High-end cordless screwdriver with high torque
29 January 2017 
A screwdriver of this class is the dream of any finisher. I can say about myself that I work on the widest profile and almost never part with this tool. I consider it the most successful purchase of the last year and I hope it will last long enough.
Makita doesn't do nonsense. This brand in itself is already a guarantee of quality, and their power tools, along with products from Bosch, DeWalt, Metabo and Hitachi, are the best that you can buy on our market. This model is highly versatile. It can wrap almost any self-tapping screws, drill materials in normal mode or in shock mode. In fact, this screwdriver performs well as an impact drill. And if you remember that all this is powered by a battery and weighs only 1.7 kg. It can work in two speed modes. The first at 400 rpm allows you to realize the full power of the tool, providing a torque of more than 40 Nm. The second mode gives a speed of 1400 rpm with less torque. The former is well suited for driving fasteners into hard materials (such as solid oak or some types of ABS), while the latter is ideal for drilling. As for the impact mode, it is, of course, inferior to rotary hammers, but is at the level of a good impact drill. It has engine overload protection, which simply turns off the battery. I also really liked the feel in the hand, the shape of the handle is correct, and its surface is almost completely rubberized.
High price, a tool of this class is not cheap. Long Li-Ion battery charge time. You have to wait for three whole hours.

Excellent power/hole ratio

This Japanese model has a good power/hole diameter ratio. With its 42 Nm Makita HP457DWE drills as much as 13 mm in concrete and metal. Of course, the impact mode is inferior to rotary hammers, but a powerful impact drill is able to compete. For tightening / unscrewing the screws, the reverse is responsible, changing the position of rotation of the spindle. The keyless chuck allows you to install or remove the nozzle from the neck in a matter of seconds. Separately, it is worth noting the smooth adjustment of the rotational speed of the cartridge by pressing the start button. Additionally, you can set 400 or 1400 rpm with a 2-position lever located on the body.

Design features

On the body at the base of the handle there are holes for attaching a belt (not included). The belt is fixed on the shoulder or hung around the neck, which gives rest to the hands during long work, for example, when installing a false ceiling. Unfortunately, the manufacturer did not put a backlight on the screwdriver, so in dark, hard-to-reach places, you will have to highlight with a flashlight.

Durable and with great warranty

The screwdriver fits comfortably in the hand and does not slip thanks to the ergonomic rubberized handle. According to user reviews, the unit has a high-quality assembly and is able to last several years without significant repairs. The manufacturer itself gives a three-year warranty on the screwdriver. The kit comes with two batteries with a claimed capacity of 1.3 Ah. This is certainly not much, but for short-term home work it is suitable.
