Makita is the worst in term of product offerings, im so confused when selecting something from their range. Drill/driver ada like 10+ units, dunno apa beza, impact ada another 10+ units. Bosch punya takde lel, tengok2 cordless punya sikit tu jer. But some are banyak, like their grinders pun banyak, beza deisgn sikit, slim, motor lebih sikit, got liek almost 10 models. Depends i guess, some range of a brand has more?

That day beli cordless brush cutter oso confuse, like 6 models, apa beza dunno, spec sama saja, rupa sama saja. eventually i told them come over my place, i want to cut grass, they datang bawa 3 models that i have shortlisted, so potong rumput i go (exercise). eventually...the one with the 6" longer, straight shaft was picked.

I don't think Makita Drill/Hammer Drill models are confusing, unless you include models from years ago. Current makita 18V Drills only has 4 model: DDF481 is heavy duty; DDF482 is general purpose with brush motor; DDF483 is light duty sub-compact; DDF484 is general purpose with brushless motor, that's it. substitue DDF with DHP you get hammer drill. The DDF/DHP45X are outdated models. Makita North America label their models with XFD and XPH, different from the rest of the world. eg, DDF484 is XFD12. obviously Makita also make 14.4V, 10.8v/12v, 7.2v, 3.6v....

For comparsion, Bosch GSR/GSB 18V has similar range. Same goes to Dewalt, Milwaukee, Hitachi, bascially every brand offer different model for different purposes.

nanti i balik office i ambik gambar theri catalgoue

you explain in such a short sweet way....makita also confuse bila ckp, or me confuse when they talk. either way.

Say, i would like LXT impact, 200nm min, shortest body length to accomodate tight space. what would that be? And, a BL motor LXT driver/drill with quick-hex socket, also shortest body length, ~ torque 40nm should be okay?

I don't think Makita has impact driver with over 200nm of torque, Makita generally goes for refinement than raw power. Their current top impact model is the DTD171 aka XDT16.





At 116mm in length, its likely the shortest 18V impact driver currently. Makita AU site has more organise listing . RM999 from Shopee

I believe only some odd Driver/Drill model comes with (quick release) hex anvil, like the Makita DDF083, which will limit the bit it can accept, its more of a screwdriver than drill or impact driver. Most standard driver/drill comes with chuck. If you want more power of 125nm with full metal gears and chuck, DDF481; subcompact DDF483 has shorter length of 162mm; if you prefer something in between, DDF484.

They have 40v impact driver. Need to google for the torque tho.

They do : TD001GRDX base on XGT 40V platform.

With 40V--Max, 36V nominal--of voltage, 220nm of torque is a piece of cake, consider 18V can do ~200nm. But as one reviewer said, if one need more power, theres always the corded version. Top priority of Cordless is portability, actually >150nm of torque could easily break any screw or bit. for bolt & nut, theres impact wrench.
