I was in the market for a new angle drill, and decided to purchase a more powerful AC "corded" drill, and chose Makita once again. My old 9.6V Makita angle drill served me well over the years. The power switch quit working in reverse, and though a replacement is available, the manufacturer no longer makes the 9.6 battery. It was time to make a move, and this was it.
This is extremely compact, with much more power and torque than its old battery powered brother. It appears that the insulation on the power cord is silicone, like you would find on high quality meter test leads. Someone had pointed out that the power switch is very easy to accidentally activate, so unplug it when changing bits. This long "paddle style" power switch does come in useful when in tight quarters.
Don't confuse Japanese quality with the stuff made in China, there is no comparison.
