Makita's new cordless 12-volt impact driver features a rare earth-magnet motor, which increades the tool's power by 20% without affecting the size of the tool, and all ball-bearing construction and carbon brushes for durability. The impact driver delivers 887 in./lbs. of torque, which is roughly 3X the torque delivered by standard 12-volt drill/drivers. The handle and grip are ergonomically formed for increased comfort and the unit is only 6-5/8" long, allowing for greater flexibility and maneuverability in tight spaces. The impact driver comes with a 1/4" hex shank and comes with a charger, battery and case. The Makita 6916DWDE 12-volt impact driver retails for $229.99 (list about $500).
