Is it possible to slacken the chuck without taking the skin off your index finger joint on the gearbox screw??? Otherwise, excellent tool !
Just handy to have to compliment other 18v Makita tools when in a tight space where you require the angles head
Why didn’t I buy one sooner ? What a game changer. Paid for itself already in terms of being so handy.
I had convinced myself that I needed a right angle drill, as I was making a full size bed bed, in a box room, and would only have 150mm or so at one end to drive the screws in.
I looked at the small attachments that you can get to drive a 90degrees bit, but figured that they would not last long, or I would lose them.
I also saw the reviews of this drill, not all of them great, and that did make me worry a little. However, I reasoned that I am a diy person, not a trade person, and am not planning to use 20mm spade ends to drill throigh joists – not yet anyway.
So I looked though amazon, and found the drill at a reasonable price – body only as I already have 2 18v batteries. I still think that the price is a bit steep, hence the 4 stars.
I ordered one day, and then the parcel duly arrived within a day or 2, nicely boxed up and well protected.
The drill itself is what I expect from Makita quality tools in the 18v LXT range, it feels solid and light, not too complicated. It feels as though it can be used for a long time, its comfortable to use with one hand, however, I found that I got better results using it when I applied pressure directly behind the drill bit.
In use, the trigger takes a little bit of time to get used to, an adjustable trigger is not something that I am used to on drills, and I read the instructions suggesting that you dont go flat out straight away. No problem there, for me, this is an expensive bit of kit, and I wanted to het used to it slowly.
The drill comes with a screw i handle, which can be fitted either side, and also has the familiar twist chuck to tighten up. The light under the drill is also present however this does tend to obscure the actual item you are drilling.
I fitted a battery, squeezed the trigger and got a feel for the drill. It is certainly different to using a normal drill. Sounds different, and feels different. In use, it works really smoothly. Drilling a hole I started slowly and sped up, and the drill performed nicely. I manged to drill all of the holes I needed to, without any issue. I also used the drill to drive in the screws, and again, the drill performed really well. Its also good at removing them too.
Overall, the drill handles as I had hoped a Makita drill would, and I was not dispointed. For me, this is a great addition to my toolkit, and whilst it wont replace my normal drill, it is a much better solution for tight to get to areas, and is a robust, lightweight powerful little drill – for the diyer. Pretty sure professionals would have other ideas, but it works for me.
This is a very good drill, it’s main advantage is getting in to narrow spaces where a conventional drill won’t reach. It’s also easy to control while drilling and get the hole drilled just where you want.
Another great ‘toy’ for my husband. He rates these Makita tools exceptional. They are used a lot and can withstand anything he needs them for. Well worth buying
Good makita quality but larger than you might think and with the added length of the bit, didn’t fit in the confined spaces I thought it would (battery size should have been a clue). Other than that, it works well and powers through anything that I have used it for. A welcome addition to my 18v toolbox
Typical Makita quality, works extremely well and the size let’s you get into the narrow spaces.
I don’t use this tool very often, but when it gets used it is extremely handy.
I’ve used this right-angled drill several times for work and absolutely love it. It’s nice and light and allows you to drill in spaces that would be impossible for standard drills to reach. Well worth purchasing. They have saved me lots of time and embarrassment on certain jobs.
I’ve used it for drilling holes in tight spaces, which I’d hoped to be able to do. It’s lightweight, compact and user-friendly!
PS I would give it a 6 star rating
It is a little smaller than I expected (a good thing), and has quite a high torque, more than I expected. Would still prefer a slower speed and more torque though.
