dwain Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Hey all, Mike and I had a chance to review the latest 18V Makita Drill that's been making a buzz due to it's big torque claims. What do you think? Original (superseded video here): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCMsK4mzR64&feature=youtu.be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tool Whore Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 I know I wish I had a friend or the extra money to blow on it. I've been debating on whether to buy the H/Drill impact combo to do a head to head with the Milwaukee Fuel. I am very interested in how they both perform. I have the Milwaukee set and am super happy with its performance but longevity still needs a few more years to make its mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 That's crazy you got one so quick! Good job guys. Good to see a 5.0 battery instead of the 4.0 that was listed. Now you see why I like the DCD985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Great Review Dwain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 What the heck what was supposed to be a beast of a drill just ended up being the same as all the other tool companies heavy duty brush less drills. I wonder why the overload protection is so sensitive. I would get annoyed if it was cutting in that often. Man I was excited about this new drill and impact driver Makita was releasing.

dwain Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 and now it's time to eat some humble pie our original results seem to be erroneous, it is one serious tool! I've edited the original post with the new video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
