Tool manufacturer Makita has released its new HP003GZ01 40VMax XGT Brushless Combi Drill.
Powered by Makita’s 40VMax XGT Li-Ion battery platform, the drill delivers 180Nm torque, making it the most powerful Combi Drill in the Makita range, with torque setting stages of 41/30/25 newton metres and enhanced clutch control.
The HP003G XGT 40v Combi features a three-speed gearbox, and a new medium mode which provides a balance of torque and speed for heavy duty tasks such as driving longer screws.
The drill includes active feedback sensing technology (AFT) that stops the engine if the rotation cuts out, as well as an electric brake for increased operator protection. Additionally, it has a soft start and reversing function that helps to reduce kick back. It also includes a built-in LED light to illuminate dark areas, and a 13mm keyless chuck for easy bit changes without the need for additional tools.
Marketing manager at Makita, Kevin Brannigan, commented: “Our HP003GZ01 combi drill is a great addition to any professional’s toolkit. Compatible with Makita’s 40VMax batteries, the drill offers longer run time whilst delivering robust performance and precise control.”
