I use my Makita drill a significant amount. Right now I’m using it instead of a hand crank on my case trimmer (for reloading ammunition; I’m a moderate volume shooter). I’ve had it for nearly a decade. Yeah, I’ve replaced the batteries twice, and now have the higher capacity ones. But the drill is still holding up. The Festool Rotex disc sander I’ve got is easily the best sander that I’ve used.
You’ve never bought a $30 drill, have you?
