Makita: 20 081 Holes

makita_20081_holes

Convince people that Makita drills are high-precision power tools. Can one power drill be more precise than another? Yes. Makita drills are ergonomically designed to fit perfectly in any hand. They rotate at an optimal speed to minimise vibration. And they have a “shock buffer” system that ensures the perfect pressure of the drill bit point on any surface. So really, a Makita drill goes exactly where you want it to. they drilled over 20.000 holes into a wall to create a huge black and white image of, well, a Makita drill. To create the correct tones, the distances between the holes had to be very carefully calculated.

Muito bom esse outdoor.

Mas o foda é eles usarem uma Black and Decker para fazer os furos, e não uma Makita =s

But why didn’t they use a robot programmed to render a photo as drill holes? Quicker and it would have looked much better.

Wow that’s something you have to be a bit father away from to see (across the street). If you were walking on the street and saw it, you probably would just think it’s some holes in the wall.

A Maktec Impact Drill, (made by The Makita Corporation), was used in the advert, as is clearly visible in the photos supplied. The Maktec brand is classified as an entry level industrial machine.

Imagine – If the little brother to Makita can do the work – how long the real deal will last?

BOM DIA MARIO;
A MAQUINA USADA É UMA MAKTEC. LINHA PROFISSIONAL DA MAKITA E NÃO UMA BLACK E DECKER. A COR É SEMELHANTE MAIS A MARCA CERTAMENTE NÃO É A MESMA.
