Efficient Makita-built brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge
Variable 2-speed 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill (0-550 & 0-1,800 RPM)(0-8,250 & 0-27,000 BPM) with brushless motor delivers 970 in.lbs. of Max Torque for up to 70% more power*; weighs only 4.9 lbs. with battery for a wide range of drilling, fastening and hammer drilling applications
The brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life
The electronically-controlled brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application
Optimization of motor specifications and gear ratios improves efficiency and allows the Hammer Driver-Drill to drill into 2x dimensional lumbers in high speed
Impact Driver with 3-speed power selection switch (0-1,100 / 0-2,100 / 0-3,600 RPM & 0-1,100 / 0-2,600 / 0-3,800 IPM); delivers 1,550 in.lbs. of Max Torque and weighs only 3.3 lbs. with battery
Quick-Shift Mode™ uses the brushless motor's electronic controls to find the best balance of speed and torque for each application for more efficient fastening
Impact Driver features Tightening Mode (T-mode) for faster tightening of self-drilling screws; helps prevent damage to the screw or work piece
Compact and ergonomic design at only 4-5/8" long, the Impact Driver can fit in tight and reduced spaces
Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) which is engineered to provide increased dust and water resistance in harsh job site conditions.
Both 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah battery BL1840B and 2.0Ah battery BL1820B feature an integrated L. E. D. battery charge level indicator
18V LXT® Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah battery BL1840B provides up to 35% more run time per charge
STAR Protection Computer Controls™ allow the tool and battery to monitor conditions during use and exchange data in real time to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating
Batteries come with Impact-resistant outer casings and shock-absorbing inner-liners that are engineered to protect the battery
