Makita launches new brushless combi drill

Makita’s has launched a new HP003GZ01 40VMax XGT Brushless Combi Drill, which it says combines robust performance, intelligent technology and rugged durability to deliver professional results.

Powered by Makita’s 40VMax XGT Li-Ion battery platform, this high-torque combi drill is said to be designed for demanding screwdriving and drilling applications.

The new HP003GZ01 combines power with smart control features, and delivers up to 180Nm torque, reportedly 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, users enjoy greater accuracy, and the HP003G XGT 40v Combi features a versatile three-speed gearbox that adapts effortlessly to demanding drilling and fastening tasks across various materials and applications.

Furthermore, the tool includes a new medium mode, twice as high operating speed as that in the low mode, which Makita says provides the ideal balance of torque and speed for heavy duty tasks such as driving longer screws.

For added safety, the drill includes active feedback sensing technology (AFT) that immediately stops the engine if the rotation suddenly cuts out, which also improves the tool’s longevity, as well as an electric brake for maximum productivity and 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, a conveniently placed reversing switch and a 13mm keyless chuck for easy bit changes without the need for additional tools.

Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita 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.”
