Makita BTD142 Repair

The Makita BTD142 is an 18V lithium-ion cordless impact driver that was released and discontinued on two different unknown dates. The number of Makita BTD142s sold is unknown, as well as any recalls or the original selling price. The Makita BTD142 was available to purchase in all countries where Makita products are sold.

Impact drivers are used for quicker building and repairing. This device is designed for professionals to drive screws into material such as wood, metal, and plastic. The short length allows for better control, and the rubber grip on the ergonomically designed handle provides comfort to the user.

There have been minimal complaints of the battery not lasting as long as it should. However, there is more praise for the battery than criticism overall. The biggest praise for the Makita BTD142 is how fast it drives in screws.

The BTD142 has an exact version, the BTD142HW, with the only difference being the name, with HW meaning 'hardware'. They are both discontinued. Both model names are part of the Makita Cordless Impact Drivers family alongside the BTD130F, BTD140, and BTD141. They all have very similar technical specifications.

The Makita BTD142 is compact and lightweight. Its dimensions are 146 x 79 x 218 mm, and the device weighs 2.8 lbs. The Makita BTD142 can run either on a light-weight battery (BL1815) or an optional high-capacity battery (BL1830). The impact driver comes in either teal or white with black rubber detailing. The bumper lights up the work area. It also includes a trigger that changes the speed and a place for an optional belt clip on the side. The Makita logo is on the side of the upper part, and the model number, BTD142, is located at the bottom of the device.
