    $17.23 delivery.

    • Thanks, Kills the deal.
      I didnt notice delivery.

      • +3

        So $57 down from $99 isn't a deal?

        • Still cheapest around, but not sure how good the stuff is.

          • +8

            @Ehty: You'll find lots of very low priced Amazon UK/US items that don't qualify for prime free international shipping but with a combined price that is lower than anything else around. Shipping shouldn't "kill the deal". IMHO.

    Who has 12v batteries in makita? I would say it's not worth it by the time you get into the gear and realise none of the usual 18v stuff is compatibles.

    And saying that I did buy myself the 12v ozito drill because I can appreciate having something small, however I got it for 10 bucks, I also got the torch and glue gun for 3 bucks combined, and the battery and charger are only 25 bucks, and the drill does hammer for masonry (although it's probably quite pissweak

    • I got a dewalt 12v combo and have since replaced it with ryobi 18v.
      Lack of other tools in the ecosystem doesn't help

      • i got it to give as a gift for a mates upcoming birthday, i already have the dewalt 18v system.

    • +1

      Agree completely. I've had 12v Makita gear before (drill-driver / torch combo), and whilst they perform well, they're only good for very light duties.
      Likewise the budget 18v range sold by hardware retail supermarkets. Again, they'll perform quite well for 95% of what the DIYer will ever throw at them, but very limited as the batteries aren't compatible with their standard (18v LXT) range.

      I have an 18V brushless line trimmer & think its under-powered.

      These 12V drills are OK for cabinetmaking or where drilling into MDF/plywood is easier with a light drill.

    • You seriously saying your 12V ozito does any masonry?

      • I actually haven't tried it yet, but I am not holding out. Maybe in besser blocks it could be OK, I don't expect it to got grough brick or prefab concrete. I bought it as a glorified screwdriver for having pictures etc in the house so I didn't have to go to the garage to get my other one

        • I would expect the only way that would get through any masonry is on the end of a hammer.

  • Tried searching without much luck; is there much info on which batteries are compatible with this drill? Are there any deals out there?

    You might as well go for an Ozito Home 12V Drill Driver Kit for $2.70 cheaper (C&C)

    • +14

      They are not in the same class though. 14Nm for Ozito (ZLDDK-150) vs 30Nm for Makita (DF333DZ). Makita 12V is on par with Ozito's 18V stuff.

        For light work the Ozito drills are small & OK.

    • +4

      Makita vs Ozito in a quality match.

      Makita wins every time with a KO.

      bio above gets it.

  • Can I get free shipping if I have Prime and order is $50+ or is that not a thing?

    • +1

      I fell for that trap too..

    • +3

      With Prime membership it still charges shipping even with above $50 spend.

      You’ll still need a charger plus battery on top of this purchase unless you’ve got one already.

  • So can be used to drill on concrete?

    • +1

      You'd want a hammer drill/sds for concrete.

      • Thank you

        • Forget hammer for concrete unless you will only need to drill one or two holes. Get a rotary/SDS instead. Second hand corded ones are cheap.

    I used MAKITA 12V briefly. They are well built to last but output is much lower than 18V range. No brushless option. The design hasn't change for long time - Still using old brushed individual motor. Chuck is 10mm and very weak.
    Light weight and MAKITA durability probably the only advantage, but do you realize it's overall length is almost same to the full size brushless 18V flagship DHP481 (204mm v 205mm)?
    12V is not MAKITA's main focus therefore a much smaller eco-system. Hard to find other tools to use the same interface.

  • 12V? It's like backward walking!

  • for someone starting to build a battery powered toolset, is 12V good enough? or should I opt for the 18V instead? It's mostly going to be used for work around the house

    • I have the 12V Milwaukee Drill and Impact. It will do most jobs around the house like install shelves, cabinet doors, handles etc. Not much I have had trouble with. I have a corded Makita Impact for drilling masonry. The Milwaukee has a pretty good ecosystem and I also I have the mini recipro saw and a ratchet driver I use on my motorcycle.

      I had all my 18V Bosch tools stolen and I have not found the need to replace them, desire yes, need no.

      • What do you use to drill walls for hanging frames etc

        • Should clarify I'm in Vic where everything is brick veneer. In places WA you need a hammer drill :D

      • +1

        I have about 15 Makita 18v tools, and they have all been flawless. But I also bought 12v Milwaukee just for their automotive wrench and I've been pretty impressed with it, so I can only imagine their 12v drill and impact would be perfect for normal home diy.

        • Yeah, about the 12V platform, Milwaukee is way more better than any others on the planet. M12 driver and drill are even better than most of other brand 18V models.

    When I Posted the deal it was #42 in power drills now has jumped to #1 bestseller 🧐

  • Are drills the new eneloops?

  • +1

    i have a dewalt 12v brushless, they aren’t meant to compete with 18v tools, they are designed for light work in small spaces, assemble furniture, etc my 12v dewalt fits into places my 18v tools don’t ….. and it’s brushless …. it’s a niche tool rather than go to first choice

  • This might be a better deal - https://sydneytools.com.au/product/makita-df333dwy-12v-max-1…

    You get the case, battery and charger for $109

    While you do get about 59% off the Amazon deal, the RRP is a bit inflated anyway, with Bunnings charging RRP as well

    • Nice one!

    • Only downside is that 1.5 battery. Not so much the actual power of it but the fact it doesn't have the remaining power gauge which I quite like having
