Makita's 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Angle Impact Driver (model XLT01) delivers cordless impact power into tough to reach spaces. The versatile XLT01 packs plenty of torque for a wide range of fastening and loosening tasks, yet it weighs just 3.9 lbs. with a slim design and over 1 ft. of tool extension. It's part of Makita's expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, the world's largest cordless tool line-up powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. Makita® 18-Volt 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-Volt LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
