Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Enhance Efficiency with the Makita 6302H 2 Inch Variable Reversible Drill by Michael Glassburn

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A drill is used to mix concrete in a bucket.

I have used this type of Makita drill for tile work for many years. I attach a whisk, a bit like a potato masher, to it to mix paving materials and concrete mix. These exercises have tremendous power and will twist your arm if you slide it away from you while performing it. I have tried other drills with more powerful motors and have never been happier than this drill. I used to like the old way of attaching the handle to the side of the drill more. It had a threaded hole in the side of the drill where you simply screwed the handle into the drill itself. The newer version has a part that wraps around the drill with a chuck and tightens as you turn the handle. Throttle mechanism type. I think for those who want the handle to float in different positions this would probably be better but I'll leave it as is in the picture. in the 90 degree position. Makes it very easy to control the auger when mixing grout which I use for laying tiles and mixing concrete in a bucket. Reverse and variable speed are very well done on this drill. Located at the bottom where the cable exits the bottom of the handle, the reverse button is in an easily accessible area, but not in an area where you could accidentally press the reverse button. The trigger is well done to allow for smooth transitions to lower speeds without forcing the drill to go too quickly to higher speeds and knock my concrete mixes out of the bucket. Really the best practice for what I do for a living. Also good for driving large screws into thick or hard wood. You can actually get some push power with it by the handle on the side. It also won't let you down with the power it has to turn large screws or bolts. This thing will rip your arm off if you're not careful! LAUGH OUT LOUD!
