I had a bit of a mini revelation. My Makita drill which never breaks is so old it's just worn out. Since I already bought Ryobi batteries for the chain saw and blower I think I will buy the Ryobi drill. The thing with Makita and other hi end brands is they never break-they just get worn out so one never gets to the point of having to replace them. I can but 3 Ryobi drills for the price of the Makita drill and never be using a worn out tool.
