Makita launches high-torque 40VMax XGT® combi drill

Makita’s new HP003GZ01 40VMax XGT® Brushless combi drill combines robust performance, intelligent technology and rugged durability to deliver professional results. Powered by Makita’s advanced 40VMax XGT® Li-Ion battery platform, this high-torque combi drill is designed for demanding screwdriving and drilling applications.

The HP003GZ01 combines power with smart control features, delivering up to 180Nm of torque, making it the most powerful combi drill in the Makita range. With torque setting stages of 41/30/25Nm and enhanced clutch control, users benefit from greater accuracy. The HP003GZ01 also features a versatile three-speed gearbox that adapts effortlessly to demanding drilling and fastening tasks across a range of materials and applications.

The tool also includes a new medium speed mode, which operates at twice the speed of the low mode. This provides an ideal balance of torque and speed for heavy-duty tasks such as driving longer screws.

For added safety, the drill features Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT), which immediately stops the motor if rotation suddenly stops. This not only improves operator safety but can also help extend the tool’s lifespan. An electric brake further enhances productivity and protection.

Additional features include a soft start and reverse function to help reduce kickback, a built-in LED light to illuminate dark work areas, a conveniently positioned reversing switch and a 13mm keyless chuck for quick and easy bit changes without the need for additional tools.

Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita, commented: “Our HP003GZ01 combi drill is a great addition to any professional’s toolkit. Compatible with Makita’s 40VMax batteries, the drill offers longer run times while delivering robust performance and precise control.”
