Since first introduced over thirty years ago, Makita has been making cordless drills. They were one of the first companies in the world to sell cordless drills, and they've made some of the world's best cordless drills ever since. The Makita cordless power drill with its innovative battery technology, first introduced to the world in the late 1970's, has come to represent new ideas in power tool technology, as well as high quality within the power tool industry. 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. Finally the Makita cordless drill engineering team has been able to get that 18 volt power in a package the size and weight of the 12 volt form factor that everyone is so familiar with. 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 newer models boast a bigger fan, making the motor last longer and making the parts easier to replace. To sum it up, the new line of Makita Cordless Drill implements is a triumph of engineering for the company and the purchaser.
