Contractors find Makita's 18-volt, 1/2-inch cordless drill/driver, which exerts up to 404 inch-pounds of torque, a big-job powerhouse. Its two speed settings, 450/1,400 rpm, and 18 clutch positions allow plenty of options for tackling just about any job site challenge. Many folks think Makita's tip-up design is more ergonomically friendly than straight designs because it's easier to use overhead or at shoulder height. The legendary Makita motor is geared for extended use in tough job site conditions and is designed so the brushes can be replaced easily from the outside--a handy feature you won't find with every drill/driver on the market. As with most 18-volt tools, this 5-1/2-pound drill feels a bit weighty in the hand and we wouldn't recommend it as the best choice for working overhead for an extended period of time. However, if you're looking for serious power, this drill's got your number.
