Jump to unread Post a CommentMakita is one of the best you can get, it may only be 12v but it will out perform cheaper 24v drills. :thumbsup:
This has an all metal 2 speed gearbox and a 30 minute fast charger.
Max torque is 36nm (compare that with other drills) , you won't need another drill unless you're doing heavy work in masonry.
highly recommend them and this is a great deal.
very tempted to get myself another one

I was asking more along the lines, of how does it compare with the other Makita offers that have been posted in the past.
I assume the case and drill bits aren't Makita, as it doesn't look as good as the Makita drawer set on other sites.
Is it worth waiting for another 8xxx offer or will the 6270 be a good drill for around the house tasks etc. Also how long do the batteries tend to last as 1.3Ah seems quite small (I know you have 2 batteries...)

The 6270 is perfect for around the house and the batteries are more than adequate.
The chest and bits are Makita as far as i can see, chests vary in quality. :)
This is the 14.4v version on the Makita site, looks like the same accessories.

True but 3.5Ah would be wasted for diy use, 1.3Ah or 2Ah is fine.
Agree about Panasonic though, great drills. :thumbsup:

This is a fantastic deal and I am very tempted but have spent so much on tools lately!
Yeah you will be corrected! First of all Makita only make trade professional tools so they would not use inferior batteries. They have some side offerings from Maktec and Site but they come no where near. NiCd are not for DIY, they were the industry standard until NiMH came about. You still cant beat NiCD for power though, although NiMH are close and Li-Ion are nowhere near. The only reason I moved to NiMH is because the charge cycling for NiCDs are not so great and require far more maintenance. Although they will definitely be around for a long while yet. For a good compromise use NiMH. Li-Ion come last and if anything they would be for DIY in my books.
For your information batteries are more important than the actual power tools. I dont care if my bare drill bodies get lost its the batteries I look after. Batteries are what powers the power tool and I'd say 80% performance from the actual battery.
Wouldn't it just be cheaper to buy a new drill with 2 batteries??

It's not likely to be important to those of you who are using power tools all day every day in your job, but for those of us who are infrequent DIYers, it's a pain when you pick up that drill/screwdriver/whatever to do a job and you find that you have to charge the battery first. Li-Ion gets over this problem.[/COLOR]
I have this exact set, and yes they are genuine makita bits, made in Japan - NOT CHINA. The quality of these bits are as good as they get, which is really what makes this deal stand out for me. I paid around 75 quid for this last year, and built my house in the Czech Republic with it - well installed the huge kitchen, 3 x bedroom furniture sets, did the wiring, put up shelves on solid concrete walls etc etc, and this drill was more than good enough for anything i could throw at it.
As for the battery, from completely flat to fully charged takes around 25 minutes, and i doubt any home user with flatten the other in that space of time. As for a tradesman, also highly unlikely.
As far as i see it, this is an investment, ie You could use it for many years and still get half your money back for it on flebay. You cant do that with some B+Q own brand rubbish....
If you are thinking about buying it .... Just buy it. Youll be oh so glad you did.
So why do DIY stores sell 'em then?
Same drill, seems better value.
