Tools and Hardware Reviews of Makita DA3010F 4 Amp 3/8-Inch Right Angle Drill with LED Light
Customer Review: Very powerful, nice angle drill
Summary: 4 Stars
This drill was used while finishing a basement, especially boring through floor joists and 2x4's to install wiring.
It was more than powerful enough and the LED proved to be more than a novelty - it ws very handy when sticking the drill into tight spots!
The only knock I have against it is the same for all Makita drills: the chuck will not stay tightened for more than a few minutes and continually has to be retightened. My Milwaukee, Sears and DeWalt drills all stay tight without applying gorilla-torque.
Other than that, this is a very good and easy to control tool.
Customer Review: Worth every penny
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a nice right angle drill for tight quarters. This fills the bill quite nicely.
The drill is beafy yet is compact. It has great torque and is comfortable to operate. I can vary the speed to my taste and the light is indespensible in those dark corners where the drill is used most.
The quality is high. This machine is built with years of service in mind.
After spending lots of money on cheap drills, I found this purchase most satisfying.
I highly recommend this tool
Customer Review: great problem solver
Summary: 5 Stars
Great value, lots of torque, fits into amazingly small spaces, excellent speed control. Just be careful to unplug the cord before attempting to tighten or loosen the chuck. The paddle style trigger is easy to press accidentally if you're not paying attention.Customer Review: happy
Summary: 5 Stars
This drill is worth the money. One safety precaution: be sure to unplug it before changing bits.Customer Review: mixed feelings
Summary: 3 Stars
Put in a sharp auger bit and drill holes in the joists, and everything is nice and easy. The key chuck is a little awkward though. Accidentaly touch the large paddle switch while changing the bit, and then start looking for the nearest hospital. I have worked as a builder for decades, and have used just about every power tool on the market. This is the first time I have ever been harmed by one. This is a flawed design, the tool should have a safety switch. Beware.
