Makita launches its “most powerful” TD004G Driver to market

Makita has launched a new impact driver, with reportedly the most powerful in its XGT line-up, with the launch of the TD004G 40VMax XGT Brushless Impact Driver. This product has reportedly been designed for superior performance for a range of applications, including heavy duty tasks.

Powered by Makita’s 40VMax XGT Li-Ion battery, the TD004G offers a maximum fastening torque of 230 Newton metres (Nm), a no-load speed of up to 3,900 rpm and delivers up to 3,900 impacts per minute (ipm) for exceptional driving efficiency. Despite its power it is still compact and lightweight making it easy and comfortable to use.

The high torque of the TD004G means it can reportedly provide enhanced speed and efficiency on fasteners that are not prone to cam-out, such as hex head and hexalobular (star shaped hole head screws). In addition, the TD004G is said to be ideal when working with hard materials such as Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL).

The TD004G also offers excellent control. It features a variable speed trigger and four power modes that alter the speed, impacts per minute, and torque for easy adjustment to the type of fastener and material. It also has a T mode to reduce the risk of screw stripping when driving self-drilling screws (Tek screws) into metal sheets.

The brushless motor of the TD004G reduces wasted energy and improves power delivery compared with a conventional brushed motor. This means longer runtimes on a single charge and fewer interruptions to swap and charge the battery.

For ease of use the TD004G features one-touch tool-less bit change with reduced resistance for easier fitting, and twin led job lights with pre-glow and after-glow functions for better visibility of the workpiece.

Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita, commented: “This latest addition to our range of 40VMax XGT impact drivers has been designed to help achieve greater speed and efficiency on the most demanding fixing and fastening tasks. This alongside its simple power adjustment based on the job at hand makes the TD004G a valuable addition to many professionals’ kit.”
