Makita hand drills are corded rotary drills for drilling clean holes in wood, metal and plastic. They have no hammer action, so they are made for steady, accurate drilling in the workshop, on fit-out jobs and for light mixing with the right attachment. The range includes classic Makita models and the Makita MT line.
How to choose a Makita hand drill
- Chuck size: 1/4" (6.5mm) drills are light and fast for small holes. 3/8" (10mm) models suit general work. 1/2" (13mm) and 5/8" (16mm) chucks take larger bits.
- Speed or torque: High speed drills such as the 6501 suit small holes in metal and wood. High torque drills such as the DS4010 and DS4012 turn large bits and hole saws with less stalling.
- Variable speed and reverse: Models like the 6010BVR and 6510LVR let you start slowly and back out a stuck bit.
- Power: Higher wattage keeps the speed up under load when drilling large holes in steel or hardwood.
