Those are top notch drills.
Hope the new is as good as the old one, those old ones you have are some work horses!!
Thats good stuff Sammy.....I am a DeWalt man myself....always got good service out of them. I have a Makita corded recipicateing saw and a circular saw. Everything else is pretty much DeWalt except for my table saw which is a Riged and my joiner which is a Craftsman.
I still use Dewalt because I have 6 different things that run of the 18v batt. Them things Sammie has are about half the weight of a 18v XRP Dewalt, like them just as well and that weight adds up by the end of the day.
Yep.....good thing is.....when I get tired of holding mine I can just lay it down and walk away
Much as you put one through, has to be one heck of a drill. I put mine through fence building this past weekend. Bout 250, 2" screws and 20-25 3 1/2 inchers. LOVE a hammer drill
Buddy does carpentry work and we would fight over the makita when I would help him... When you Spend a little more up front ya don't have to replace it every time ya change drawers! Wonder how many miles your old drill had on it? Haha
bwahahaha.....how would you know ? you fish everyday lol:RoflQuote:

See if Makita has any service centers like Milwalkee or Dewalt does, bet they do. Did you use the new one today, how did it do?Quote:

Sammy, there is a place up here my Brotherinlaw gets all his tools worked on. I can find out who it is if your interested.Quote:

When I worked in a woodshop for a couple years, those exact drills are all we used and they could not be beat without a doubt
Yeah Cray that would be good, find out where I can ship it to and gimme a call if ya can, thnx in advance!Quote:

Great drills. I had a friend that rebuilt tools from pavement breakers to torque wrenches for tuning pianos. He rebuilt my old Makita 9.6v years ago and it was still running up until the charger went out!Been using a Porter Cable since then but it should last forever as little use as it gets!Like losing an old friend!
