Amazon.com Review

As the old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Makita's lightweight 9.6-volt cordless drill/driver was one of the first cordless drills on the market, and it has been the classic cordless tool for a generation of carpenters. We still like Makita's classic L-shape handle and user-friendly light weight. The tool fits comfortably in the palm and seems ideal for punching holes and driving screw after screw with efficiency. The forward/reverse switch sits on the top back corner of the drill, so you can't "click on the fly" as with some of the beefier Makita models. Additional features include a keyless chuck and a padded rubber handle for comfort and vibration absorption. The drill and flashlight come neatly packaged in a carrying case that's compact enough to earn a permanent place in your car or truck for whenever the need arises. --Justin Paul

Makita a name you can trust - Reviewed on 2004-08-17

I'm a general contractor and have owned Makita tools for a very long time. I still have the first cordless drill I ever purchased and its still working. This kit is great, up to date cordless drill with better batteries than before, holds the charge longer. The flashlight always comes in handy. I use these tools every day at work and home and wouldn't leave home without them.

We've owned several of this type of Makita 9.6v cordless for as long as 20 years and aside from a few minor glitches from time to time they're all still running fine. The NiMi batteries are an improvement over the old NiCad. Since we own several of them we've stayed with the 9.6v so we never run out of batteries as well as the fact that their performance is more than adequate for most of our needs. Considering that you can buy this whole package for nearly the price of a pair of batteries, it makes it a no brainer. I needed more batteries so I just bought another package. If you're a first time buyer of Makitas, you might want to go for the other models that allow the convenience of standing the drills upright, are slightly more compact and have a more power if you need it.

Buy it for the batteries and charger - Reviewed on 2003-12-27

The flashlight is okay (no diffuser for the beam), but the drill is crap. I bought it to get a new charger and two new batteries. If you have a good drill/driver and need some batteries and a charger, this is a good buy. I have a twenty year old Makita drill (jacob's chuck) that is better than the one in this "anniversary edition."

Same drill as the one using Ni Cads, but the batteries and charger are a vast improvement.

Current edition of the drill that set the standard - Reviewed on 2000-10-05

My trusty 12 year-old 6095DWE still works great, but needs a new set of batteries. When I found that 2 would cost $80, I decided to get this updated version with the Ni-HM batteries, updated charger and the flashlight. (mine came with a $10.00 mail in rebate)

The 9.6v is all I need. When I need more torque, I use a 1/2" corded drill, but this can handle almost all of the drilling and driving screws into wood that I do. I have used the 12 and 14 v cordless drills and found them heavier and more bulky, their battery life was shorter, and never found that my 9.6 was lacking.

My old drill is headed for the lake house and I will just put up with the short battery life.
