MAKITA DDF481RTE brushless screwdriver review + KAIRA auger!

Today's review I want to dedicate brushless screwdriver model from MAKITA - DDF481RTE.

The name of the model itself speaks of its main advantage. It has a brushless motor and an electronic clutch system. This greatly simplifies the operation of the device. In addition, this characteristic significantly extends the life of the motor. Additionally, the service life of the device is extended by the dustproof and moisture-resistant properties using XRT technology.

Another advantage is its small size and relatively low weight. This allows the tool to be used effortlessly. And the ergonomic extended handle with a comfortable grip allows you to calmly hold it in your hand.

I will pay special attention to LED backlighting. It has two modes - afterglow and preglow. As a result, the device can be used in rooms with insufficient lighting. In addition, the backlight turns on and off very smoothly.

Device power - 115 Nm. In addition, the operating time of the product is noticeably longer than that of other similar models.

The screwdriver battery holds a charge for a very long time. It won't take long to fully recharge the device. The charger itself is included inside the tool case.

Some more characteristics of the model:

1. The cartridge is 13 mm. It is quick-release. The bat can be removed and installed with one hand;

2. You can drill metal with a diameter of up to 1.3 cm, and wood with a diameter of up to 7.6 cm;

3. Two speeds. The device can be used both as a drill and as a screwdriver;

4. Rotation speed - 550 rpm in the first mode, 2100 rpm in the second mode;

5. The maximum battery voltage is 18 W;

6. Battery type - Li-ion

7. Product weight - 2.6 kg.

Of the useful properties, one can also note the overload protection function.

Let's talk about the set of the device. The kit includes: two batteries, clips for holding the belt, a handle, documents (instructions and quality certificate), a case for storing the tool, the screwdriver itself, a charger.

Note that Makita recommends using the KAIRA auger with its tools. It is a very light drill with a weight of 3 kg. Auger length - 100 cm. Diameter - 1.55 cm.

The auger has a cylindrical shank. It can be used with any kind of screwdrivers and drills (including the model I am considering today). The complete set of the tool consists of a drill adapter and a spinner.
