I also have one and LOVE it. I've got 2 Makita driver
drills, plus the 6916 impact driver. Guess which one I most
often reach for? Love the light weight, coupled with
extreme power. I haven't had too much trouble dealing with
control, although the first couple of times I squeezed the
trigger I thought it would "get away from me".

After seeing a posting here a while back I bought a Makita 6916 impact
driver/drill. This thing is great as a screw driver. It is one of the
best that I've used. I'd like a bit more control at the slower speeds
but can get used to it as it is.
