Portable Electric Tools: Makita LXFD01CW 18V Compact Lithium-ion cordless driver-drill
Makita has released the new 18V Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless ½" Driver-Drill, model LXFD01CW. It is powered by a Makita-built 2-piece, 4-pole motor with bigger and stronger front-end ball bearings and heavy gauge copper winding on the armature. The advanced engineering delivers 480 in.lbs. of Max Torque and 290 in.lbs. of PTI Torque for 30 in.lbs. more power than the BDF452HW.
The new planetary gear system and transmission has been redesigned for increased durability in a more compact size, so the LXFD01CW is 7/16" smaller and weighs only 3.3 lbs.
The LXFD01CW has 16 clutch settings and an all-metal 2-speed transmission (0-400/0-1,500 RPM) to cover a wide range of drilling and driving applications. The improved ergonomic design with a new rubberized soft grip delivers increased comfort on the job, and the built-in L.E.D. light illuminates the job area for applications in dark spaces and close quarters.
The LXFD01CW is a kit and includes the Driver-Drill, two 18V Compact Lithium-Ion batteries, one ENERGY STAR qualified Rapid Optimum Charger, tool belt clip, and tool case.
