Makita has the worlds largest 18 V cordless tool line-up and the 18 V LXT® Lithium-Ion cordless two piece combo kit packs two compact cordless tools with efficient brushless motors for a full range of drilling, driving and fastening applications. The XT269M includes a versatile 1/2 in hammer driver drill with all metal gear construction for applications in wood, metal and masonry. The powerful impact driver weighs only 3.3 lb (with 4 Ah battery), yet delivers a full 1500 in-lb of torque. Both tools are equipped with an efficient and compact brushless motor that is engineered for longer runtime, increased power and speed and longer tool life. The 18 V LXT® 4 Ah battery has a category leading charge time of only 40 min for less downtime and increased productivity and includes an on-board LED charge level indicator for increased convenience. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star protection is 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 overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18 V LXT® and compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating star protection inside. 18 V LXT® 4 Ah batteries (BL1840 and BL1840B) are compatible only with star protection tools, indicated by the star symbol™ and/or yellow battery receiver under the tool. There are over 125 Makita 18 V cordless tools with star protection and more are on the way.
