2nd job and it's broken
I bought it 7 months ago and last week was the 3rd day using it. Still looking new and ready for the recycling bin. The head that hold the bit collapsed and a piece of screw came off. I contacted Makita 1800# and they wanted me to travel 50 miles round trip to the shop for a free repair plus the waiting time. Definitely, I won't and don't recommend this.
