What the heck is that? A drill without a Jacobs chuck, or an impact driver with a clutch like a drill? And it has a 14.4v Li Ion battery, I though they were only sending 18v tools to USA. I've got to brush up on my Japanese.
Speaking of, what's with the Japanese web site links now? There's no Makita America to peruse for the same stuff? How do we know what they have in Japan will be headed across the Pacific?
Ok, I'll just buy it and shut up about it.

I'm glad they're making a radio. I see theat they also have the battery two pack now for $159.00. Not a bad price considering what you get.

The carbide drill was used, in prepared hole opening job to the concrete.
I still don't understand it, but that doesn't make my desire for one any less.

Looks sweet. From what I gathered, it's a 2 speed, drill, hammer drill, impact driver with lithium ion capacity.
