Overview
Driving screws and bolts is the job of this brushless cordless impact driver from Makita. It offers two speed ranges and variable trigger speed, and the listing names it as a kit with a lithium-ion battery.
The strength is high rated torque with a brushless motor on a battery platform that Makita buyers often already own. The weak point is the component list, which names only the unit and an instruction guide while the kit name implies more.
Who it's for
Fastening work such as framing, decking and general repair suits a driver with this much torque. Skip it if you mostly drill holes in wood or metal, since an impact driver is built for driving and has a chuck sized for hex bits.
Pros and cons
- High rated torque for driving fasteners
- Brushless motor design
- Two speed ranges plus variable trigger
- Lithium-ion battery power
- Component list does not show battery or charger
- Listed weight and size look like package data
- Compatible battery models not named
Performance notes
The brushless motor drives the anvil through an impact mechanism, so torque spikes help seat long fasteners without stalling. The lower speed range gives more control for starting screws, and the higher range clears them quickly. Run time depends on the battery capacity listed.
