Michael, I bought the Makita drill/impact driver kit at Home Depot about 3 years ago. It does get heavy use but I ain't buying any suggestion that at $200 for the kit I should consider it a throw away tool. The chuck is crap, the runout is ridiculous and getting worse. I'm looking for a new drill. Your money, your choice.

I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
