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.

  • Great Small Driver
Style: Hex 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

  • awesome tool.
Style: Hex Driver-Drill Kit
I'm not a huge handy man type guy. So this tool has by far been the most used and useful power tool i've ever bought. I've used it to assemble desks, server racks, computers and anything else you can think of that doesn't require some tiny little screwdriver to get the job done.

  • THIS IS WHAT A PEN DRIVER SHOULD BE!
Style: Hex Driver-Drill Kit
If you need a small compact pen driver with power to spare, this is the best choice. I have the Panasonic 3.6V pen driver and it has been my work horse for the last five years. Although expensive right now, it certainly is the best choice for driving those occasional stubborn screws. It has twice the torque of the previous generation and the electronic clutch works just as good as my other driver. It's built to last, very high quality just like the Panasonic. If you happen to look for reviews, I was not able to find any. There are no videos on YouTube or any website that I could find presently. On some websites that sell this they state that it has variable speed 0-200 and 0-650. THIS IS NOT VARIABLE SPEED! It has 2 fixed speeds. It's as small as my other driver, the led light is bright and on spot. I have also driven some 3 inch screws into a thick wooden block without any problems. This driver will surely make you smile with the size and power this thing has. Good work Makita!!! ... show more

  • Excellent tool for RC or small appliance repair
Style: Hex Driver-Drill Kit
Works great. I use it for my RC cars, can drill, accept other fittings. Battery lasts forever.

  • Powerful motor
Style: Hex 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

  • Good driver but doesn’t feel like it.
Style: Hex Driver-Drill Kit
I think the fit and finish of this high end driver could be much, much better. The sloppy feel of the forward and reverse buttons is terrible for this priced driver.
