I never seen this cordless Makita drill before
Wow…..With that size of battery it would be better to have it separate from the tool, and clip on your belt or similar manner with a short cord running to it, my arms feel tired just thinking about drilling overhead with that thing.

That looks like one of their older models for factory use. They typically market things like lithium ion, brushless, and bluetooth to aerospace and similar contractors long before we see those developments.
I’m with Jeff on that one. They have an entire line like that still. Look a little different but the older lithium a looked really cool.
I think they came with brushless motors too. Something to do with exactly what Jeff is referring too.
That’s pretty cool might have seen one similar to that before but not often.

I had a older Makita drill that looked very close to that but with a totally different battery, probably the same time frame…..
This is their assembly tool line….
Kinda surprising most of those tools are 12v or less. Then again in an assembly situation prob lots of fasteners into plastic that don’t require lots of power etc.
Those assembly tools have Veeeeery precise Torque settings. Most Bolts/nuts/fasteners only need a few newtons really.
These assembly tools can be controlled by a computer using bluetooth and will torque untill the setting is reached and then auto stop. A visual and audio signal will alert the user if the fastening has been done correctly.
Very cool but expensive tools 😀
nice tools, seeing it for the first time 😀

My buddy works for ford and a light comes on indicating he fastened his bolts to the proper torque, it’s all computerized now
