How does your drill run? I have two and both are “rough” and on top speed vibrate to the point I don’t want to use them.
Had one serviced and got told its up to spec and normal. All the other lxt stuff runs smooth so whats your drill like?

There's a constant source of clean water for you to use, and all you have to do is collect it.

Are you talking about the 18volt li-ion hammer drill-driver? Because I just got mine back from service and they had to replace the gearbox, mine was one of 20 others getting the same part replaced. Might as well be a recall.
My chuck still seems to spin in an elliptical motion, making it hard to drill holes strait.
I had second and third speed on my Lithium Drill #### out. I got it back in less than a week, though.

My lxt hammer drill dropped second and third also. It was about a month old so a phone call, a 1/2 days work, 240 miles on my truck [i kind of live out in the sticks so to speak] and I had a new drill courtesy of The Home Depot. I feel like I should send makita a bill!
New drill sounds like it has gear back lash. While I am going on, is that light is in the wrong spot or what? Maybe I should have shopped a little bit harder!
Every other LTX runs smooth and nice! I have two drills and they sound rough and shake on speed 3. Going to be a recall.................
Mine did the same! My Bosch brucore broke also!
Both were about 6 months old.
Both were 15 minutes on the phone, then UPS did the driving.
I have nothing but good to say about both companys warranty policy- they send a new one, you put the broken in the box and send it back, its pretty easy.
wow that is nice... top notch
and to think ...
everyone wondered ... and some fought with me ...
when I said I wanted the non-hammer drill model.
no inside info there ... just thot ... why add one more thing to break.
same reason the Jeep and work truck have manual windows and door lucks!

Interesting-My 14.4 MXT has a 3 speed gearbox and I lost 3rd gear -I wonder if These problems are inherent to the 3 speed gearbox. I loved that it had 450 in. lbs of torque compared to my 2 speed makita that only has 350. Don,t know if i would buy another 3 speed drill though...
