I would have given it 5 stars, except that it needs more amp power. 4.9 amp is a bit weak for certain drilling chores

This drill works very well, is lightweight for a corded drill and has a good feel to it. I’ve had a corded Makita drill before and gave it away as I replaced it with a cordless drill, now it’s time to go back to the corded version. I haven’t had this drill very long but it feels like it will last a long time as my other Makita had. The only negative is that I wish they wouldn’t paste the label on the case as they do, I didn’t want it there and it took a bit of effort to remove.

the makita 6408k is an exceptional performer and value. the reason i purchased it is because my original makita died after 36 years of hard and consistent work.bill

I purchased this drill to replace my first drill, a Makita that I bought in 1988. It is a straight-forward, no frills drill. I like the upgrade from the old fashioned wrench-type to the new hand tightening chuck.

I have always wanted a Makita and finally I got one for my birthday. Love that this doesn’t need a key to change the bits. It is not too heavy and I know it will last for a long time.

This drill is great because you don’t have to worry about charging it; just plug it in and go. It is powerful and does what it’s supposed to do.

After searching the website for the characteristics I was looking for in an electric drill, this drill surpassed them all.It is lightweight; easy to handle; very quiet and has lots of power. It is everything you could ask for in an electric drill. And, as if this isn’t enough, it is manufactured in the USA!
