by admin on June 19, 2009

The new cordless Lithium-Ion Makita 18v impact driver offers a new four pole motor that delivers more power than the previous two pole motors.  The 3lbs of power in an 18volt tool provides amazing results in all aspects of construction.

Lithium-Ion technology allows this impact driver longer run time, plus it boasts a 30-minute rapid charger, which promises a more efficient tool with less down time for charging. There are also built-in L.E.D. lights to illuminate the workplace for added precision.

This drill will definitely impress its user when this one tool can impact, hammer drill, driver, and drill. The hybrid drives LDT concrete anchors, drives screws with clutch settings, and can drill into wood, metal, and plastic. The Makita 18v impact driver will save you time and effort; it drives screws into wood up to 30% faster than a conventional drill/driver plus no pilot hole is needed even in hardwood.
The Makita 18v impact driver uses Lithium-ion batteries, which feature a high energy density technology delivering 300% more working capacity during the lifetime of the battery when compared to traditional Ni-cad batteries. The batteries themselves are 40% lighter than comparable Ni-MH batteries.

Key Features of the Makita 18v Impact Driver are listed below:

  • Makita built, 4-pole maximum torque motor, which delivers 1,330 in. lbs. of efficient torque in a compact size.
  • 50% more compact design at only 5-3/4″ long and weighs only 3.4 lbs. for less operator fatigue.

  • LXT Lithium-Ion giving longer run time, 5x lower self-discharge (for use any time) and 16 firm holding contact terminals (for constant high power).
  • 30-Minute Rapid Optimum Charger communicates with the battery’s built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling voltage, current and temperature.
  • 30-Minute Rapid Optimum Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery to ensure longer lifetime work.
  • Warranty for 3 years on tool itself plus a 1-year warranty on battery & charger.
