The Makita 9.6v battery is still on the shelf at most hardware and tool supply stores it was a great tool then and is still a good tool now. Don't throw caution into the wind set your sail so you know where you'll be in 5 years. Will the parts and accessories, like batteries, be around for a while? I had a DeWalt 12v cordless drill that didn't offer any accessories, and the batteries were hard to find after 5 years, just when you need them. ![]() The flashlight that works with that 9.6v battery is awesome and will blow away any 3d cell mag light.

The light is bright and completely lit the work area at the front of the drill.Īnother nice feature of this drill is the flat-bottomed battery. This feature will also be great when working under a dash or in the trunk of a vehicle. It also aided me when working under my porch in a low-light situation. This feature was very handy when it started to get dark, and light was limited. The cordless drill has a led ( light-emitting diode) light mounted under the drill chuck. ![]()
