		 I've got a pair of Makitas.  The older ones with the 9.6 volt stick batteries.  One is variable speed, and the other is two speed.  I upgraded the VS one with a 1/2" capacity keyless chuck, and put the 3/8" keyless chuck on the two-speed unit.  Other than some NiMh batteries bought on eBay last year, those two drills are still serving me well, and I went into business over 10 years ago. 
 
If I needed to replace them, I'd buy Bosch, but not because the Makitas haven't given me great value.
