Pros: Durability, Dependability, Endurance; It fits a niche'.
Cons: Size
Summary: My experience with cordless drills was limited to a very cheap black-n-decker that my father had purchased in the early 90's. I was very unimpressed. For my birthday in 1999, I received the Makita from my in-laws as a gift. I would no consider it ... read more

Pros: Lasts forever. Replacement batteries still available as of 2004
Cons: Underpowered, compared to newer drills. A bit nose heavy.
Summary: I've had my Makita 6095D since 1990-something, I bought it when the model first came out. Mine came with a carrying case, charger and just one battery. I bought a second battery at the same time so that I could continue working while the drained battery ... read more

Pros: Everything
Cons: There are other cordless drills on the market to distract you from this one.
Summary: I have owned this drill for nearly three years, and it still goes 110%. My usual description of this drill is "You could change your tires with this drill if you had to." Meaning that this drill is powerful enough to remove the wheels on your car. In ... read more

Pros: It is a light weight drill and has enough power for small jobs.
Cons: "I would like to drill through this 2x4 today!!!"
Summary: The Makita product is a good line of tools for at home use but, when on an industrial site you need a little more reliability, durability, and strength!
The drill it self is light and even though it might look like a laser gun it is well balanced. ... read more

Pros: Reliable, 2 interchangeable batteries and charger, reasonably priced, and Makita name brand
Cons: None so far!
Summary: When I first saw the high price-tag for this drill, I almost did not buy this drill. I thought to myself that I would never really use it to justify the price.

Summary: I do not borrow this drill from my husband. It is mine. All mine and he only gets to borrow it on occasions when I am feeling nice. I should be more generous since he gave it to me for Christmas. It really wasn't one of those "look honey I got ... read more

Pros: It is a Makita. My other Makitas are 'indestructible.' The batteries are interchangeable.
Cons: It quit. The chuck has serious limitations. It is best reserved for hex shank devices.
Summary: I bought mine on 9/3/03. It is the newest of many Makita drills (and other cordless tools) in my shop. It no longer runs. I tried the trick of adjusting the battery terminals to grip the battery tighter but it had no effect. The case tells me that it has

Pros: 12 Years of faithful service, power, weight
Cons: You can have any color you want, as long as it is Makita blue :)
Summary: My Makita has been everywhere and has done everything. After twelve faithful years of service completing too many projects to list or remember, my batteries no longer hold a workable charge and only recently the gears gave up. While it can still spin
