Review on πŸ’ͺ Makita 6408: Powerful 4.9 Amp 8 Inch Drill for Superior Performance by Matt Ellis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent drill, suitable for power tools and hand tools

If you use it for its intended purpose. 5 stars all day. This is a drill, not a screwdriver. Threading screws into tight pilot holes gets a bit tricky as they have too much power and no grip so you can't adjust them much. by drilling pilot holes and then using my battery powered Hitachi to drive in the screws. Switching between them will make the work 3 or 4 times shorter. That being said, if you don't have a separate driver, you can certainly tighten the screws. With this guy you have to be careful not to tear off the screw head.

Pros
  • Large start switch for easy operation
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
