DR99 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I never seen this cordless Makita drill before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Wow.....With that size of battery it would be better to have it separate from the tool, and clip on your belt or similar manner with a short cord running to it, my arms feel tired just thinking about drilling overhead with that thing.

jeffmcmillan Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 That looks like one of their older models for factory use. They typically market things like lithium ion, brushless, and bluetooth to aerospace and similar contractors long before we see those developments.

ChrisK Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I'm with Jeff on that one. They have an entire line like that still. Look a little different but the older lithium a looked really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I think they came with brushless motors too. Something to do with exactly what Jeff is referring too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 That's pretty cool might have seen one similar to that before but not often.JimboSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I had a older Makita drill that looked very close to that but with a totally different battery, probably the same time frame..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 This is their assembly tool line....http://www.makitaassemblytools.com/why.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryNY Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Kinda surprising most of those tools are 12v or less. Then again in an assembly situation prob lots of fasteners into plastic that don't require lots of power etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Those assembly tools have Veeeeery precise Torque settings. Most Bolts/nuts/fasteners only need a few newtons really. These assembly tools can be controlled by a computer using bluetooth and will torque untill the setting is reached and then auto stop. A visual and audio signal will alert the user if the fastening has been done correctly. Very cool but expensive tools 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
