In this video I tear down and review the Makita DF012D electric screw driver along with a few accessories. **This is an unpaid, independent review (I bought it myself!)** Patreon link: / nfm
I have never seen an explanation of the workings of a charger as you have done. I'm in Texas and just for your complete and thorough explanation of the charger I have become a subscriber to your channel even if I don't have any use to the rest of your reviews. Keep up the good work!!! 👍 👍 👍 💪 💪 💪
Thanks for the good reviews. In the review video, the depth of the ENVIL is due to the incompatibility of the Dewalt drill (+ double-sided) long driver bits. In Korea and Japan, deep anvil is the mainstay of the market, and MAKITA is a Japanese product, so it seems to be equipped with a long anvil. This deep anvil is useful because you can use long driver bits as well as short driver bits. Of course, you can find Dewalt's deep anvils on the service parts list and get replacement service.
Picked one up today; it's got heaps of torque but it does have some annoying handling problems. The collet lock is too small and stiff to get a grip on so you need a third hand to remove a bit. The torque settings are also too small to grip onto and the action is very stiff. Beware of the folding action: very easy to inadvertently fold it and get a nasty pinch on the hand or a finger.
Get the impact driver version. Lighter, variable speed, and can drive some seriously massive screws or (using the variable speed) some delicate fasteners. It’s my favorite tool out of the massive collection I have. It also uses a unique “trigger” that is really a sliding dial and it’s on both sides of the tool. I have both the drill and impact, the drill is buried under all my crap tools lol
That motor has a makita M stamped in it, looks purpose build probably for that drill and their pen impact driver. Also the terminals aren’t soldered because there’s no brush replacement process, you just swap the whole motor. Nice and easy, beautiful tool. Also those bits are Japanese standard. Called JIS bits. Better contact area I guess…
Circular saw blades also have “Regional” inside diameter specs that will not interchange with incorrect region saws. Brought my tools overseas, replaced expendable blades/bits with local spec variety to bad results.
exactly the same models im looking at as well. im leaning to the makita, just because of the low price. also because i havent really been able to find much info on the others
Western spec bits fit Japan spec driver sockets BUT can fall in too deep/ the ball bearing spring collar lock won’t properly engage. Then, what happened to me, the bit wouldn’t come back out. Disassembled collar, applied torch to heat & expand collar, then bit removed with pliers. Be warned.
I have a TD020D for 15? years most useful tool that I have ever owned. The forward switch failed and I see that there is nothing similar now available so I will attempt replacing the switch which apparently is available. Best tool ever made IMHO but I'm no tool expert. Maybe there is a better tool?
Looks like you have a choice of a TD021D or the newer model TD022D as a modern equivalent. These are available in Japan, but I'm not sure about other countries.
Yeah, I have seen them around and a lot of tradespeople here in Japan use them I noticed. I do more delicate work that needs the fine torque adjustment, but I might pick up the impact version one day.
How would you make a 80-140volt input 72volt output circuit at 600 amps? Multiples in parallel would be acceptable unless i want to use a non existent gauge of wire / solid rod.
I'm thinking about getting one of these. Seems like a capable little driver. How is it as a drill? The Makita catalog says it can drill in wood up to 6mm and metal up to 5mm. About the ring light, I think you might be on to something with the patents. I saw a Black and Decker one with a ring light today. Black and Decker and DeWalt are the same company.
It works well as a drill for smaller holes, I've pushed it to 8mm in plastic and thin aluminium. I also used it to drill 3mm holes in cast iron for the machine repairs in a recent video. It isn't as fast as a real drill due to the lower RPM, but it is really handy for smaller holes as it it lightweight and easy to handle. It has it's limitations due to it's small battery and motor, but if you use it within it's capacity it's a great tool.
Bruv if you like that thing you must try the makita 18v sub compact impact and or hammer drill driver there super light especially with a 2.0 battery on it and have a ton of power too but you can tone it down for small fasteners the impact is a 3 speed plus variable trigger on all the speeds and the hammer drill driver has 2 speeds plus the torque setting on the chuck plus variable speed trigger so there so versatile n great n also not super expensive
No, the makita pen impact driver is the best. I have both of those tools you mentioned and I never touch the impact. On the other hand I love the drill.
Can you use it as a regular screwdriver? I mean when I assemble delicate Ikea furnitures when it stops on lowest torque can I tighten screw manually? Bigger tool I have even on lowest torque screws in way to much and destroys furniture.
Hi sir, thank you for the nice review! I am wondering if I can use this to put up shelves around my apartment. I am looking for a tool that does it all around the household. In all honesty, there's a Father's Day special going on right now and I can purchase the whole kit Karma the Canadian / American one for $50. Should I? Thank you!
It's a great tool, I use mine to install servers in datacenters all the time, so for home use it will be great. It isn't as powerful as a proper drill, but perfect for it's intended use (and I do use drill bits in it for plastic aluminium and wood and it's good for that too). For $50, it's a steal. I'd buy two! :D
