The new Makita 12 volt 3/8" drill is about half the weight and less than 2/3'rds the size of the DeWalt 12 volt 3/8" drill. Behind the DeWalt on the left is the 12 volt Ni-Cad battery for that drill. In the middle is the 7.2 volt Ni-Cad battery for our DeWalt screwdriver. On the right is the 12 volt li ion battery for the new Makita. It is by far the smallest of the three batteries. |

I did google a number of sites that rated small battery power tools, and checked out a half dozen different brands of 12 volt 3/8" li ion drills. Just about every site had good things to report about the Makita, its batteries and charger. This will be a light use drill. I have *two* AC powered drills, one a hammer drill, for heavy use, such as drilling into concrete. I don't need a heavy duty drill for drilling into drywall or framing lumber, nor do I do that all day long. I'll be using the new drill over the weekend. Came with two batteries, and its light and easy to handle. I'm sure it'll be ok. Bought it on-line from Home Despot, delivered via USPS in one day. |

It's his jawbone's fault. At least that's what he told Luddite! |

Anyway, I chatted with the tool department manager and was told that compared to many of their other brands, they get far fewer "returns" for any reasons of the Makita tools. The one I bought is not the cheapest light 12 volt 3/8" drill, but it is one of the store's most popular. I'm sure it'll work out fine...I'm not going to be using it to drill into steel plate or concrete...drywall, wall studs, et cetera, is pretty much it. Oh, another brand with few returns: Rigid. |

Ryobi has very good cordless tools. You can go with Craftsman, but you'll be paying twice as much for the same, exact Ryobi. The only difference is the outside. Everything inside is the same as Ryobi. Made in the same factory, same line. |
