New drivers impact a powerful punch
March 1st 2004

The latest Makita 6932 FDWDE 14.4v impact driver provides the percussion action of up to 3000 impacts per minute to the screw head and also delivers rotation. The lightweight yet powerful driver is said to be 30% faster than conventional drill/drivers. The percussion action forces the bit into the cross slot in the head of the screw while the drive rotates the screw. This action reduces the chances of the bit jumping out of the slot or caming out which damages the screw head and wastes time. The 6932 runs at up to 2300rpm and is equally effective in sanding and polishing applications. Its ac style Marathon motor is powered by environmentally safe 2.6Ah Nickel Metal Hydride batteries capable of driving more than one hundred 65mm long screws into pine on a single charge. With up to 125Nm of torque available, compared with 30Nm for a typical drill/driver, a substantial reduction in hand and arm pressure is achieved.
