Makita created a new class in cordless with 18 V LXT® Sub-Compact Tools. Makita® Sub-Compact Products give users 12V handling with 18 V performance and compatibility with the world's largest 18 V cordless tool system. The CX205RB is a combo kit with two 18 V sub-compact solutions for drilling, driving and fastening in tight spaces. The kit includes an ultra-compact brushless hammer driver-drill and impact driver. The percussive hammer-drill setting allows for drilling into masonry and brick. It features two-speed settings and a metal jampot design for durability. It delivers 350 in-lb of Peak Torque, speed up to 1700 rpm and 25,500 bpm for a wide range of applications. The variable-speed brushless impact driver has two-speed settings and delivers 1240 in-lb of max torque. It features Assist Mode (A-mode), which helps eliminate "screw cam-out" and "cross threading" by driving at low speed until tightening begins. It's part of Makita's expanding 18 V LXT System, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18 V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita® 18 V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. 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 Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
