 "versitility, speed, portability and power/weight ratio" 2009-08-23
By Lisa
FIRST OF ALL SHOW ME ANOTHER DRILL THAT HAS THE 4 FUNCTION FEATURE. . . . yea I didn't think you could, so bravo for Makita on that important point. If you don't care about doing an efficient project don't worry about getting this tool. I love efficient and streamlined work so naturally I enjoy this product from Makita. I have used this drill on a daily basis for about 2 years give or take in commercial enviornments and I am satisfied with what I have purchased, the ability to both hammer drill and impact drive in one light, slightly inconveninet package (and I only say that because the difficult gear changing). With this drill you sacrifice some power and tork but the benifits depend on your specific use each day. On most days I did not need to bring any other drill, once in a while I would have to bring my 454 Makita to do heavy penetrations (like one inch holes through concrete) but on an all around regular use day I only needed this tool.



Hey you have to get the right bits for this tool, duaa! Lowes carries 1/4" drive masonry bits and they are not that expensive and if you have some brains in your scull you can figure out that the bosch concrete ancor drive kit has a toob with a 1/4" drive socket in one end and a socket on the other end that will drive tap-cons (concrete screws I think they are usually 5/16") any way once you get all this together you can move fast on many projects only having to carry one drill.



This drill will not do well if you try to use it on structual concrete (high density) and you can not use a chuck adaptor to hammer drill, the drive function is not enough to hammer the assembly. Step bits in the adaptor are ok but again you have less tork (though there are two drilling speeds so really it's like a 5 function drill) so I have an old step bit that I used on impact setting and that gets through most stuff. The gear shifting is something that Makita really needs to work on. It is hard to shift nice and clean to get the function you want but after you get good at fighting and trouble shooting this obstical it is a minor glitch in an otherwise fast and smooth day of drill/driving.



On a high rise building where you are climbing multiple flights of stairs with all your tools daily this drill is a must have because you only have to worry about one drill not an impact driver and a drill, less to lose and less weight to carry. If this drill will fit your specific task and you use it daily it is well worth the money and I can't wait for a smoother shifting slighly more powerful model from Makita, an awsome drill non the less.

Best Makita tool I have ever purchased. I don't have to change to a drill or any function, this tool have everything, I use it almost every day. It paid for it's self already even my wife says so. Purchasing another tool will not be necessary.

This is it. The perfect tool. Four tools in one. Light weight.Has hook to hang from your belt or high up on ladder. I retired all my other drills, hammerdrills, screwdrivers, impact drivers. Super.

By A. Creation By Hand Inc. (Glassboro, NJ)
I build custom furniture therefore, I use a screw gun every working day. I need a screw gun that can use every concieveable drill bit plus all the screw bits. Buying as an asserory a ball-dent chuck to increase the versitility of a tool that cost twice as much as a drill that has a keyless chuck as a standard is like an insult to someone who uses tools profestionally. I think Makita is looking for the rich hobbyest who will buy any gadget. Also, the bag is really cheep.

By Los Angeles Windows
Very happy with this expensive drill. Use it for work installing drape rods, window blinds etc... so the usage isn't that heavy. Have used it drilling into cement and tile a few times with the hammer drill and works well. The drill light is a big benefit since the lighting situations indoors, can be dim. On the driver setting, I would like to see the torque settings changed so that the highest setting would result in more torque. Without this I have to use it on the drill setting to get screws tight sometimes and this can cause a snapped hex heads from the unadjustable high torque.

 "Sturdy and powerful" 2009-11-11
By D. Bernhard
This is an excellent broad-purpose corded-drill! It is sturdy and powerful. The chuck grips tightly, the trigger operates smoothly, the cord is long and flexible and the chuck key holder (attached to the cord) is handy. It's somewhat loud and heavy but those are acceptable tradeoffs for a drill that is so sturdy and powerful.

 "Great Drill" 2009-02-19
By Christopher Douglas (Maryville Missouri)
Not the lightest drill I have ever used, but it has got a lot of power and this is a substantial drill to have in the shop. It is compact and has a heck of a chuck on it. Great for all day long use, and it has plenty of power. I highly recommend this drill for applications where you wear out the charge on a cordless drill too quickly, it tears right through whatever you can throw at it, and does everything a standard drill should do without breaking a sweat.

 "rock solid l'il item" 2008-12-10
By Chambers Willy (Guam USA)
I'm not very much into keyless-chuck drills, and even less into cordless, so I bought this Makita 6402 as an all-around drill in my already-electrified shop. And when compared to, say, a similar Craftsman keyless-chuck 3/8 drill at half the price, what strikes me is the increased compactness or density of the Makita model. Also, the Makita's slower 1200 rpm would seem to be preferable since the black-oxide drill bits that are generally available these days are only rated to a maximum of 1500 rpm. My only gripe with this model has to do with the illustration as given here and elsewhere. An earlier model seems to be depicted, one that had a variable-speed dial built into trigger. Sadly, this is lacking in the currently-produced version that I received; although, I must confess, the variable speed trigger as supplied is very sensitive for low-speed drilling as needed. Also, a previous reviewer remarked that this drill was made in the USA. And while I appreciate and agree with his remarks as a whole, my own drill as received was made in Japan (although there's nothing wrong with this as far as I am concerned). Also preferable to the Milwaukee series as mentioned is the Makita 6402's more right-angled handle design. And the analogous 9 amp Hitachi model does indeed seem better-suited as a 1/2 drill, rather than 3/8. So let's hear it for Makita's maintaining a realistic balance between the motor and tool weight/dimensions.

 "A Great All Around Drill" 2008-03-16
By Robert J. Marzinotto (Connecticut, U.S.A.)
This is one great drill. I was looking for a good basic drill for work in the shop,for general drilling and driving screws[witout constantly changing batteries] and this Makita more than fits the bill.Not too big,not too small. I already have a 1/2" Porter-Cable, a Porter-Cable hammer drill, a Milwaukee hole shooter, as well as a Makita cordless.However the one I reach for most is the 6402. It's just the right size, not too heavy and has good balance,and plenty of power. Say what you want about keyless chucks, they are a great convience, but give me a keyed chuck anyday. It only takes a few seconds more and a little effort.But they are the only ones that really lock the bit tight. Nothing more frustrating than to have constantly tighten up the chuck. Ive used it to drill and drive screws, and have put hole saws on it as well,and used a 1" forstner bit, and it has worked effortlessly,and it does not slip either. The reverse switch is in a good spot on the bottom,does not get in the way. No woodworker/handyman's tool box is complete without a Makita 6402. Its not the biggest,the baddest or the most powerful drill out there. But if you are looking for a great all around drill, the Makita 6402 is for you.[And the battery never seems to die just when you need it most] I almost bought a Milwaukee 3/8" drill. Its a super drill, but the size and weight are just like a 1/2" : kind of like a 1/2" drill disguised to look like a 3/8". A great drill, but I already have a 1/2", I dont need 2. Give this a workbench test drive, I doubt you will be disappointed. Ohh, did I forget to mention, its made in U.S.A.!! How many tools can you say that about today?

 "A great value!" 2003-11-26
By Mediahound (SF Bay Area, CA United States)
I bought this kit because it was a good value especially with a rebate.

You might think an included flashlight is useless but think again. You can get a lot of light time out of the battery attached to the flashlight and it's bright. Also, while the flashlight seems cheaply made (unlike the driver/drill, which seems very sturdy), the fact that it can stand up on the battery base and point anywhere in the room is nice when you are working with little light.

The Makita unit is sturdy, designed well and fun to use. It may not be quite as smooth-running as the more expensive Panasonic cordless drivers, but for the money and bang for the buck, you can't beat Makita. I also like the way the Makita looks better than any other brand. It performs very well and I am not dissappointed at all.

The included Makita case is a nice design and sturdy-a bit like a Pelican case. The Makita charger is also space saving. My only complaint is I wish the case was slightly smaller. It's about the size of a briefcase and there is a lot of empty space inside when you get the drill, batteries and charger loaded in. On the plus side, you can use this extra space for extra bits and other small handtools that you might want to carry.

 "Makita DF010DSE 7.2-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Driver-Drill" 2010-01-22
By Carter Hargrave (Tulsa, OK USA)
Man I hate being the first to review anything. First I can see from the numbers and percentages that many of these are being purchased. I had serious reservations mainly due to the cost, after all its a freakin screwdriver. I had a black and decker that lasted a long time and it came time to replace the battery and it was the same price as the driver so that was just stupid. I have other good cordless stuff like dewalt and makita. Dewalt does not have any ion drivers so that was out. The one driver dewalt has weighs like 80 pounds or so it looks. I purchased the single speed white ion Makita thinking that would do the trick, but no. The RPM are so high it was like a drill all the time, great build and torque though. This one while costing out the butt seems to fill the bill. It has half the torque of the white one but at least it can be controlled. The settings for torque are nice so you dont strip out delicate screws like in electronic stuff. The one thing I wish it had was the led light should stay on for a few seconds after being activated like the other makita tools. This one is just an on and off switch. Oh well what do you want for a hundren and eighty bucks huh. I still cant get over that fact. Oh well its done and it works and it will last a long time.

 "Saweeet!" 2009-11-08
By Justin Mytwocents (United States)
I am DIYer and take on everything from basement finishing to roof rebuilding. I build decks for neighbors and remodel kitchens for friends and their friends. I demand a lot from my tools and tend to do lot's of research when buying them. I replaced a Panasonic 6450 with this drill. The Panasonic was an awesome drill and it's replacement was to have a very high bar to clear. I can say this drill sets a new standard. It has performed to the same level as the Panasonic, but it is both lighter and shorter, (the two features that influenced my decision) The batteries charge quicker, but this is just an observation since I never ran into the problem of having both batteries out of juice with the Panasonic. The next battery was always waiting before I could run the out the other. Nothing has stood out to dislike with the Makita, and based on my experience with Makita and the drill so far I give it full marks.

 "GREAT drill!" 2009-07-29
By Method2Madness (Hampton Roads, VA)
I have this kit along with the Makita BDF452HW kit and love them both to pieces. Both are solid performers in every sense of the word and are very light as well. I have worked the crap out of both of them and they just keep asking for more. You simply cannot go wrong with either of these drills.



That being said the only difference between this kit (BDF452) and the BDF452HW is the color(white vs blue), the plastic grip around the chuck, and the batteries. The BDF452HW includes 1.5 ampere hour batteries, where this kit includes the 3.0ah batteries, offering twice the runtime. If you can deal with a shorter, but still surprisingly good, runtime, you can save about $100 and go with the BDF452HW.



Either way, expect a great tool that should last for many years to come.



(PS- There were those who had battery issues, but apparently Makita has worked them out, as I have 8 Makita LiOn power tools for over a year and have had no issues whatsoever with battery longevity.)

 "Excellent drill for the price, but be careful with some things..." 2009-08-14
By S. Bilal Hassan (MD USA)
After six years of heavy use, this drill would have been still going strong if it wasn't for a few things.



First, never, ever, tighten the chuck down with one hand, like you can with one-sleeve chucks. A co-worker of mine borrowed this drill and tried doing so, repeatedly, and the chuck made horrible grinding noises as the rear sleeve and the front sleeve worked against each other. The chuck doesn't grip well anymore. It loosens up repeatedly in the middle of easy drilling through 2x4s.



But for the six years that it did work, it worked perfectly, and with the original set of batteries, too.



Buy it and use it carefully. You will not regret it. It beats every other competitor for the price and utility, hands down.

Just got it a couple of weeks ago. So far no problems. I got the model with the light which runs on the same battery as the drill. The light cover needs to be screwed on tightly to work properly. Best feature: the only cordless drill I could find actually made in the USA. Even if it was made in Japan as some of their models are, I'd rather give them my money than companies that ignore their conscience and give their business to China.

FIRST OF ALL SHOW ME ANOTHER DRILL THAT HAS THE 4 FUNCTION FEATURE. . . . yea I didn't think you could, so bravo for Makita on that important point. If you don't care about doing an efficient project don't worry about getting this tool. I love efficient and streamlined work so naturally I enjoy this product from Makita. I have used this drill on a daily basis for about 2 years give or take in commercial enviornments and I am satisfied with what I have purchased, the ability to both hammer drill and impact drive in one light, slightly inconveninet package (and I only say that because the difficult gear changing). With this drill you sacrifice some power and tork but the benifits depend on your specific use each day. On most days I did not need to bring any other drill, once in a while I would have to bring my 454 Makita to do heavy penetrations (like one inch holes through concrete) but on an all around regular use day I only needed this tool.



Hey you have to get the right bits for this tool, duaa! Lowes carries 1/4" drive masonry bits and they are not that expensive and if you have some brains in your scull you can figure out that the bosch concrete ancor drive kit has a toob with a 1/4" drive socket in one end and a socket on the other end that will drive tap-cons (concrete screws I think they are usually 5/16") any way once you get all this together you can move fast on many projects only having to carry one drill.



This drill will not do well if you try to use it on structual concrete (high density) and you can not use a chuck adaptor to hammer drill, the drive function is not enough to hammer the assembly. Step bits in the adaptor are ok but again you have less tork (though there are two drilling speeds so really it's like a 5 function drill) so I have an old step bit that I used on impact setting and that gets through most stuff. The gear shifting is something that Makita really needs to work on. It is hard to shift nice and clean to get the function you want but after you get good at fighting and trouble shooting this obstical it is a minor glitch in an otherwise fast and smooth day of drill/driving.



On a high rise building where you are climbing multiple flights of stairs with all your tools daily this drill is a must have because you only have to worry about one drill not an impact driver and a drill, less to lose and less weight to carry. If this drill will fit your specific task and you use it daily it is well worth the money and I can't wait for a smoother shifting slighly more powerful model from Makita, an awsome drill non the less.

Best Makita tool I have ever purchased. I don't have to change to a drill or any function, this tool have everything, I use it almost every day. It paid for it's self already even my wife says so. Purchasing another tool will not be necessary.

This is it. The perfect tool. Four tools in one. Light weight.Has hook to hang from your belt or high up on ladder. I retired all my other drills, hammerdrills, screwdrivers, impact drivers. Super.

I build custom furniture therefore, I use a screw gun every working day. I need a screw gun that can use every concieveable drill bit plus all the screw bits. Buying as an asserory a ball-dent chuck to increase the versitility of a tool that cost twice as much as a drill that has a keyless chuck as a standard is like an insult to someone who uses tools profestionally. I think Makita is looking for the rich hobbyest who will buy any gadget. Also, the bag is really cheep.

Very happy with this expensive drill. Use it for work installing drape rods, window blinds etc... so the usage isn't that heavy. Have used it drilling into cement and tile a few times with the hammer drill and works well. The drill light is a big benefit since the lighting situations indoors, can be dim. On the driver setting, I would like to see the torque settings changed so that the highest setting would result in more torque. Without this I have to use it on the drill setting to get screws tight sometimes and this can cause a snapped hex heads from the unadjustable high torque.
