Features and Benefits:

• Quick-Shift Mode™ selector has an automatic electronic controller that downshifts and reduces rotation and impact speed prior to driving screw into place, and is engineered to minimize screw thread stripping, screw breakage and damage to work
• 3-speed power selection switch (0-1,400 / 0-2,300 / 0-2,800 RPM and 0-1,300 / 0-2,800 / 0-3,400 IPM) provides the user with precise fastening control for a wide range of applications
• Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) is engineered to provide improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions
• BL™ Brushless Motor delivers 1,500 in./lbs. of maximum torque
• Efficient BL™ Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge

The BL™ Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL™ Motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life. The electronically-controlled BL™ Brushless Motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application. 3 stage battery warning light indicates with its time to recharge the battery. Compact design at only 5-1/8" long and weighs just 3.3 lbs. for reduced operator fatigue. Convenient one-touch 1/4" hex chuck for quick bit changes. Built-in L.E.D. light with an independent on/off switch illuminates the work area. New redesigned rubberized soft grip provides increased comfort on the job. Makita's proprietary hammer and anvil impact mechanism are manufactured using the best raw materials with the highest quality steel and unique heat hardening process for maximum fastening and driving power. LXT Lithium-Ion battery and Rapid Optimum Charger produces 430% total lifetime work with 3x more cycles. LXT Lithium-Ion battery provides 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 current, voltage and temperature.
