Review on 🔌 Makita DP4000 2-Inch Drill with High Amp Power by Eric Ramen

After my trusty 20-year-old Makita 6303 died (operator error, I) I needed a corded 1/2-inch drill bit. The contractor who worked for me bought a fake HF hole shooter and I laughed at him. It broke in half with a shovel within minutes (literally lucky it wasn't cut with plastic). Then he bought a 1/2" Milwaukee Holeshooter (Milwaukee 0234-6 Magnum) which although made in China was quite nice. Good size and smooth. The only downside to this drill was that the trigger was so long that it was almost impossible to let go of the trigger, not the grip, if you got into trouble (which happens with those powerful drills and spades). So I bought one of these. But mine made a bad gear rattle noise (spotty QC in Chinese imo- tools) so I returned it I haven't used it much yet but my first impressions are very positive Pros: Very very smooth Fantastic slow to fast trigger control Very comfortable grip and hand positioning Pretty light considering that the chuck action is smooth and the chuck key is not large and fits most of my other Makita drills, even the 3 handle The /8 is great, and the easy on and off d filing and the many positions are very convenient in contrast to the usual screw knobs. no problem, the cord doesn't change as easily as a Milwaukee (although I'm not sure I actually consider that a minus point), pretty much after the barrel as you'd expect based on the sluggishness of a drill of this size, so that's not a problem at all. This drill is not designed for conventional screws. Slight wobble in the cartridge. So far I don't think that will be a problem. So it's even better and more industrial than I expected, with the exception of a very slight chuck runout (I'm pretty picky with tools). Joy in hand and a big step up from my 6303 which I really liked until I got this drill. I would add that I chose this drill bit partly because I wanted something that could spin at least 850 RPM so smaller bits could be used. If a person needs even more grunt and control at extremely low speeds, they should consider power drills with a top speed of, say, 550 rpm.
