Makita Grows Its 40V Brushless Impact Driver Lineup With The GDT02
Makita designed its 40V lineup to offer optimum power for heavier-load applications without sacrificing runtime. Adding to the 40V impact driver roster is the Makita GDT02, and we’re taking a look at its features and specs so you know what to expect from this tool.
Makita GDT02 Impact Driver Performance
- Delivers up to 1860 in-lbs of torque
- 4 speed settings
- Maximum impact rate: 4100 IPM
- Variable speed trigger
- Digitally-controlled Tightening Mode
While the GDT02 isn’t Makita’s most powerful 40V impact driver, 1860 in-lbs of torque is nothing to scoff at. This impact driver achieves a maximum speed of 3700 RPM with four speed settings in between (0-1,100/ 0-2,100/ 0-3,200/ 0-3,700 RPM). Plus, you get an impact rate of 4100 IPM at the top end to help tackle those tough jobs.
Like the previous model (GDT01), the GDT02 features a digitally-controlled Tightening Mode, or T-Mode, which provides faster tightening of self-drilling screws.
