Product Review
Makita is the innovation leader in brushless motor technology and the XT84SX1 Cordless Kit packs two brushless solutions for drilling, driving, and fastening. Each tool has an efficient Makita BL Brushless Motor electronically controlled and engineered for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The Makita 18V LXT Brushless Impact Driver (XDT13Z) combines power and run-time for a full range of fastening tasks. The variable speed brushless motor delivers 0-3, 400 RPM, 0-3, 600 IPM, and up to 1, 500 in. lbs. of max torque for efficient fastening. It has a compact design at 5†long and weighs only 3. 3 pounds (with battery) with an ergonomic soft grip for user comfort. The L. E. D. light illuminates the job area for applications in dark spaces. The Makita 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless 1/2†Square Drive Impact Wrench (XWT13Z) is ideal for working in tight spaces and for overhead applications since the compact size and lower weight reduce operator fatigue. The XDT13Z gives users 12V handling with 18V run time and compatibility with the world’s largest 18V lithium-ion cordless tool system. It has variable two-speed with 0-1, 300/0-2, 400 RPM and 0-2, 000/0-3, 600 IPM and up to 130 ft. lbs. of Max Torque. For added convenience, the Reverse Rotation Auto-Stop Mode stops rotation and impact when the fastener is loosened adequately. These products are part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion batteries. Makita 18V LXT 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 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
