The newest Makita driver is not only a powerful 3-speed with a brushless motor, but it has Makita’s new Quick-Shift Mode™ technology.
This is an “automatic electronic controller that downshifts and reduces rotation and impact speed prior to driving screw into place, and is engineered to minimize screw thread stripping, screw breakage and damage to work.”
