I have been using this drill to mix thinset mortar for the past 4 months. I have no complaints. I burned out my 6 year old Dewalt drill one morning and this drill was the only thing available for immediate use. I'm glad it was. I had initial sticker shock when i heard the price, but this drill is far superior to my last.
br /A metal housing? are you serious? i thought they stopped making tools this well. The 12" grab bar is a nice feature because this drill packs a tremendous amount of torque. It makes mixing a thick bucket of cement easier.

br /This is an excellent tool for the professional who needs this kind of power day in and day out. I would say it is a little it overkill for the DIY crowd or a once in a while user.

br /i reserve the last star for durability. So far so good.

I was searching for a replacement for my 25 year old all metal 1/2 inch drill (old one was stolen) when I saw the all metal makita on [...]. I have several Makita tools and I am very pleased with there quality. This drill is no exception. It has performed very well for me and I would recommed it to anyone.
