Makita Cordless Drill - Quality And Power


One of the leading manufacturers of top quality power tools is Makita. The Makita company has been doing business for over fifty years and is one of the trusted power tool manufacturers. They manufacture a wide range of tools that can be used by the casual home owner to the professional construction worker who requires rugged and durable high powered tools. That reputation has lead to the success of the company.

Makita produces a product for every skill level of tool user. There are a lot of different types of cordless drills to review in this article. I am going to focus on the 18V line of drills because they are the standard for use by professionals and casual users because the 18V power provides the power and charge time needed to do the very toughest of jobs. In the 18V line there are a number of cordless drills including the regular drill, the hammer drill, and the 4 function impact driver.

The regular cordless driver is the most affordable of Makita's cordless drills. It is a strong and durable drill that can handle a lot of regular drilling tasks. The second drill is the hammer drill. It falls in the middle of the price category of cordless drills. It is a step up from the regular cordless drill. Offering the ability to use the drill the more challenging applications where a regular drill will not be able to perform the job. The hammer drill offers the extra power for drilling into extra hard surfaces such as concrete, masonry, and granite. These types of surfaces provide a much too strenuous challenge to the regular drill.

The third drill in Makita's arsenal of power tools is the 4 function impact driver cordless drill. This drill is also a more expensive line of drill because of the versatility that it offers. It is really an all in one solution for a broad range of challenging tasks. With the 4 function impact driver drill you get an impact, hammer, driver, and drill all in one tool for all different trades and job types. The drill delivers maximum torque that allows for driving lag bolts, drilling screws into a variety of surfaces, and conquering concrete, masonry, and granite surfaces. Depending on the application all of these drills are worthy of the investment and all that is needed is the right accessories.

Choosing the right accessories is very important when purchasing a new drill. Without the right accessories it is impossible to maximize the investment made in purchasing top quality tools. Accessories would include extra batteries, chargers, drill bits, screw bits and nut drivers, augers, and boring sets. Makita produces a wide variety of pricing options and an accessory product to support the tools in every application. The lithium ion battery line is one of the industry leaders for power and performance. Major competitors for Makita are Dewalt, Black And Decker, and Stanley. Not many others can hold their own with Makita because of their reputation for quality and excellence and that reputation has been parleyed into a very successful company.
