THE DRILL THAT STARTED IT ALL!!! THE MAKITA 6010D!!! Let’s check it out and Take it to bits!

I was 8 when this iconic drill first came out in 1978!! 8 years before I started my plumbing apprenticeship probably at the time tradeys thought it was a joke or a novelty!!! This thing will never catch on the old tradeys said!! Probably??? Well look what we have today!! Pretty much every trade on every job site doesn’t use corded tools anymore it’s all cordless and this is where it started!! Yes black and decker has there battery drill years before but it never really caught on ( I wish I could get hold of one of those!!!) so let’s have a deep dive into the iconic makita 7.2v 6010D cordless pistol drill!!! #makitacordlesstools #diy #makitatools #cordlesspowertools #plumbing #vintage #oldschool #building #makita

The most impressive thing is that the key is still there 😂

This is very beautiful Makita second one invention cordless drill, The first one cordless had the wire to the battery.

Yes your correct my friend the older one with the lead is a bit of a mystery tool! , can’t find any information about it! Never seen one for sale! Never even seen anyone with one on video! Only seen one photo online, don’t know how many they made or even if they were produced in any numbers or they were just a demo of what’s possible, I’d love to have one if any came up but I would imagine they would be very expensive!! I’d can love to have the black and decker one from the late 60”s as well but they are like hens teeth as well!! Oh well maybe one day, I said the first makita drill was the 6010D because this was the makita drill that was mass market and you can get hold of good examples buuut yes your right 🤟🤟

Still a better design than a Milwaukee modern drill.
