wildroamer Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Nice Chris! Great review first impressions! Looks like Makita is really making some serious strides here. I do NOT need another battery platform!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboS1ice Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Not sure on the impact but the drill the reverse switch kept getting in the way of my hand, had to hold it a little awkward but they are sweet little tools Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted November 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I actually handled the drill at HD and dint seem to have any issues with the tool at all. I haven't used it though so I can't speak to its reliability but it fits in my hand quite well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible small already though, it helped you compared it next to the DeWalt. Portrait mode is big enough pet peeve I almost feel like buying you a replacement mount!

ChrisK Posted November 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Thanks Not Carl I figured having the side by side would be helpful for comparing the two in size but I have to admit, this is a really nice tool. Super impressed with it and the drill is just as cool. I have always love Makita grips, right up there with Dewalt. I really was impressed with how the actual tool sits atop of my hand, it's almost as if it's an extension of my index finger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
