The ergonomically designed Makita DA4031 1/2inch Angle Drill is great for use in plumbing and gives hard to match performance when used on 4"X2" construction projects

This essential piece of kit has a powerful 10 Amp motor which ensures greatly improved performance whilst the torque limiter will disengage the motor should the bit over bind - this facility is only available when the angle drill is on the lower of it's two speed settings.

The DA4031 angle drill by Makita boasts a "sidewinder" handle which which allows it to rotate a full 90o to the left and right at the touch of a button giving this tool fantastic flexibility.
