Like most carpenters, I’m no stanger to Makita tools. The company’s new MForce line is rugged and powerful. Makita is one of the few manufacturers to use Ni-MH batteries, which offer greater run times than the NiCd batteries most others use. Makita has introduced a new mode selector on this model, a finger switch that changes from diver to drill mode and disables the clutch settings.
