Tools and Hardware Reviews of Makita 6011DWE2 3/8-Inch Cordless Driver-Drill Kit, 2-Speed, Variable Speed, ReversibleCustomer Review: Oldie But Goodie Summary: 4 Stars
Yes, this is an older tool. I have had mine for what must be about ten years. For six of those years I have abused/dropped/thrown it almost daily. I ran into another older guy on a job last month who had the same one. Like me, he had been waiting for it to die so he could justify buying a new, bigger, sexier gun. Like me, he had been waiting for years. The damn thing is indestructable. Like a lot of Makita chargers, this one can be suspect, and I had to replace one. The best thing I have found is that with everyone going to 18+ volts, they are happy to give me their old 9 and 12 volt batteries. I have about 6 now. Some are tired, but I am NEVER without a juiced battery. Drives 3" screws fine, I attach a lot of 2x4's to hardwood floors, no big problem. If you consistently need more than 9 volts, you should probably use a corded tool anyway. The balance is not a problem if you use a holster, but it won't sit upright on the floor which is sometimes useful. It should be cheaper, this is the same price I paid when it was the new kid on the block. Not sure I would reccommend it over some of the great new guns, but if you are "hard on tools" and can pick one up cheap, you'll learn to love it.
