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. |

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. |

Everything inside is the same as Ryobi. Made in the same factory, same line. ------------------------------ I bought one of the 18 volt cordless Craftsman "kits" at Sears back in 2000. It had the drill motor (with hammer drill setting), the little circular saw and a "Sawsall" type saw I used them almost daily in Florida building a very large, fenced horse paddock for my wife's horses, decks, and all kinds of projects over the past 13 years. They rarely sat idle for more than a few days because with a barn and horses, there is always something to repair or build. Last winter I used them daily building the stage and additional rooms at the new guitar shop. They must have had 100s of hours of use and abuse over the 13 years. I had three NiCad batteries that were the originals that came with the set and they also lasted for 13 years of fairly heavy and regular use. The batteries finally gave up the ghost about halfway through the construction at the guitar shop last winter. I would have bought new ones if I could find them, but I figured I had certainly got my money's worth over 13 years, so I ended up buying a new set. Decided to try a PortaCable 18 volt set. So far they seem fine but I doubt they will last 13 years under the same level of use like the Craftsman set did. I don't know who was making them for Craftsman back in 2000, but they were good. |

I've taken my DeWalt batteries into these guys for a rebuild at about half the cost of a new battery. They just replace the cells. If the battery is held together with screws, there's no problem. Some of the cases are glued together. If so, they make no guarantees, but won't charge if they break the case trying to get it open. Since the batteries were shot anyway, I didn't care if they broke the case. The rebuilt an 18V and a 12V. John (Gun Nut) H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

Hi guys, I have a couple of Dewalt drills that I use, drill bit in one hex driver in the other. Saves me a lot of bit changing. After about 4 years the batteries wouldn't last very long. I checked the price of new ones and it seemed better just to buy a new drill. Then I ran across a rebuilder of batteries, the price was much better and they said their batteries were slightly higher capacity. I sent in two batteries for rebuild, that was Sept. 09, now 4 years later the batteries are still going strong and I have not noticed any decline in capacity. I recommend them. I'm affiliated in any way, just a happy customer. They replaced the original NiCad's with NiMh, and the charger has worked properly. MTO battery http://www.mtobattery.com/store/ Mikek |

Made in the same factory, same line. ------------------------------ I bought one of the 18 volt cordless Craftsman "kits" at Sears back in 2000. It had the drill motor (with hammer drill setting), the little circular saw and a "Sawsall" type saw I used them almost daily in Florida building a very large, fenced horse paddock for my wife's horses, decks, and all kinds of projects over the past 13 years. They rarely sat idle for more than a few days because with a barn and horses, there is always something to repair or build. Last winter I used them daily building the stage and additional rooms at the new guitar shop. They must have had 100s of hours of use and abuse over the 13 years. I had three NiCad batteries that were the originals that came with the set and they also lasted for 13 years of fairly heavy and regular use. The batteries finally gave up the ghost about halfway through the construction at the guitar shop last winter. I would have bought new ones if I could find them, but I figured I had certainly got my money's worth over 13 years, so I ended up buying a new set. Decided to try a PortaCable 18 volt set. So far they seem fine but I doubt they will last 13 years under the same level of use like the Craftsman set did. I don't know who was making them for Craftsman back in 2000, but they were good. I've taken my DeWalt batteries into these guys for a rebuild at about half the cost of a new battery. They just replace the cells. If the battery is held together with screws, there's no problem. Some of the cases are glued together. If so, they make no guarantees, but won't charge if they break the case trying to get it open. Since the batteries were shot anyway, I didn't care if they broke the case. The rebuilt an 18V and a 12V. John (Gun Nut) H. Whooops. Here's the URL: http://www.batteriesplus.com/ There are some in MA. John (Gun Nut) H. They can also upgrade your battery pack to make it run longer between charges. I took two DeWalt batteries there and they are better than new. |

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. Don't blame Scotty's insane blurts on him. It's his jawbone's fault. At least that's what he told Luddite! I happened to be up at Home Despot earlier this morning, buying more mulch (it never ends). 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. Cite, please? John (Gun Nut) H. My eyes. I don't know anything about Ryobi, except that I see the brand at Home Depot, Lowes, and at indy hardware stores. Their products look much the same as everyone else's these days. You were dreaming, or lying. Ryobi tools are HD exclusive crapola. Horse****! Hell, even ebay has dozens of brand new Ryobi tools and accessories for sale. http://tinyurl.com/ncahhav |

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. Where were you when we were discussing LION batteries? Googling. 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.
