Makita 6337DWDLEX 14.4-Volt 1/2 inch MFORCE Cordless Drill/Flashlight... Makita MORE INFO

Amazon.com Think of amps as the battery's gas tank: the greater the amps, the longer the tool's run time. With the new MForce line of cordless tools, Makita has bumped their ultra-compact NiMH batteries up to 2.6 amps, delivering a markedly longer run time per charge. The tool is compact and well balanced, too, thanks in part to the newly designed two-piece motor that allows for a smaller 14.4-volt unit capable of an impressive 350 inch-pounds of torque--enough power for any task for which we'd use a cordless. The unit's all-metal gear transmission, featuring a planetary gear system, also takes up a minimum of space, and does a good job delivering smooth power. The MForce line also features a new Shift Lock drive system that locks out the clutch, shifting from driver to drill mode in a way that will never slip.

The 1/2-inch chuck on this model handles larger bits, making it a smart choice for drilling in wood. Best of all, the drill feels great in the hand: the balance is right and the handle has a rubberized grip, a new feature to Makita drills and one an all-day user will surely appreciate. This kit includes two 14.4-volt, 2.6 amp NiMH batteries, a handy adjustable flashlight, a multivoltage charger, and a carrying case. --Jon Groebner From the Manufacturer The all-metal gear transmission on Makita's 14.4-volt MFORCE cordless drill features a rugged 3-stage, 13-planetary gear system to create smooth, efficient power transfer for the most demanding jobs.
