Product Description
Tool size
and volts don’t always tell you the whole story. Take this
drill/driver, for example: It’s downright little, weighing in
under 6 pounds, and it measures out at a tad over 9 inches. What a cute
little drill, you say? Stand back – this cute little drill
packs a monster 450 in./lbs. of ripping torque, more than a fair number
of bigger, beefier drills we’ve had the pleasure of using.
What’s not to love, with all that power
tucked into such a small, light, easy-on-your-body package? And
there’s awesome speed, too, with a three-tier system that
offers 0 to 300 rpm in low range, 0 to 600 in mid-range and a top
spread of 0 to 1,700 rpm in third speed, to suit whatever material
you’re drilling or driving into. Sometimes, you may encounter
a little resistance if you’re switching from low gear to
high; if that happens, running the tool in mid-gear for a couple
seconds completely alleviates any snag.
We probably don’t have to tell you about
Makita quality; their tools are made to last. The gear transmission
here is all metal; the locking ratcheting chuck grabs bits like super
glue; brushes are easily accessible for routine maintenance and reduced
down time; the reversing switch has a center neutral position that
functions as a lock-off for safety. They’ve even put a lot of
thought into the design of the grip; it’s rubberized and
feels great in hand. Even the balance is perfect.
