Milwaukee makes an impact driver; which looks and feels exactly like this and is a much better tool overall. If you really need a compact driver, find something less expensive.

Instead, you have to buy special bits that aren't cheap. OK, you're on the jobsite and you need to drill a hole. You have the right size bit, but wait! This drill only takes special bits! Don't have the one you need? You either have to drive to the hardware store and pay through the nose, or you're SOL. <br />The clueless marketing exec who made the decision to go with this worthless chuck design ought to be downsized.

I found my hand getting tired after driving one screw! <br /> <br />The Makita 18v lithium tools have such a superior feel they make this tool feel amatuer in design. It is almost comical to think that the purpose of this tool is to be compact and light weight and a total pleasure to use. <br /> <br />It is far from any of those things, the foward/reverse <br />switch is positioned in a place that almost garantees your gonna hit it while squeezing the trigger which disengages the motor or reverses the tool by accident, on top of that the feel of the switch is totally flimsy. There is no compasion to the fit and feel of the new makita, or dewalt tools. <br /> <br />As a remodeling contractor and homeowner, I could not see any value in this tool as it is.

When I asked about it, the manager told me that as a high-volume Milwaukee dealer they had received one of the first batches to be released, and had already sent them all back because the units kept breaking. Can't remember what part it was but it was one piece consistently. The stats on the driver sound good but if it doesn't last then stats aren't good for much, so I'm curious. Has anyone had one break during use? Rating: 3 / 5 I saw a promo poster in one of the hardware stores I frequent and was very interested in this tool.
