The aggressive torque of Makita's super heavy-duty spade handle drill will meet any challenge with 9 amps of power and 500 rpm. We like that the D-handle can rotate 360 degrees, giving you a sure grip in any position. Another plus: the generous size of the trigger switch. And talk about generous--the foot-long pipe handle with its rubberized grip offers superb control and even better ergonomics. The all-metal motor housing built to take job site abuse, yet surprisingly lightweight at just under 9 pounds. Maintenance is minimal: just check the external carbon brushes periodically. With the Makita name, you know you're buying quality, and this workhorse will do the job for you for many years to come. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

I was searching for a replacement for my 25 year old all metal 1/2 inch drill (old one was stolen) when I saw the all metal makita on [...]. I have several Makita tools and I am very pleased with there quality. This drill is no exception. It has performed very well for me and I would recommed it to anyone.

I have been using this drill to mix thinset mortar for the past 4 months. I have no complaints. I burned out my 6 year old Dewalt drill one morning and this drill was the only thing available for immediate use. I'm glad it was. I had initial sticker shock when i heard the price, but this drill is far superior to my last.
A metal housing? are you serious? i thought they stopped making tools this well. The 12" grab bar is a nice feature because this drill packs a tremendous amount of torque. It makes mixing a thick bucket of cement easier.
This is an excellent tool for the professional who needs this kind of power day in and day out. I would say it is a little it overkill for the DIY crowd or a once in a while user.
i reserve the last star for durability. So far so good.
Best Heavy duty 1/2" Drill !! April 8, 2010
CD (USA)
The ONLY real heavy duty 1/2" drill in this price range.Tried other name brands (red) broke first day reversing stuck drill bit in 3" steel.
The Makita has great designed key to shaft chuck. Others(red) are held by small bolt, breaks and chuck untreads from shaft when
loaded in reverse.I researched design online before I bough, and the Makita DS4000 was the drill I needed.
