Is it just me or have Makita gone downhill? I have the 12V drill driver which is about two years old and the chuck on it is rubbish as it often loses it's grip driver and drill bits and the batteries don't seem to hold their charge for long! In comparison I have another Makita drill driver which is 9.6V and the batteries can last up to three weeks without a charge. Not only this but one of the batteries is the same age as the driver which is 15 years! :shock: Both of them are Ni Cad batteries too. The chuck on the old Makita is still going strong and never loses it's grip. What are the latest Makita Li Ion drivers like do they have the same chuck and do the batteries last much longer? :roll:
