Pros: Very powerful and light weight for 18v.
Cons: Gearbox broke

Comments:
Had the drill a couple of weeks and was drilling with a tank cutter and 3rd gear broke. But I've had the drill about a year now and has took alot of abuse and 1st and 2nd have been ok but no drive in 3rd. It's the best drill I've ever owned and the batteries last very well, better than dewalt batteries.

Pros: light weight, torque, balance
Cons: hammer function is light duty at best

Comments:
I like everything about the drill except...The 3rd (or high speed) gear failed after 6 months, it would grind inside the transmission and the chuck wouldn't turn. At least it remained working in 1st or 2nd gear. The drill is back from the repair shop now and the technition passed along this tidbit --- "both Makita and Dewalt are having major problems with their 3-speed drill gear boxes" so as for now, I will put this replacement gear box to the test!
