Review on Cordless drill driver Makita DF330DWE by Stanislaw Biedka ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice product, happy with my purchase and may buy again.

Shurik, who is in his sixth year of service, is incredibly persistent. The engine stopped working, and the batteries died, in the fourth year. I gave them new life by removing the "offal" and replacing it with fresh cells (you can find lots of how-to videos on this online). Because I was dumb and didn't let the engine cool down in between tightening long self-tapping screws, it was destroyed. Added a "analog" to replace the previous engine. The Makita device is advantageous because not only are replacement parts readily available, but so are equivalent knockoffs. The included holster never caught on with me because it just felt wrong. However, the "casket" had a valuable purpose, since it could store bits and little drills. I will respond with a resounding "no" if you ask me if I plan to restock on this particular Shurik. Weak batteries and an awkward handling make it uncompetitive at its current price of around $7,000. The price of the blue GSR 12V-30 model from the main competitor is lower, and it is equipped with a brushless motor and a 2.0 Ah battery. select one)

Pros
  • The 1.030-kilogram battery is rather light. Especially if you pile on the pressure and stress. Handy "casket" within the case for storing smaller items.
Cons
  • It seems like the thick handle is its biggest downside. Such models will continue to be more convenient than their Makita rivals in this respect. The second issue is that the batteries are underpowered for the price (1.3 a/h).

Has some pros: Compact, fits comfortably in the hand, the backlight shines for some time after releasing the trigger Got cons: Weighty, does not stand on the handle due to the shape of the battery
