TyMonk Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 I’ve found a need for a multi head installation drill and have been looking at the Milwaukee and festool. Festool is crazy expensive, underpowered and lacks accessories And Milwaukee have decided to put their forward/reverse selector on top of the drill in the form of a button. (A deal breaker for me), the other ones on the market are with too bulky or not great quality. Does anyone know of any secret Makita plans to release a tool like this? Seems like they could sweep this section of the market with a well engineered 12v drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% agree with you here. But I really don’t expect them to. Just because it would be so trivial for them to have done it many years ago by this point. It would be awesome though.

Ned Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 It will be difficult to beat Bosch in that tool. Have you had look at Bosch 12v multi head drill? And the Bosch batteries are better too! I am a Makita fan for 18v and corded but All Bosch for 12v as their platform is quite large + lasers and other scanners, inspect cameras, etc all on the same 12v battery so quite a good for me. And the 12v Bosch range has been upgraded to all brushless. Have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jjwillac Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 I've seen a video where someone converted the Makita 1/4 hex screwdriver to accept the Bosch heads by 3D printing an adapter plate. Was super slick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jjwillac Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Here is someone selling a Makita flex click conversion kit. If link doesn't work let me know and I'll post some pics. https://www.facebook.com/groups/167031360437573/permalink/1092974984509868/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 @TyMonk I know you mentioned the button on the top of the Milwaukee is a deal breaker. When I got the m12, I wasn't sure what I would think about it at first. After using it for awhile it actually isn't as bad as you would think. The fact you hold the Milwaukee like a drywall screwgun helps make the case for the button on the top in my opinion. Now I am so used to having the button I'm not sure I would switch to a traditional direction switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Ditschy Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Yes, it looks similar to my conversion from the conversion! 👍https://www.instagram.com/p/CCYmGsADqSf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkhttps://www.instagram.com/p/BtuwNq_jp_5/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkThe conversion is not difficult, all you need is an angle attachment.
