Nice price, good quality.

I am a professional electrician. I use this screwdriver for mounting sockets and switches, for assembling shields with machines. DF012 is perfect for this job

Pros
  • Convenient side control. Pressing forward and backward with a separate key. There is no need to additionally switch the reverse. Unfolds into the position of "sausage stick" 30 cm long. There is a work area light. The backlight has a separate switch. There is a screwdriver off lock, which is important when carrying in a bag with another tool, there will be no false inclusions. Two rotation speeds are switched by a separate lever. Convenient fixed fastening of bits in the cartridge, will not be lost.
Cons
  • Frustrated that there is no charge indicator on the tool body. You don't know how long the current battery will last. The screwdriver itself was a little bulky. And I would like a little more torque. There is no bit speed controller. Not at low or high speed.

The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

I worked in a coffee machine repair shop for about 5 years, you can say I built a house in which I even twisted plaster with black self-tapping screws, ruthlessly used it like Shurik and nothing - it works! Batteries are super, I charge once a week.

The screwdriver is just a super-bomb. Bought around 2022 or 2022. Since then, I use it in the tail and mane in the workshop for the repair of equipment. Used for assembly / disassembly of household appliances and laptops. Also for drilling small holes up to 3mm with Bosch chuck. When I bought it, then foolishly began to spin everything with it. Even self-tapping screws 100 mm long managed to drive into a bar. In the end, of course, she broke down. Gearbox 1 is out of order. I disassembled the…

Pros
  • Precise torque adjustment. Doesn't vomit. A clear stop of rotation when the tightening torque is reached. 2 batteries already last a very long time. 2 fixed passes. Folding handle. Subject to operating conditions Reliable, almost like a Kalashnikov.
Cons
  • Screwdriver weight. Small battery capacity. Non-standard battery voltage. Plastic gear change in the gearbox. The second time the ratchet of the torque adjustment turntable broke.

In general, everything is not bad, but I expected more.

I work as an electrician, I mostly twisted self-tapping screws and screws, one might say rarely. The time of use is 3 months, the symptoms of a malfunction appeared immediately, I did not betray them. The screwdriver works on the first speed. A new gearbox for Ali 2300, of course not the original, but I think it will be no worse. Pros: It is convenient to use, the power for this type of tool is good. The battery lasts for a day, with moderate use, it charges in half an hour. Has cons…

I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

With its pros: This thing works like a wave. She worked out everything I put into her by 120% Its cons: Well, the disadvantages of this thing for those who do not use it

HOW A DRIVER SHOULD BE!

When you need a small, compact screwdriver with lots of power, this is your best choice. I have a Panasonic 3.6V driver pin that has been my workhorse for the past five years. While expensive now, it's by far the best choice for driving the occasional jackscrew. It has twice the torque of the previous generation and the electronic clutch works just as well as my other rider. It's durable and of very high quality, just like Panasonic. If you're looking for reviews, I couldn't find them. There…

  • Power & Hand Tools
Cons
  • No Power

DF012DSE Torque not as advertised

Benefits. Lightweight (just over 1.2 lbs) 2 speed clutch LED switch for lighting Lockout switch to prevent accidental activation Cons. torque. False advertising. It's much weaker. 40 inches in pounds is max torque in my opinion. I found that I had to loosen the screws by hand before this driver could rotate. Very disappointing. I've always liked Makita, but this is a failure. The power switch (such as forward/reverse) is operated with the thumb. Not a good idea. To have a firm grip on an…

Pros
  • Screwdriver
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

A great tool for anything, if that's what you want.

This driver is one of those things where you don't really need it. But do you want it? That's a whole different question. I use this for electronics, electrical work, my auto parts, basically anywhere that has plastic screws or bolts or I know I'll be removing a lot of screws. I haven't used it to actually crash into a tree for a project, but I've tested it and it actually does when you need it in a pinch. My favorite feature is the torque stop setting. You get the speed advantage without fear…
