MUST HAVE TOOL 
2008-09-02
This is the handiest tool I have ever used. It is light weight, yet has plenty of power. If I only had one cordless driver, this would be the one.The fact I got a free battery with it, makes it an even better deal.
lite 2008-08-31
powerful yet light, very handy driver. will still keep my standard drill/driver because of its clutch, better 'feel' on some stuff.
great drill 2008-08-08
Rugged, fast charging, very light and ergonomic. I used to be a contractor but now just build stuff for me. If you need a longer lasting charge, get the one with the bigger battery, but for most non-builders, this drill is fantastic.
Don't start any project without this little monster !!! 2008-07-05
Wow! This little monster can do everything. This is the best tool I've ever had. Amen. Throw away all your corded/cordless and keep this one. Every project is so easy with tool. It's light, attractive, powerful and fast charging. It has glow in the dark ring, too. Makita did it again.
Not as good as a Panasonic 6506 
2008-06-09
I like that it has Li-Ion and a light. It is specified that it has considerably more torque than the Panasonic 6506 (1280 vs 867in-lbs), but it just can't drive screws as fast?
My hunch is they exaggerated the what it does. It has a much lower price than the new Panasonic with similar ratings - there must be a reason that isn't shown in the specifications. Could be that the peak torque has less total energy - thus is drives much slower.
Natural fit in the hand. Fantastic Driver! 2008-06-08

The right tool for the tough job 2008-05-23
I have looked long and hard for this very tool, at the right price and only found it at Amazon. Amazon you have come through again, Thank you.
GREAT 2008-05-15
This driver works great and hold a charge for a long time. Also charges QUICK.
I LOVE this thing! 2008-05-08
This is an excellent tool. It's everything I expected and more! It drove 2 1/2 screws into solid wood and countersank them with no problems. And taking out screws was superb also. As a woodworker, I can't rave about this tool enough!
Nothing but good things to say about this model! 2008-05-02
I work for long periods screwing self-tapping wood screws above my head installing blinds. What this model provides that others don't is the lightweight. Li-ion batteries at only 1.5 ah fit that bill well. You sacrifice a bit of run time between charges, but I have found that a charge lasts all day and if I need a charge, the 1.5 ah charges in only 15 minutes plus I have an extra battery always charged, so this isn't much of a problem for me.
The impact action works great for self-tapping screws, almost like it was designed for them. It requires much less pressure from me, which is better for my back. I find that the clutch, which is NOT adjustable, is set at a good, all-around level. I find that I can control the penetration very easily between the clutch torque level and trigger speed control.
Next, speed is critical and the faster the better for me and this thing is quick. I tried other lightweight cordless tools and found the speed sorely lacking. I bought this from Amazon refurbished and it looked new to me. I have nothing negative to say about this tool!
