Makita-built Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life because of no friction loss and reduced heat production caused by brushes.

To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then slide the speed change lever to the “2” side for high speed or “1” side for low speed. Be sure that the speed change lever is set to the correct position before operation. Use the right speed for your job.

MAKITA POWER TOOLS INDIA PVT. LTD. was incorporated in the year 2008 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of MAKITA CORPORATION, JAPAN. Established in 1915 as an electric motor sales and repair company, MAKITA CORPORATION has grown to become world”s top manufacturer of professional portable power tools.

In the field of power tools, Makita offers classic tools (drilling and stemming hammers, drills, planers, saws, cutting and angle grinders), gardening equipment (electric lawnmowers, high-pressure cleaners, blowers), and measuring tools (rangefinders, rotating lasers).

Anyone who works with their hands has at least heard of Makita, a brand known for its high-quality power tools. Whether you're looking for an impact wrench, a saw, or a specific kind of drill, Makita has a product to fit your project.

The Makita Brushless motor is precision engineered to be up to 50% more efficient than a comparative model. This means a fully charged 18v lithium-ion battery will last almost twice as long as a product running on a standard motor.

More Efficient According to Consumer Reports, brushless motors are more energy-efficient than brushed, often running on battery power for up to 50 percent longer. Since brushless motors don't contain brushes that lose energy to friction, they have a longer battery life than brushed tools.

Setting 1 is low speed/high torque and is best for driving screws. Setting 2 is a medium speed/torque and can be used for drilling or driving. Setting 3 is the highest speed and is meant for drilling or driving fasteners.

General-use drills have the most common chuck size of 3/8-inch to accommodate the majority of drill bits. The most powerful cordless drill would have a 1/2-inch chuck for heavy-duty applications while light-duty tools have a fixed 1/4-inch size.

We have plants in eight countries around the world (Japan, China, Romania, Thailand, the United Kingdom, Brazil, the United States, and Germany); about 90% of products manufactured by Makita are made abroad.

Makita Corporation (株式会社マキタ, kabushiki gaisha Makita) (TYO: 6586) is a Japanese manufacturer of power tools. Founded on March 21, 1915, it is based in Anjō, Japan and operates factories in Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico, Romania, the United Kingdom, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Canada, and the United States.

In general, Makita has a reputation for being a step up in quality compared to DeWalt with a higher price tag to go along with it. However, both brands are considered to be professional-level tools across the board.

The Makita drill can also drill to greater depths in Masonry and Metal, but the Bosch machine's capacity in wood is greater. In addition, the GSB18V-110C is supplied with 5 ah batteries, which will run for longer between charges than the 2.5 ah batteries which come with the Makita drill.

That's why LXT brushless motors from Makita are so exciting! They're more powerful, efficient, and durable thanks to fewer moving parts. They also require less overall maintenance to keep them working properly. For those who prefer cordless Makita tools, their LXT lithium-ion batteries are a game changer!
