Looks pretty decent for the price. A year or so back I bought a cheaper
18v Makita drill for a small job thinking I could extend my kit later.
It turns out (here) that most Makita 18v tools will only work with the
1.5 or 3.0AH batteries, not the ones that came in my kit (1.1 LIon
without checking). I've ended up starting again with new batteries and
charger as to have the cordless circular saw - planer and multi-tool
to follow. $100 extra on a better drill in the first place would have
saved me twice this and more down the line.
