Replacement Drill

Best Heavy duty 1/2″ Drill !!
The ONLY real heavy duty 1/2″ drill in this price range.Tried other name brands (red) broke first day reversing stuck drill bit in 3″ steel.
The Makita has great designed key to shaft chuck. Others(red) are held by small bolt, breaks and chuck untreads from shaft when
loaded in reverse.I researched design online before I bough, and the Makita DS4000 was the drill I needed.

unexpected
I have been using this drill to mix thinset mortar for the past 4 months. I have no complaints. I burned out my 6 year old Dewalt drill one morning and this drill was the only thing available for immediate use. I’m glad it was. I had initial sticker shock when i heard the price, but this drill is far superior to my last.
A metal housing? are you serious? i thought they stopped making tools this well. The 12″ grab bar is a nice feature because this drill packs a tremendous amount of torque. It makes mixing a thick bucket of cement easier.
This is an excellent tool for the professional who needs this kind of power day in and day out. I would say it is a little it overkill for the DIY crowd or a once in a while user.
i reserve the last star for durability. So far so good.
