This is good info because my needs are likely different than Melon's or others here from the standpoint of not being under powered, or wasting money on a tool that is beyond your needs. When I bought my Makita it was with the purpose of building a heavy wooden staircase for an outdoor deck on lake property. So I really need a medium or heavy duty drill for that purpose, but for most of my home use it is probably more than I need.

Well I like the idea of not having to worry about the memory or depth charge with the nanos so i dont have to keep recharging ( that can cost a lot more than the initial cost of the batteries over the long term ) esp if your using the tool a lot.
Does your drill adjustable clutch on it Steve ?
I don't know much about it but someone else on another forum seemed to think i could use that I I could use it to limit the speed , as I'm looking ideally to try to get constant low speed ( 42 rpm min - unloaded ) it would be really useful.
