Hi clicon357,
You're right about the gearbox issues ( I've started one thread) apparently it's aknown problem along with trigger failure and also the uncanny ability to suck in more dust than you would believe which gums up the brushes .
I'm trying to get a repair from Makita but they want to see the units first before pricing it.
Looking at the latest Bosch ( GSB 18 VE-2-LI 18v) the one with the all metal chuck , at least with them if you register online you get 3 years warranty and the torque is stated at 85nM's 5 more than the Makita.
Cheers,
Lofty
