I have one, 'tis not too bad but the keyless chuck doesn't grip as good as it should & the batteries are not marvelous, fine while new but then they develope a bad habit of not holding a charge & eventually become impossible to recharge on the fast smart (dumb) charger that comes with it.
I operated on my charger & disabled some of its 'smart' functions.
Now it charges all the time without switching off but the led still changes colour when the battery is charged, I just have to keep an eye on it so I don't cook the battery.Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

Thanks Cliff,
I'll keep this in mind and if (when) the charger packs up I'll do the same.

Makita, Makita, Makita... But don't forget that they started making some models in china, and there have been negative reports, although I haven't any problems personally (yet)
Cheers, Richard
