Makita Cordless Drills: More Bang for Your Buck!

Makita cordless drills are a prime example of the high quality and superior workmanship that has made the company internationally famous. The Makita brand has been an industry leader in power tools for almost a century and is never content to rest on its laurels, continuing to introduce new and innovative products that benefit the workplace tremendously.

When you use Makita cordless drills, you experience power and efficiency in a user friendly compact size that makes them lightweight enough to handle comfortably---even for long jobs---but heavy duty in performance, able to take on the toughest workload.

Which Makita Cordless Drills are the Best?

Before you can determine which of the Makita Cordless Drills is best for your needs, you should first take a look at the two basic types available:

1. Compact Cordless Drills
2. Cordless Hammer Drills

Let's go into a little more detail about each of these types of Makita Cordless Drills:

• Compact Cordless Drills: Compact cordless drills, also known as just plain cordless drills, are power tools designed to rotate a drill bit in a circular motion. This type of drill does nothing else except perform said circular motion. The user must adapt the amount of pressure while drilling to fit the application. In general, compact cordless drills depend on the design of the screws on the drill bits grooves to grab on and pull through the material, which is usually vinyl, wood or softer materials. Compact cordless drills can tackle everything from professional usage to DIY projects of a home improvement enthusiast.
• Cordless Hammer Drills: Compared to compact cordless drills, cordless hammer drills pack a much heavier punch. While they rotate the drill bit around in a circular motion just as the plain cordless drills, they also put some force behind it by hammering down on the bit and forcing it into the material being drilled. Cordless hammer drills can handle much harder materials than regular compact cordless drills and may be used on concrete, steel and more. Cordless hammer drills require specialized drill bits that are designed to be used without breaking due to so much friction.

Now, on to the question of which of these Makita Cordless Drills is right for you. Cordless hammer drills are probably not the best bet for a novice or anyone inexperienced in using a regular cordless drill due to its power. You might say that it takes a steady, experienced hand to use such a power tool. Still, what it all boils down to is the type of job you need a cordless drill for. If it's simply plain, garden variety drilling, you really have no need of a cordless hammer drill. On the other hand, if you need to drill through concrete or steel or similar hard materials, a plain cordless drill won't get the job done and you will have to use a hammer drill.

Here is a third alternative: You might consider buying one of the Makita Cordless Drills that serves double duty by allowing you to use it either as a compact cordless driver drill or a hammer driver drill. This might provide you with the best of all possible worlds when it comes to buying Makita Cordless Drills!
