Makita 18V Li-Ion, 15 minute charge!

Dewalts Li-ion range is well overpriced

Dewalts Li-ion range is well overpriced

It's more like 20 mins but I haven't had one complaint with this one

in over 14months of use. Comparable use would be very heavy DIY use, not on a day to day basis. Very light and well balanced. Can be a bit of a pain when using the big drill bits as the mechanism to release can sometime leave you with a friction burnt palm!
But I assume that's the case for most grip release?
