- What does the auto-stop clutch do?
- It stops the motor when the clutch detects the bit slipping or the screw seating, which helps prevent stripped screw heads and damaged surfaces.
- Is 7.2V enough for drilling?
- It handles light drilling in wood and plastic. For masonry or large holes in hardwood, a higher-voltage drill is a better fit.
- What comes in the kit?
- Makita sells this as a kit, so expect the drill, a 7.2V lithium-ion battery and a charger. Check the listing for the exact contents.
- Is $235.84 a good price?
- It is the only new price listed as of November 7, 2026, so there is no recent range to compare it with. Compare against other 7.2V and 12V kits before deciding.
- How does it compare to a 12V drill?
- A 12V drill gives more torque and longer runtime for similar size. Choose this one mainly if the auto-stop clutch matters to you.
- Where is the Makita 7.2V Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/4" Hex Driver-Drill Kit with Auto-Stop Clutch cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $235.84, as of our latest check.
