Welcome to a Cordless Drill Battery specialist of the Makita Battery
We took the Makita 6347DWDE cordless drill to task and set about building a children’s play set—complete with slide, 4 swings, and a covered fort. The work involved lots of fasteners and even some seriously tough hot dipped galvanized lag and hex bolts. We quickly discovered that Makita has some serious power and stamina in this 18V tool. After all, you can’t take just any old wimpy cordless drill and expect to sink a 4-inch galvanized lag bolt through two pieces of pressure treated lumber!
The Makita 6347DWDE cordless drill kit comes with the Makita drill, multi-voltage charger and rugged plastic case (with a continuous metal-reinforced rear hinge) with batteries such as Makita BL1830 Battery, Makita LXT400 Battery, Makita BJV140 Battery, Makita BL1430 Battery, Makita TW152D Battery, Makita 1220 Battery, Makita 1050d Battery, Makita 6918d Battery, Makita uc120d Battery, Makita vr250d Battery, Makita 9120 Battery, Makita 6222D Battery. The rather roomy case has ample storage for the included charger and batteries, and additional space for bits and other small accessories as well. The drill has a rubberized rear grip that makes it easy to hold even in the worst of scenarios and the forward and reverse controls are of the expected double-sided push variety. The chuck is a Jacobs 500 series – a popular choice among cordless drivers we’ve seen, though there are many flavors and textures in this series. This one has a non-rubberized plastic adjustment ring that feels a lot like metal and seemed very durable. It was very easy to load and unload bits using a quick burst of the drill in reverse at low speed.
We used the Makita 6347DWDE to build an entire children’s play set from scratch. This entailed drilling and driving dozens and dozens of screws and more than a few bolts though large pieces of pressure treated lumber and decking material. Throughout the entire project we went through only two batteries, which was amazing considering the project took most of the afternoon. We found that driving screws into PT was easily accomplished, but the Makita seemed more about control than speed. As a result, we were able to more quickly sink screws with competitive brands moreso than with the 6347DWDE. The NiMH batteries also seemed to have very little drop-off after the first several screws that meant that maximum speed and torque was unaffected over time. The drill was still a powerhouse, but the particular speed and torque settings Makita chose may put this drill at a slight disadvantage over the 18V competition.
The 6347DWDE provided ample horsepower and its easy to use and ergonomic torque control means that contractors and handymen will both appreciate the ease of use this tool offers. User-accessible brush replacement and Ni-MH batteries also indicate a tool that will last for years and years – even under extreme stress. Competition is fierce, however, and other brands seem to provide a bit more torque and maximum speed over this particular Makita.
