In the process of construction and repair, it is very often necessary to drill a hole in a particular material. As a rule, this is necessary for the installation of fasteners, although it may be necessary for other purposes.
This is usually done with an electric drill or hammer drill. But these tools, so to speak, are “tied” to the outlet, and there are also cases when there are no electrical outlets in the immediate environment (within a radius of a kilometer). Here the best way out would be to use a cordless drill screwdriver. We would like to tell you about one of these tools. More precisely, about one of the Makita models.
Drill screwdriver makita 6281 DWPE. We note right away that this model does not have a hammer drilling function, so this tool is better suited for professional activities than as a universal home tool. But if you still have a puncher, then you can also safely take it for the house. And now in more detail.
First of all, this tool is of course a screwdriver. It has an additional drilling function. It is possible to tighten with a makita 6281 DWPE screwdriver both ordinary self-tapping screws and screws, as well as roofing self-tapping screws and small bolts. The only thing is that you need to have the corresponding bits in the set. Due to the fact that the screwdriver has a very high torque - 36 Nm, it is perfect, for example, for tasks such as screwing roofing screws into a metal frame.
In fact, due to the powerful torque, this screwdriver can easily replace a more expensive and professional tool. The light weight of the tool will not let your hands get tired quickly when working on a roof or scaffolding. It is also worth noting that the keyless chuck shaft has a lock. Thanks to this, bits can be easily changed with one hand, which is also convenient when working at height.
Like most screwdrivers, makita 6281 DWPE has a two-speed planetary gear.
For drilling, you can select speed two, and for tightening screws, it is better to use first speed. The screwdriver has very convenient ergonomics and controls, so you can switch speeds and operating modes with one hand. Thanks to modern materials, the handle does not slip even when wet.
The tool has a fairly good air cooling, so there will be no need to take a break during the work due to overheating of the screwdriver.
Of the minuses, it is worth noting, perhaps only not the largest battery capacity. This can create certain inconveniences when it is inconvenient to descend from building structures, but you need to change the battery.
Well, at the end of the article, let's say that the makita 6281 DWPE screwdriver is sold in a case. In addition to the tool itself, the kit comes with an additional battery and a pulse charger.
