But I love my 18 vlt makita, especially since I got 2 new batteries for early Christmas present.

Maybe thats my answer.........................

Loosening up in reverse seems to be a hazard of keyless chucks... My Makita and DeWalt do the same thing, same with the cheap-o Coleman I bought for half the price of a battery for the Makita...
