Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It has four operating modes. Like led lights for mode change instead of an old-fashioned manual detent switch. Quick change button means you can change the speeds with one hand.

This tool is a major upgrade. It looks new, but didn't come with any registration or instructions. This new hotness is amazing as upgrades go.



Cons

Did not come in makita packaging. Was just the tool in bubble wrap. This is obviously an issue with seller.

Highlights

Quality


Irregardless, by far the best drill i have ever had, the best tool that i own.


The ability to adjust power settings has made this a perfect all arounder.


After several valiant attempts to compensate, was forced to adapt with an uncomfortable and compromising grip whereby i just gave up.

Packaging/appearance


So besides the sketchy packaging, this has completely met my expectations at a great price.


No packaging, no wrapper, no stickers, no marketing information attached or anything.


It came in a plain beat up cardboard box, no nice makita box with all the careful protective styrofoam packaging.


I have no idea if it was used but sure seem like it because of packaging, no makita box or manual, no paper work, nothing, zilch.

Competitiveness


Has demonstrated more power than milwaukee fuel impacts (i previously used one full time for a year and some of my co-workers u...  Read More


I did a lot of research trying to decide what style makita driver to purchase and am very pleased with it.


I bought the xt288t combo with the xdt16 and xph14 thinking it was the xdt19.


This tool costs more compared to other lower quality brands, but i believe it is worth the money.
