Brushless motors can run at 0-2, 500 RPM and have more torque to handle fastening jobs that require a lot of power.
In lock-on mode, the motor starts only when the fastener is in place. This makes the work environment quieter and saves battery power, so it’s a good idea to use this mode.
Consistent screw-fastening performance is provided by a nose piece that can be adjusted in depth.
It doesn’t have carbon brushes, so the BL motor runs cooler and more efficiently for a longer time.
A powerful BL Brushless motor is electronically controlled to make the most of battery power for up to 50% more run time per charge.
In high-demand jobs, the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion cordless 2, 500 RPM drywall screwdriver (model XSF04Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately) sets a new standard for speed and power. It has a Makita Brushless motor that gives it more power, speed, and run time. It also has a longer tool life. A special technology called “push drive” makes it possible to set the 18V 2, 500 RPM screwdriver to lock-on mode, which means that the motor only starts when the screw is in place. There will be less noise for contractors to work in this way, and it will also save them battery power. It’s made with extreme protection technology (XPT), which is designed to be more dust and water resistant for use on a job site. Use it to hang sheetrock, metal framing, subfloors, backer board, and decking. In Makita’s growing 18V Lithium-Ion system, which is the world’s largest cordless tool system that runs on 18V Lithium-Ion slide batteries, this tool is one of many that can be added. 18V lithium-ion batteries from Makita have the fastest charge times in their categories because they work more and don’t have to wait as long to be charged.
If you need to drive screws into drywall or cement board at the right depth, it’s a great tool to have.
You should get the impact driver if you don’t have either of these tools. It’s not a screw gun with a depth setting.
