Tools and Hardware Reviews of Makita BDF452HW 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-Inch Driver-Drill Kit

Customer Review: Fantastic Makita Drill
Summary: 5 Stars

Makita BDF452HW LXT 18v Drill (3.5 lbs with battery), 3 year warranty (battery 1-year only... Makita did a great job. I also bought a Hitachi DS18DFLPC 18-Volt Lithium Ion Drill Kit $187.99 (3.8 lbs with battery). it comes with a 5-year warranty for both battery and drill.

I used both Drills side-by side to install air conditioning system and window coverings too. And to test the power, comfort and performance of each drill set. note: many user have complained and about the Makita Lithium-ion Battery failure. Have had no such experience yet, also many of these complains were on batteries made 2 or more years ago. I wondered if these batteries were made in China. The NEWER BATTERIES are made in Japan ONCE AGAIN perhaps to bring back QUALITY CONTROL that so many companies have outsourced to make more profit using cheap labor. Anyway, I Liked the feel of both drills equally. However the Chuck on the Makita is superior, the Hitachi often had slippage with some bits. This is a very important issue. The Makita had superior Power (450 pft vs 374 pft) for the Hitachi. Game Over. I returned the Hitachi DS18DFLPC 18-Volt Lithium Ion Drill Kit to Costco where I purchased it for $99.99
