Title: stripped gears
Review: I bought this cordless drill two years ago in a kit that included a flashlight, two batteries and a case. It has all the features I need in a tool like this: quick stop, good torque, light weight, two speeds, quickly rechargeable batteries. However, today it shot craps during a routine driving of long wood screws. I'm sure from the symptoms that the gears are stripped in one spot. I use the makita frequently but only for home projects and woodworking, not as a professional. So it should last much longer than two years. I will atempt to buy a replacement gear assembly and put it back in service but I cannot recommend the tool based on this experience. I've noticed at least one other review citing the same failure mode so it must be a design deficiency.
