Even if it’s not Makita, “keyless is now standard.”
Until last year, everything was 100V, so they all had “keys attached” .
It’s a small thing, but it’s definitely “a hassle” .
“Keyless” with “metal chuck” is what I choose (*’ω’*)


This is what a keyed chuck looks like.
You use this key to tighten and loosen it.
The key can easily get lost, and for tasks like “pilot hole to expansion,” you end up swapping drill bits repeatedly. Everyone thinks it’s “a pain” .

And yet…
it’s been keyless from the start, so convenient…
Plus, it’s reassuring “steel” (´∀`*)
Not plastic. It’s steel, so “super durable” = “a sign of reliability”
Especially if “you don’t prioritize lightness,” then DF486D is what I think is best.


“Hand-tighten and remove the drill bit – done ♬”
I’ve even made my lathe keyless, so it’s super convenient.
I wish everything was keyless.
Drills are now in the keyless era
Most modern drills are keyless.
But if you still have a keyed one, why not take this opportunity to “upgrade from 100V to cordless – and get keyless too” and boost your work efficiency?
