill, forget it. While driving some longer screws (3″) on a job (my first 18v Milwaukee finally wore out) the clutch inside snapped some gears. I called Makita and they sent me a replacement clutch (in the meantime I rush ordered a new 18v Milwaukee to finish the job). After that I only used it for extremely light duty work. A few jobs later, the replacement clutch started slipping before giving out completely. I shouldn’t have to keep putting parts into a tool to keep it running. I love my other Makita tools (circ saw, and 10″ compound sliding miter) but this one is junk. Buy a real drill, stay away from this one.
