Makita impact drivers typically offer multiple speed settings to optimize performance for different tasks. The speed settings generally correspond to the following RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) and IPM (Impacts Per Minute) ranges:
Here's a breakdown:
- Soft: Up to 1100 RPM with 1100 IPM. This setting is ideal for delicate work and preventing damage to fasteners or materials.
- Medium: Up to 2100 RPM with 2600 IPM. Provides a balance between speed and control for general-purpose applications.
- Hard: Up to 3200 RPM with 3600 IPM. Suited for demanding tasks requiring high speed and power.
- Max: Up to 3600 RPM with 3800 IPM. Delivers maximum speed and impact for the toughest fastening jobs.
Note: Specific speed settings and ranges may vary slightly depending on the exact Makita impact driver model. Always refer to the tool's manual for precise information.
