Description

Makita’s 7.2V Lithium-Ion cordless driver-drill kit with auto-stop clutch delivers convenience and precision drilling and driving power to torque- specific assembly applications. The DF012DSE combines the ultra-compact design of a cordless screwdriver with 21 clutch settings and an auto-stop clutch for extra fastening control. The DF012DSE is powered by a Makita-built motor that delivers 71 in.Lbs. Of max torque in drilling mode. The 2-speed gear selection offers 200 RPM and 650 RPM for low or high speed applications. The 21 clutch settings offer a range of fastening torque, from 32 in. Lbs. In clutch setting 1 to 50 in. Lbs. In 21. For added precision and control, the auto-stop clutch shuts off the tool when the clutch disengages and helps prevent over- driving on the fastener. For extra versatility, the tool will operate in straight or pistol grip positions. The DF012DSE weighs just 1.2 lbs. With a more compact design at only 10-3/4” long (in-line) and 8-5/8” long (pistol), with an ergonomic shape that fits like a glove for reduced operator fatigue. It is also equipped with a built-in L.E.D. Work light operated by a separate switch on the opposite side of the rocker, and provides illumination for more accurate work. The DF012DSE also includes a low battery indicator: the L.E.D. Light blinks when the battery needs to be recharged. The switch drive Lock prevents Active discharge in the case when not in use, and allows the tool to be a screwdriver in Lock position. The DF012DSE delivers versatile power combined with a compact design, dual position handle, and precision clutch settings for torque-specific assembly work.

  • Buy a good one.
Style: Driver-Drill Kit
Very happy with this model Makita. Much better then DeWalt, Milwaukee. But make sure you compare to like volt tools. Allot of ( unusable under powered lower cost ) inexpensive want-A-beeeees

  • Powerful motor
Style: Driver-Drill Kit
I had another pencil style cordless driver but I need more power without grabbing a cordless drill (I work on setting up electric guitars). It's a 7.2 volt system with 2 batteries and charger and a cool automatic clutch shutoff feature. When the tool reaches the torque setting you have set (1 to 21) the tool will shut off, no typical clutch sounds. It's not a cheap tool but very well made! ... show more

  • My favorite tool! No negatives!
Style: Driver-Drill Kit
No big problems! Works well out of box! Though I have seem to broken the lock up mechanism (which prevents it folding to pistol configuration) it is still my favorite tool- I actually go looking for things to do with it! It does drill with a proper bit but it is no competition for a dedicated drill. This tool is a plus for any workshop! Will buy again if significant other lets me! It is a good buy! Bye! ... show more

  • Great Small Driver
Style: Driver-Drill Kit
This is my go-to driver for small tasks and has performed perfectly so far. The torque clutch stops rotation after one hit, which is much better than on my drills. I disassembled some furniture today and this saved an incredible amount of time and was much easier to use than a drill or impact driver. I then used it to pilot drill holes then drive 2 1/2" #9 screws to hang a birdhouse. It will also find use on electrical work and working on my bikes. The size makes it more convenient to carry than even the small impact drivers. The only negatives are that the price is high and I wish it had a battery level indicator like the LXT batteries do. ... show more

  • Hands down the best small drill for all applications!
Style: Driver-Drill Kit
I use is around the house on every project! I race RC cars and this drill is best at working on buggies to take apart and put back together on timely manner. The quality is top notch, and the battery life is many hours of use. Recommended to all. Buying a cheaper one as I have made me want the best!! The Makita is the best! ... show more

Can’t beat these tools. Have whole set, been using for years. Cut them no slack, they are tough!

  • The best power driver made
Style: Driver-Drill Kit
This is the power driver you’ve been looking for. The driver is perfect for working circuit boards and other delicate equipment or devices. You simply turn the dial to set the exact amount of torque needed and done. The driver will automatically dead stop when the set amount of torque is reached. It’s fantastic. You don’t have to worry about cracking the circuit board, breaking delicate screw mounts or stripping screws. The driver also has plenty of power to tackle any job. I would buy this tool again but I don’t have because it’s a Makita. I would recommend this tool to anyone. Get it, you will not regret it. ... show more
