Great for every job.
I purchased this makita drill a few weeks ago and the makita name lives up to its reputation. Very reliable, a long life on the battery's. Its great value for such a high end drill. Versatile in the jobs you can do with it drill through brick and concrete with ease and fires srews in with no trouble. Highly recommend this package.

Fine for driving screws or boring wood/metal etc.
Fine for driving screws or boring wood, metal etc. but don't even attempt using this on hammer action on anything harder than breeze block. Barely made a dent on red brick (with a brand new, quality, masonry drill). I should have known better, from past experience of DIY grade battery guns, than to try, but, I hoped it would, at least, cope with 5.5mm to save me taking out a heavier duty drill. Understand it's limitations & it's a fine enough product.
