This drill is amazing. I have used many drills and this one is by far the strongest 18V drill I have tried. Also, the 15 minute charger is a huge plus. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.

The Makita is a good drill with a chuck that does a good job even with small twist drill bits. The LED is quite useful and I would not buy a drill without this feature. Battery charge times fro full sized batteries is about average and on par with Hitachi and Milwaukee lithium-ion drills I have. The highest drill speed is 1500 RPM which is on the low side for drills like this with Milwaukee and DeWalt models providing 2000 RPMs which is great for drilling in metal.
Power is very good but with even moderately difficult drilling tasks this drill bogs down and power cuts off to the battery. This may be due to some kind of preventative feature to keep the lithium-ion battery from overheating but it slows the hole cutting operation considerably.
For normal driving of screws or with small drills the Makita BHP452HW works very well. For use with large hole saws in tough materials the Makita is much slower than the Milwaukee 2611 or DeWalt DCD970 drills. We were drilling a series of holes in stucco to blow in insulation using a Blue Boar TCT Stucco-Brick hole cutter (excellent tool by the way), and the DCD970 worked the best as we could set its 3-speed gear box to the best range for the job. The Milwaukee 2611 was also very good but limited a little by its 2-speed gear box. The Makita drill was taking 2-3 times as long and it seemed like they would power down and then start going again repeatedly and you could see the LED lights go off and on and off again as power was cut to the motor.
With cordless drills having the correct power range available makes a big difference in how effective the drills are at delivering the power to the drill or hole saw. It helps a lot to use one of the new hole cutters with the large side slots like the Blue Boar TCT hole cutters and to use the best gear setting. I was surprised to find that with a very large 6" hole cutter the best performance was from using the middle gear setting of the DeWalt drill but with the Makita drill this is not an option.
The manufacturers' recommendations are really a starting point. The recommendation of the low speed high torque setting for hole saws really works for sizes up to about 3" and for adjustable hole cutters like the Hole Pro X-230 when cutting 9" holes in plywood but a middle range as with the DeWalt DCD970 makes for smoother cutting with very large hole saws like the Blue Boar 6" TCT carbide hole cutter. We find that to get the most out of the Makita or any cordless drill that it pays to get the new style of hole cutters (like the Blue Boar) and the new auger bits to get maximum performance. The difference between the Blue Boar TCT and a Lenox hole saw with the Makita is hard to appreciate but a hole that I can make with the Blue Boar and the Makita BHP452 drill in 4 seconds takes 40 seconds with a brand new Lenox bi-metal hole saw. With a bi-metal hole saw the performance of the Makita is marginal and much worse than a corded drill but with a new high performance type of hole cutter a cordless drill can easily take the place of a 15 amp corded stud drill.

The best drill/driver I've ever owned! Lightweight, powerful, and good ergonomics. Battery life is incredible. In hammer mode it works better than my corded Dewalt hammer drill.

I purchased this drill to replace an 8 year old 14v Dewalt. First thing you notice is the light weight of the drill and how comfortable it is to hold with a nice weight balance. I know most of the lithium-ion tools are lighter now but this just feels the best. Battery lasts forever and I actually used the drill at least 4 or 5 times with the charge it shipped with! Also, the charger is excellent and charges very quickly.
Only two small complaints now. The case seems "cheaper" than the old Dewalt case, and I wish this drill came with the small belt hook. Other than that I am very pleased and would highly recommend to others.

I love my new Makita cordless hammer drill. It's lightweight, well-designed, ergonomic and powerful. The battery lasts a long time, even in cold temperatures (14ยบ). The light is very handy and it is user friendly. The charger is quick and amusing, with its musical tones, and is also user friendly. It's very nice to have two batteries, one in the drill, one ready to go. I haven't used the hammer drill setting yet, but it's nice to have the capability if I need it. Meanwhile, it works as a very fine drill and driver. Highly recommended. Very glad I got it!
