Makita Cordless
Drills
The name Makita is well known in the power-tool market circles
today. The company has a long history since it started as a
power tool company back in 1910 when it embarked on repair
works for motors, transformers and lighting equipment. By 1958,
Makita became a well-established power tool company when they
started marketing the electric planner in Japan. This long
history signifies their capability in production of first grade
tools such as the Makita cordless drill.

Professionals in many countries prefer Makita
cordless drills. This has been so due to various reasons.
First, the drills are of high quality, which makes them very
reliable. Their relative low cost is another factor that serves
to strengthen their popularity. Finally, the drills offer
versatility to the user. For instance, the drill can be used as
a screwdriver too.
Different models of the
Makita cordless drills
The
Makita cordless drill is not a single product but various
models all with different features and functionality but
sharing the cordless functionality. The drills are offered in
different categories such as the cordless driver drills,
cordless hammer driver drills and the cordless impact drills.
Some of the most popular models of these cordless drills are
the Makita 6261DWPE which has a great modern design. This drill
is not intended for performance of very heavy
tasks.
The drill
has a keyless chuck and a two-stage all-metal planetary
gearbox. To cap it all the drill is provided at affordable
prices. There is also the 6270DWPE cordless drill with 16-speed
torque control. The drill also has an engine break system and
an ergonomic grip. This drill is also made for home use. For
professionals, the 6271DWPE and 6271DWPLE Makita cordless
drills are a great choice. This is because they are made to
handle tough jobs and allow the use of drill bits with large
diameters.
Functionality
Makita
cordless drill uses NiMH battery technology as the primary
stored power source. This gives it a longer run time than other
drills using the ordinary NiCad technology. The drill is also
first class in terms of functionality with some of the models
having the pistol grip from behind. This makes the drill
comfortable when drilling or wrapping screws. However the only
down the bulk of the other models have a handle located at the
center of the tool, which ensures that you do not get tired
easily as you use the tool. This also increases accuracy and
comfort. Perhaps that is why Makita opted for this design in
most of its tools.
The grip
surface is also covered with elastomer, which is also roughened
to secure the grip. Since the power of the cordless
drills is determined by the battery size, the availability of
larger capacity batteries with the Makita cordless drills makes
them perfect. For instance the 18V battery some of the models
produces enough power for most of the home projects. This
battery is also of a relative size that is not too big to cause
any inconvenience.
