I had a Hitachi drill, screwed the life out of it making some trusses, then I let it sit unused to long...battery died.
Got a Kawasaki drill at Sam's for a great price.
If I would keep the batteries charged they would last, but I forget to do that.
So the wife buys me a Makita drill combo for Xmas, and I'm thinking.....Ah yes, nother oriental drill !!!
But this one has the lithium ion batteries which I can't believe the difference in battery life, and they don't go dead sitting around like the previous types would.
I'm sure glad I have this type now because with so many battery run things around I need a pet monkey to go around and plug things in for charge. Ther's a cell phone,ipod, camera, 3 drills, 3 flashlights, trailer battery, 3 boat batteries, plus car, truck, and tractor batteries.
Sometimes drives me batty !!
