Pros & Cons
Cons
It has a brushless motor which stalls out atany moderate resistance and heats up really hot now. The gearing is making grinding noises.
Highlights
Quality
Never had a makita brushless before and i have to say that so far i’m pretty impressed.
Competitiveness
Its about the same size as my old hitachi impact, which is to say pretty compact for an 18v hammer drill.
He has been a loyal customer for over 15 years after switching from dewalt.
My personal (same) one fell off an 8ft ladder and the chuck broke off.
