The verdictOur take

The Makita DA001G is a 40V max XGT brushless stud & joist angle drill, with 136Nm, two speeds up to 1,500rpm and a 13mm keyed chuck, at 4.6kg bare. It takes self-feed bits to 118mm, hole saws to 159mm and augers to 50mm, so it suits plumbers and electricians boring big holes through joists. We rate it a heavyweight pick for XGT users; the twin-18V DDA460 matches its 136Nm and capacities on LXT packs, and DeWalt's DCD470 is the FlexVolt alternative.
