Review on 🔧 Enhance Efficiency with the Makita 6302H 2 Inch Variable Reversible Drill by Walter Velasquez

This is my second 6302H. I bought the first one in 1990 and used it extensively in drywall giving it a solid 18 year run with 5 gallons of lots of regular dirt and super hard Durabond. He never blinked. Never smells like a hot engine, even on an extension cord. The size-to-power ratio of this thing is what makes it such a valuable tool. Of course they come in bigger and with higher amps, but then they're huge and very awkward to pack, fit in the spike holes, and fit in a reasonably sized toolbox. So last week without warning he smoked pfff, GRIND, and died. I took it apart and the expensive looking parts were chewed up and broken. Maybe it could be repaired, but probably at least half the price of new. So I decided that 25 years is a good run. I broke it and started buying. I've researched fairly carefully to see if anything new or notable has come up over the years. All of my research has ended with me being just glad to have another copy of the old lady. As a result, I couldn't find another device with the same or better specs and features for the money. It's perfect? no But it's pretty close. I recommend this not only to contractors but to you in the industry who have a keen eye for quality and want a cost effective solution to all of your drilling and mixing needs. As others have said it has terrible torque - so be careful. I lost my secondary grip early in the day and often as I rubbed my sore wrist wished I had it. For this iteration I won't be keeping it on all the time, but I won't lose it as I'm older and wiser too. Good flexible bungee cord of reasonable length, the reversing switch doesn't interfere but is present, VSR. Everything you need in a small, light and surprisingly powerful package. I don't usually give 5 stars to anything ---- I don't want to dampen the motivation --- but I'll make an exception for this little blue damn near-perfect tool.
