Hey all,
Mike and I had a chance to review the latest 18V Makita Drill that’s been making a buzz due to it’s big torque claims.
What do you think?

I know I wish I had a friend or the extra money to blow on it. I’ve been debating on whether to buy the H/Drill impact combo to do a head to head with the Milwaukee Fuel.
I am very interested in how they both perform. I have the Milwaukee set and am super happy with its performance but longevity still needs a few more years to make its mark.
That’s crazy you got one so quick! Good job guys. Good to see a 5.0 battery instead of the 4.0 that was listed.
Now you see why I like the DCD985
Great Review Dwain!
What the heck what was supposed to be a beast of a drill just ended up being the same as all the other tool companies heavy duty brush less drills. I wonder why the overload protection is so sensitive. I would get annoyed if it was cutting in that often. Man I was excited about this new drill and impact driver Makita was releasing.
Thanks all! It was a fun tester… and they are readily available in Australia. Picked it up at my local hardware store.
and now it’s time to eat some humble pie 🙁 our original results seem to be erroneous, it is one serious tool!
I’ve edited the original post with the new video.
