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.

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.
