Makita FD10R1 Cordless Screwdriver 12V 1/4 in 1700 Rpm

Product Description

The MAKITA FD10R1 is a 12-volt cordless pistol-grip screwdriver built for fastening work on residential and light commercial job sites. It accepts 1/4 inch hex-shank bits and delivers up to 1,700 RPM and 250 in-lb of torque through a standard clutch, giving tradespeople enough output for driving screws into wood, metal studs, and similar substrates. The tool ships with two BL1021B lithium-ion batteries, so work can continue while one pack charges. The reversible motor allows quick direction changes between driving and removal tasks.

The FD10R1 is suited for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who need a compact, lightweight screwdriver for repetitive fastening. The pistol-grip handle gives control during overhead and horizontal driving applications. With a 1/4 inch quick-change bit holder, swapping between Phillips, square, and hex bits takes seconds without a chuck key. The two-battery kit configuration is typical for service techs who want uninterrupted run time on multi-stop days.
