Makita BDF451
$180.00
Released October, 2005
The Pros:Runs very long on one charge. Works fast with a good amount of power behind it. Comfortable to work with, well balanced and ergonomic.
The Cons:No hammer mode is available, despite some descriptions to the contrary. Light doesn't point right at the place you're working on. Too easy to over-drive screws, even at the lowest setting.
