Dewalt Vs Makita?

Question

18volt cordless drill.

which do you thinks better?

Answer 1

makita. i have owned both from 7.5 vlt to 18 vlt. makita has held up over years of use. dewalt can't  compete over time.

Answer 2

Dewalt without a doubt.

Answer 3

Bosch beats them both. Get a Bosch.

Answer 4

I will choose Dewal over the Makita any day Dewalt makes better products in general

Answer 5

Makita has proven itself to me, it lasts forever.

I would still make a long extension. Cordless drills are good for two years and then get expensive because the batteries start giving problems. I only get electric drills and make up extensions.

Answer 6

Dewalt is better in my eyes

Answer 7

Boy, that's a hard one. They're both top notch. Myself, I stick with DeWalt so I just have to keep up with one charger and set of batteries for all my cordless tools.

Answer 8

DeWalt is one of several recognizable tool brands made by Black and Decker. Others are Delta and Porter Cable. B&D brands are cheaper, OK for occasional use. If you pland on heavier or professional use, don't bother. Makita is a Japanese brand, but now made in a new factory in the USA. They are high quality, long lasting.... and more expensive. Makita, like Bosch, are high ends brands which will do a better job and last a long, long time.
