I’ve watched many videos on Makita drills. They are superb but here is why I ended up choosing the right drill for me. My experience shared so you can cut to the chase.

    What did you mean the gears don’t mesh. Does your one feel agricultural? These are full metal gearboxes on the more expensive ones.

    @@Cuttothechase i like the power for drilling in wood, but not for drilling in concrete. I dont like that the drill and hammerdrill are on the clutch. When u select drill, it easily slips into hammerdrill and vice versa

    Hi, I have a beginner's question: when hammer drilling, should I push the drill bit all the way in the chuck until it butts against the back of it, or not?

    Hi. I am not an expert on this either but yea that is what I do. I do use an sds drill for hard materials such as concrete. The sds goes through it easily.

    Very useful. I'm always wondering whether to go one model higher than my initial budget! When starting the 484 there seems to be quite a bit of torque twist. Do you think that would make accurate holding of the drill difficult in some surfaces by it going off target? Cheers.

    Makita tools are rubbish, DON'T buy, battery drills, you pay say 80$ for a drill and rechargeable battery, battery dies, and 75$ just for a new battery, what a scam, its bin job...

    There are different ranges. -$80 dollar drills are not going to be decent drills. The battery has to be LXT or 40volts. Buy the right tool for the right job.

    @@Cuttothechase So Makita only make drills for the Pro market do they, nice, so then, why do they make them for the amateur market then,,,, that have crap batteries which are over priced, is it to attempt to push us into buying a new one every time, sounds little like a bit of built in redundancy going here, again? Good business practice, FOR THEM!

    @normski262 no they make a home range and a professional range. Consider them light duty and heavy duty. I’ve used both and I wish I had done my research before purchasing. Also I wish I had read the instructions as they would have lasted longer too. The Makita home range is just like all the other big brand names, a compromise. I’m not sure if you’ve watched the video but it’s important to do the research before the purchase They do have 1 year guarantees .

    @normski262 you’ll always need to keep some charge in those batteries. If you let them fully discharge then they will refuse to charge. I’ve done it myself. I have fewer batteries than tools so they are always being recycled. I feel your pain though.
