It delivers 1.2 in. Max Torque At only 5-1/10.2 cm and 1.2 kg (with 2.0Ah battery sold separately), it is a mounting solution with superior comfort and handling.
It is part of Makitas expandable 18V LXT system, the worlds largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion batteries. Makita® 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries have the fastest charging times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and longer battery life, Makita developed Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is a 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 overload, over-discharge and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries, with the star symbol on the battery indicating star protection inside.
