I was quite excited seeing and using tool on the job site,a cabinet installer recommended it to me.
I did not examine his case carefully so i was EXTREMELY disappointed in the poor design, engineering, and materials used in the production of the case.
To start from the outside, the shiny silver covering reminiscent of abs high impact plastic is actually a thin Mylar like film which arrived dented, bubbled and apparently detached from the substrate. The corner reinforcements are purely decorative, and what rigidity the case does have seems to be provided by the thin aluminum frame.
When i opened the case i was further disappointed. the foam is not high density and the tools are not held in the case securely, which is the entire reason for a case. . .
While an empty box is good for packing in drill indexes and accessories, this so called case, appears to protect the tools while in actuality, leaves the tools loose to rattle around with out interior stays or matching foam to hold the drill/drivers in place, on the top half of the case.
Regardless of the fact the "drill" does not come with a chuck (hello open your eyes) or that the product information is poorly written and on the cheapest newsprint i have ever seen, lacking diagrams or part indexes.
I immediately returned the tool for refund.
I'm hoping to have better luck with the Panasonic, i understand they build the motors for Makita, and certifiably in my experience, engineer the cases much better with actual thought as well as quality.Get more detail about
