The 12V Max Driver-Drill, DF333DZ, is ideal for drilling applications in narrow or tight spaces due to its compact and lightweight design. The 2-speed mechanical gearing and 20-stage torque ring provide full control for the user to set up the drill depending on the application.
The New Makita 12V Max platform has developed and introduced the slide-style batteries to their sub-compact 12V tool range, unlike the cassette-style batteries from previous models. The 12V Max slide batteries offer improved high-capacity, ease of use and durability like styled like the 18V range.
The benefits of slide-type over cassette type batteries are a more stable contact between battery and tool - multiple contact points ensure stable connection even with the tool under extreme vibration, same ergonomic design as 18V LXT products, and battery terminals are protected from shorting out when thrown into tool bags.
Using a slide battery allows the 12V Max range of tools to have more slender, ergonomically designed handles - smaller and more comfortable than handles of cassette style batteries which have to be designed around the battery.
The Makita DC10WD is a compact and lightweight design that provides a higher charging performance than the DC10WA. With a multi-contact slide-type terminal, it ensures stable contact with the battery under extreme movement.
The DC10WD can be mounted on the wall for charging, allowing the user to obtain maximum working space on their workbench. The DC18WA also includes a charging status indicator to show the charging status of the battery. This is shown in 2 stages; Less than 80% and 80% or more.
