The Makita 1/2 in. Spade Handle Drill (model DS4000) features a powerful 9.0 Amp motor that delivers 500 RPM, with torque for commercial drilling applications. The DS4000 includes a large trigger switch for increased user comfort, and a 12 in. pipe handle with rubberized grip for improved ergonomics. It is built with a heavyduty industrial 1/2 in. drill chuck for positive bit retention, and a versatile Dhandle that rotates 360° for multiposition operation.
The aggressive torque of Makita’s super heavy-duty spade handle drill will meet any challenge with 9 amps of power and 500 rpm. We like that the D-handle can rotate 360 degrees, giving you a sure grip in any position. Another plus: the generous size of the trigger switch. And talk about generous--the foot-long pipe handle with its rubberized grip offers superb control and even better ergonomics. The all-metal motor housing built to take job site abuse, yet surprisingly lightweight at just under 9 pounds. Maintenance is minimal: just check the external carbon brushes periodically. With the Makita name, you know you’re buying quality, and this workhorse will do the job for you for many years to come. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
