Makita Upgrades LXDT04 Impact Driver and LXPH01 Hammer Driver-Drill
Makita has added to its groundbreaking line-up of 18V Lithium-Ion tools which now includes over 50 cordless solutions. The new 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Impact Driver (LXDT04) and 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless ½" Hammer Driver-Drill (model LXPH01) are upgrades to market-leading models already at work on job sites across the U.S. These new tools have been engineered with two key upgrades and distinguished by an updated teal trade dress.
"Makita continues to be the undisputed market leader in 18 volt Lithium-Ion," said Ethan Haughawout, Makita Product Manger, Cordless Tools. "We started the 18 volt Lithium-Ion revolution in 2005 and other power tool companies have been playing catch-up ever since. The upgrades to these two jobsite staples include more power and less weight than the previous models, and it’s another example of our ongoing dedication to deliver best-in-class trade solutions for the pro user."
