Cordless drill-driver designed for use in workshops and construction sites. This tool can screw in screws up to 6x75 mm and bolts up to M6, as well as drill holes in wood (up to ⌀38 mm) and metal (up to ⌀13 mm). The Makita DDF490Z screwdriver's mechanical gearbox features two speeds (500 rpm — for fastening, 1900 rpm — for drilling), with smooth speed control within each range by adjusting the pressure on the trigger.

The torque, reaching 65 Nm at the first speed, is adjustable via a 20-step clutch. The brushless motor includes an electronic brake for quick chuck stopping. The keyless chuck accepts round-shank drills up to ⌀13 mm and hexagonal bits. Safe operation in low-light conditions is ensured by an integrated LED flashlight with pre- and afterglow functions. The screwdriver requires a Makita 18V LXT battery for operation (battery and charger not included). Product highlights: Efficient brushless motor with electronic brake, two-speed gearbox with smooth speed control, 20-step torque adjustment, versatile keyless chuck, and LED flashlight for safe operation.
