Comment:
A fine, light weight, reasonably priced drill (about [$] at [...].Use it around the house and yard and for extended periods with sanding wheels when doing wood turning. Have owned and still use a 30+ year old 9.2 Makita and would have bought another but the price is high and the new one was not comfortable in my hand. One comment about the [...] store in Southport NC. They bolt most of their display models down.I asked the manager why and he told me to avoid theft.Two c omments from me: I would not buy a hand tool without feeling the weight and comfort,some stores put their display tools on a wire so you can handle them.Fortunately for me a salesperson agreed with me and cut open a box and let me feel the one I did buy.
