Just tried the link to HD for this tool and it said ” tool not currently available”! What’s up with that??

Does anyone know anything about the Makita 10.8 combo offerd by HD? I’m in the market for a new drill/driver. I figure a combo might be a wa to go.

I have had a pair of these in my scene shop since October and we are wondering how we lived without them. They are really useful in tight spaces!

I LOVE my Bosch PS40-2A. I need to get a bit-kit for it, Im thinking either the bosch one that has a chuck, or a dewalt one with a pivoting bit holder

The Bosch PS30 is pretty looks like another good option. It’s going for about $150, but the extra $50 gets you the two speed transmission the R82007 lacks. Bosch also has the option of other tools based on the battery platform. That warranty sounds very nice though…

I also own one. It’s superb. More torque than my now unused 14v Dewalt, and the charge lasts longer. I bought it over the similar Bosch, Milwaukee because of the chuck.

I bought one of these this past early summer. It’s the best tool I could have, I do General Maintenance for a fairly large facility. This drill is the most used tool I own. Like Jared said, I wish it had a dual speed, however. Also an indicator on the batteries would be nice since they are Li-Ion so you don’t get the slowed down speed like with NiCads. It also has a “life time” warranty which is valid as long as the registerer owns the tool. Absolutely awesome other then that.

I own one of the larger Ridgid drills and just recently bought this little guy and I absolutely love it. Small, light, and powerful. I just wish they would have added a dual speed setting like on the larger drills.
