129 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
At 1.2 kilograms, the Maki DA332DZ is the lightest right-angle drill in this group, a meaningful advantage for overhead drilling, tight-space fastening, and jobs where carrying a heavier tool causes fatigue over a full shift. The 10.8-volt platform delivers sufficient power for standard trade applications in wood, drywall, and thin metal.
At 1,100 RPM, the DA332DZ is faster than the Milwaukee 2415-20's 800 RPM within the compact low-voltage class, giving it a slight edge for drilling speed where both voltage levels are otherwise comparable. At $138.25, it is priced between the M12 Milwaukee and the M18 C18RAD-0, offering a competitive value point for buyers committed to this platform.
With 129 reviews and a 4.6-star rating, the DA332DZ has a solid owner base for an ultra-compact right-angle drill. Zero recent monthly purchases suggest it sells periodically rather than continuously, consistent with a specialized lightweight tool serving a specific platform audience.
Pros
- Lightest right-angle drill in the group at 1.2 kilograms
- 1,100 RPM outpaces the Milwaukee 2415-20 within the compact voltage class
- 4.6-star rating from 129 verified reviews
- 10.8-volt platform keeps the tool compact and highly maneuverable
Cons
- 10.8-volt platform limits power for heavy drilling in hard materials
- Zero recent monthly purchases indicate inconsistent or declining demand
- Battery platform is less prevalent than Milwaukee M12 or DEWALT 20V MAX in North American trade settings

Frequently asked questions
What battery does the Maki DA332DZ use?
The listed specs show a 10.8-volt battery platform. Confirm specific battery compatibility and availability with the seller before purchasing.
How does the Maki DA332DZ compare to the Milwaukee 2415-20?
The DA332DZ runs at 1,100 RPM versus the 2415-20's 800 RPM and weighs less at 1.2 kg. Both are compact low-voltage cordless right-angle drills. The Milwaukee 2415-20 carries a much larger review base of 1,793 versus 129 and uses the widely available M12 platform.
Is the Maki DA332DZ suitable for electrical or plumbing work?
Based on its specs and owner sentiment, the DA332DZ's 1.2 kg build and 1,100 RPM suit confined-space trade work. For heavier or sustained drilling, consider an 18-volt or 20-volt right-angle drill. Email hello@toolgalaxy.com with any specific questions.
