#*# Makita BDF452HW 18 Volt Compact Lithium Ion Cordless 1 2 Inch Driver Drill Kit

I've only had it for a month, but it works extremely well, charges very quickly, has decent torque and is reasonably light. Not great for heavy duty work, but an excellent all-around product.

@# Makita BDF452HW 18 Volt Compact Lithium Ion Cordless 1 2 Inch Driver Drill Kit

well, the good and the great- its light light LIGHT! compared to all the others on the market, weight is this drills best feature, besides the grip and feel and comfort of it in the palm of your hand, beside the 15min charge on the 1.5amp lithium-ion batteries (includes two), and the strong torque and the L.E.D (you wouldnt think a light would be so well appreciated, but it is). the BDF452HW is just everything youd want or need from an everyday drill @ the house, and the price here on amazon with the free shipping cant be beat.

the ONLY con is, for less than $20 more, you could get yourself the Hammer version of this drill and its only a couple ounces heavier:

but i love it, a week now of constant use; hanging cabinets, light car repair on interior hardware, electrical conduit mounting overhead, cut-hole saw in doors, again, the minimal weight of the tool and the strength of the motor make for easy work with no matter what oddball or standard job you perform with it.

Bought this drill after my husband read high reviews in Fine Woodworking magazine for it.We are building a cabin in northern Michigan and after a year have had no problems.The battery lasts a surprisingly long time and plenty of power.As a matter of fact I ended up using it so much and liked it so much I wanted my own.My son borrowed it and he liked it so well we bought him one as a house warming gift. We ended up getting the daughter one also to have around her apartment.
