Makita is gonna release updated versions of their Brushed Compact drills/impact drivers.
http://www.makita.biz/product/category/cordless/ddf482_dhp482_dtd152/index_f.html#1
The newer DDF482 will replace the DDF456
The DHP482 will be replacing the DHP456
and the impact driver DTD152 will be replacing the DTD146.
These models have higher torque and higher rpm’s then their older counterparts and also feature a shorter head lenght.
Maybe coolest of all: These will be the first tools shipped with the Makita batteries with a battery indicator on there. =)
i’m thinking of the pricing is right these make for a good step up between Makita’s Brushed DIY drill DDF453 and the brushless models like DDF480.
In the USA they are named XFD10R and XDT11R and will be available by November.
