Pros & Cons
Pros
Like buttah! Hard to find that kind of value today. Great troque for 3/8 drill. Power of this thing is unbelievable.

Price
This is a simple, well made tool at a decent price.
It costs $119, whereas the makita is $77.
Competitiveness
My husband had a old sears dril for years.
Exactly as expected on power and size, would reccomend most makita products.
I lost my old craftman drill acquisted in 1977.
I compared this drill to many other name brands.
