Donna, In January last year you posted, "We have a Maktec drill and a Maktec belt sander. We work almost exclusively with ironbark. I will try and revisit this thread in a few months and report on how they are fairing. At the moment I think they are great, they have a strong feel to them."
Do you have time to give us your opinion now, please?

The sander is still doing well, it is a strong heavy tool, I find I really have to hang on to it and can't sand as long as I could with our old Makita. (mind you the Mactec is a 100 x 610 and the Makita was a 75 x 610) I am very happy with it.
The drill is also a heavy tool, and this is the only complaint I have with it. Still going strong and we are not gentle on our tools.
