The verdictOur take

The DF032D is Makita's 12V max CXT brushless drill driver with a 1/4" hex holder, a 2-speed 35Nm tool with 20 torque settings. At 0.67kg bare it is the lightest Makita drill driver here, drilling 28mm in wood and 10mm in steel. We rate it a handy light driver for installers on CXT; the brushed DF033D is the simpler version, and the DF332D swaps the hex holder for a 10mm keyless chuck.
