MakitaDF012DSE 7.2V Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/4" Hex Driver-Drill Kit with Auto-Stop Clutch

I had another pencil style cordless driver but I need more power without grabbing a cordless drill (I work on setting up electric guitars). It's a 7.2 volt system with 2 batteries and charger and a cool automatic clutch shutoff feature. When the tool reaches the torque setting you have set (1 to 21) the tool will shut off, no typical clutch sounds.It's not a cheap tool but very well made!

No big problems! Works well out of box! Though I have seem to broken the lock up mechanism (which prevents it folding to pistol configuration) it is still my favorite tool- I actually go looking for things to do with it! It does drill with a proper bit but it is no competition for a dedicated drill.This tool is a plus for any workshop! Will buy again if significant other lets me! It is a good buy! Bye!

Can’t beat these tools.Have whole set, been using for years.Cut them no slack, they are tough!

I use is around the house on every project! I race RC cars and this drill is best at working on buggies to take apart and put back together on timely manner. The quality is top notch, and the battery life is many hours of use. Recommended to all. Buying a cheaper one as I have made me want the best!! The Makita is the best!

This is my go-to driver for small tasks and has performed perfectly so far. The torque clutch stops rotation after one hit, which is much better than on my drills. I disassembled some furniture today and this saved an incredible amount of time and was much easier to use than a drill or impact driver. I then used it to pilot drill holes then drive 2 1/2" #9 screws to hang a birdhouse. It will also find use on electrical work and working on my bikes. The size makes it more convenient to carry than even the small impact drivers.The only negatives are that the price is high and I wish it had a battery level indicator like the LXT batteries do.

This is the power driver you’ve been looking for. The driver is perfect for working circuit boards and other delicate equipment or devices. You simply turn the dial to set the exact amount of torque needed and done. The driver will automatically dead stop when the set amount of torque is reached. It’s fantastic. You don’t have to worry about cracking the circuit board, breaking delicate screw mounts or stripping screws. The driver also has plenty of power to tackle any job. I would buy this tool again but I don’t have because it’s a Makita. I would recommend this tool to anyone. Get it, you will not regret it.

This is My new "In the house drill" I no longer need to lug one of the bigger impact or chuck drills out witch can be hard to navigate putting together furniture or getting in tight spaces. This thing works like a champ! I've drilled through 3 inch lumber, plaster and even some metal sheet without it skipping a beat. Best part is that there are two separate buttons for forward and reverse. I haven't put this drill through the paces as far as battery life but it's seems to be on pace with my bigger makitas as far as no power loss as the battery drains.

My use is around the house. Battery charges in less then an hour, holds charge for a good length of time. Clutch works great, I use the lower speed for more torque. Be careful when going from pistol grip to straight stick, you can pinch your hand (between thumb & index finger) at the pivot point. I recommend this product & buy it again.
