Review on Makita XPH11ZB Lithium Ion Sub Compact Driver Drill: Power-Packed Performance in a Compact Size by Chris Pettway

Small drill with hammer! It has quite a bit of torque for such a small tool - I have a similar sized B&D but it's no comparison. When I received the tool I thought it was defective as there is a 1/8 inch gap between the chuck and the case/power selector ring. Look at the pictures, it's obvious that this gap is "intentional". Why? I do not know. Looks "unfinished" but does not affect the operation of the drill. I'm happy with my purchase, especially considering the reasonable price of $83.
