Since first introduced over thirty years ago, Makita has been making cordless drills. They have been at the forefront of cordless drill technology because they were one of the first companies to introduce a cordless drill to the world. Since that first introduction in the late 1970’s, the Makita cordless drill has come to mean quality in the power tool industry and innovation as far as new technology as well. People expect new things from the Makita cordless drill and at this point Makita has not disappointed them.  Every year Makita adds new features to the Makita cordless drill making them easier and more efficient to work with and the newest crop of features is no exception to that long standing tradition. 

One problem with cordless drills in the past was the huge size required to accomodate an 18 volt battery. Makita cordless drill has been able to compact the power of an 18 volt power package into the size of the covenient 12 volt variety. It is a lithium-ion technology that allows the Makita cordless drill to become even more compact and easy to use than before while delivering more power for a longer period of time. It was certainly a break through and the Makita cordless drill was one of the first brands on the market to feature this innovation in cordless power tool battery technology.

Built For The Big Jobs

The Makita cordless drill also managed to fit a 4 pole torque system into their new compact drills that allows maximum power in a space that is compact and easy to work with.  The motor is supported by two ball bearings which not only helps deliver more consistent thrust but it also adds to the life of the motor that can add durability to your Makita cordless drill.  The new drills are almost 40% smaller than previous models and can bring an unbelievable amount of power into the palm of your work glove.

The new model has a bigger fan which gives the motor an extended life. Repair costs and time are reduced as repairs to the new drills are easier to swap out than previously. All around the new Makita cordless drill line is an impressive conquest of engineering for Makita and the customer.
