The Makita DTD129Z replaces the BTD129Z and takes both 3.0ah and 4.0ah batteries. Makita DTD129 Features LED Job light with pre-glow function.
BLDC motor specially designed to provide, above all, more work amount on a single full battery charge.
Energy production is more efficient than brushed DC motor because of no friction loss caused by brushes, enabling lower amperage for reduced heat production and increased work amount on a single full battery charge. Makitas New Lithium Ion Brushless BL Motors Makitas new Brushless Motors give up to twice the run time of a conventional motor with brushes and an upbeatable 22 minute charge with the DC18RC charger Key Reasons why to go to Makita Brushless Brushless motor draws less amps, works twice as long
Less heat generation extends battery life, reduces frequency of charging batteries
Makita s brushless motor enhances operational performance as well as battery longevity. This enables a Makita 3Ah battery to give users as much work as some competitor s 4Ah products.
With the added benefit of a 22 minute charging time you can keep on going all day.
Less friction increases motor speed and less heat is generated which improves performance and extends machine life.
