What Customers Say About Makita 8444DWDE 1/2-Inch 18-Volt NiMH Cordless Hammer Drill/Driver Kit:

For example, I have used a Dewalt drill that remains strong even after spending most of its life sitting in the bottom of my van for 6 months at a time, unused. My drill had high initial quality, but the batteries died in less than a year of LIGHT use. Light, but not so light that under-use should have caused them any damage. Both my Makita batteries are worthless, and I used the drill maybe a couple times a month, for short-duty jobs, during its first year.Unfortunately, I didn't realize the problem is defective batteries until after the warranty period was over. I'm going to see what Makita will do for me, and I will change this review to favorable if I get results.
After using a Dewalt 18 xrp for the last 2 years, I bought this drill after the dewalt "walked" off on a job. I have really been surprised with this drills performance, it is stronger than my dewalt and the batteries last quiet a bit longer. The makita has performed flawlessly for me the first 6 months now and has exceeded my expectations which was to be at least as good as my old trusty dewalt. This is a professional grade tool.
It is constucted better than the others and when its operating it doesn't feel like its going to fall apart. I am an electrical contractor and have bought many of the yellow ones and the red ones but after using them every working day for 8 years we have our opinions. The makita 18 volt hammer drill is the best drill you can buy. Makita started the cordless craze and their batteries used to last 7 years and cost only $30 Now some batteries last 2 years and cost $80 to replace. The battrey life is twice as long. It has more power. One test is worth a thousand expert opinions so go for it. Sid Sutherland, Sutherland Electric,Brush Prairie, WA
