With a Makita cordless screwdriver, you can do a lot of work around your own four walls.

Read here which models are particularly in demand.

Cordless screwdrivers are versatile.

Screws can be tightened or metal and wood drilled through with a simple twisting movement.

Some cordless screwdrivers also have a hammer drill function, such as the

.

An impact drill can also be used in masonry, which means that professional craftsmen and do-it-yourself fans can do even more.

But what should you look for in a cordless screwdriver?

Read the differences here.

We also present the most popular Makita cordless screwdrivers on the market.

Makita cordless screwdriver: These are the features that matter

• Battery voltage:

  A tool without a mains connection will have to be charged at some point, also because the performance is reduced.

  You can counteract this with a high battery voltage.

  Good cordless screwdrivers have 12 volts, the best models have 18 volts.

  Here you hardly notice any performance differences compared to a device with a cable.

• Torque:

  Torque is one of the most important performance characteristics of a cordless screwdriver.

  This describes the force with which the cordless screwdriver performs the rotary movements.

  The higher the maximum torque, the more power the device has.

  A cordless screwdriver should have a torque of at least 50 Nm.

• Speed:

  With a cordless screwdriver, the revolutions per minute are not quite as important as the torque.

  The speed is not decisive for classic screwdriving applications, but it is for drilling work.

  If the speed is too low, the work can be made significantly more difficult.

• Design / weight:

  Powerful cordless screwdrivers are usually heavier and larger.

  Due to the power, work can be done quite quickly with it, but these devices also make it difficult to use.

  Some cordless screwdrivers are very compact in their design, which means they are light in weight and are handy even when working overhead.

• Equipment:

  High-quality cordless screwdrivers, like most from Makita, have a brushless motor.

  This is not only powerful, but the durability is greater than a normal motor.

  Some models are also equipped with a practical LED light.

  This can be used to illuminate dark work areas.

• Functions:

  Most cordless screwdrivers are intended for classic screwdriving work in metal and wood.

  High-priced models also have an impact drill function.

  You can also use it to drill into masonry.

• Drilling performance

  : If you want to buy a Makita cordless screwdriver, you should also pay attention to sufficient drilling performance.

  The drilling capacity indicates the diameter with which the holes can be drilled.

• Scope of delivery:

  Depending on whether you already have Makita batteries at home, it makes sense to buy the devices individually.

  Some are supplied with an extensive accessory set, in a case and with batteries.

  Of course, this is reflected in the price.
