I've never worked with a Makita right angle driver so I can't answer your question. Sorry! I bought the Skil for my son and he was very impressed with it. It's hard to impress him.

I don't know what a Makita right angle driver can do, but I can tell you that this driver is very good if you're looking for a simple, always ready driver. It has both high and low torque and I have used a lot on simple drilling jobs. It's not a heavy duty drill by no means but it is light, small and does the job!

Yes the DWARA right angle will stand up to an impact ......DON'T drive it to Dallas, if it doesn't budge firstshot breake it loose with the wrenchExcellent tool n my bag

I can not say for sure. I had problems with my Makita. Let me say one thing, if I had to buy again I would not choose this unit. The extension supports (upright part) will not stay parallel without shimming every time that are moved. My advice buy the Dewalt stand and save the aggravation.

Hi Gene - well, I just ordered one, so we'll see how she looks when it arrives.I ordered a Makita 12" planer a while back. I have to say the packing looked like it wouldn't do much good - but it was in perfect shape. People reviewing the planer also said there were some issues with damage. So it sounds like crap-shoot: hopefully the percentage of shipped units ending up with damage appears high on the reviews since people with problems are more likely to write back.Anyway - I will reply when I get mine!cheers-Rob

It is not user friendly for removal and it is a micro motor, really tiny. The gear system converts the high RPM in high torque. It's meant for very small projects.

The driver shank pulls free from the handle and is reversible. One side is able to receive double sided 5/16" screwdriver bits. The other has a 3/8" reversible adapter that accepts 1/4" double sided bits on each end. Note: This driver is not magnetized. All bits must have tension bearings to stay in place... Damn annoying. Thoughts: I'm close to jbwelding the adapter in place, then jbwelding a standard magnetized bit tip holder in that, BUT, to still be able to reverse the shank, I'd have to cut a total of 3/4" out between the adapter and the bit receiver... It would be close, and you couldn't reverse it with a bit in the receiver. Wish this took standard tips. I WISH I'D BOUGHT: Bahco 808050, or the real Snap On ratcheting screwdriver (item SSDMR4BO)

I did not use this with an impact driver, so I have no direct knowledge. However, I do not see how the impact force would be transferred at right angles, it would seem that it would just push the device off the screw head. My experience is that it is hard to hold this device on the screw head in tight spaces. You have to go slow and steady.

I only own the DT01W and it is a good compact driver. From what I read on Makita's site the FD01W is both a driver and a drill. The link for the two tools is below. http://www.makitatools.com/en-us/Modules/Tools/ToolDetails.aspx?Name=DT01Whttp://www.makitatools.com/en-us/Modules/Tools/ToolDetails.aspx?Name=FD01W

Very versatile. Not sure about Makita, but it works with both my 7 1/4" Skill saw (110v) and my 5" Ryobi saw(18v). Can't imagine it wouldn't work w. Makita. Great add to my workshop by the way.

This attachment works on drills and impact drivers. It only works with 1/4 inch drive attachments, it is not a right angle chuck.

Even if you find a way to do this, it would be very dangerous. Angle grinders are cheap, I recommend investing in one.

I don't use the Makita as a primary tool. It is a circle saw that I bought for installing concrete board siding. I can say that the fitting does stay tight and has not loosened over the past 12 to 18 months.

It will be almost impossible to do with this model. The rotary blade operates on a track and it is protected by the guide. I would look elsewhere.

If you mean does it come off while working with it, all I can say is, not so far. If you want to know if it's possible to remove it, download the operator's manual and parts list on Makita's website.

Yes you could. But don't be in a hurry. It turns kinda slow because it is intended as a driver. Also you will need hex shank drill bits.

I have not; but it is a very versatile mounting system and in my opinion could mount on almost anything. I mounted one on 30+ year old Makita 2030 with no trouble at all.

If the makita has a hook on the side like mine does, you can hang it on the metal loop on the side. Otherwise no.
