It has an efficient brushless motor with two speed settings and dual LED lights to illuminate the work area. At only 5-7/8 in long, it is a compact drilling and driving solution with great comfort and handling. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18 V LXT system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18 V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18 V LXT lithium-ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18 V LXT lithium-ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
