In lock-on mode, the motor starts only when the fastener is pushed in, which means that the battery lasts longer and drywall can be installed faster.
The BL motor can go from 0 to 4, 000 RPM to handle a wide range of drywall and framing applications.
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.
The BL Brushless motor, which is controlled by an electronic system, efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the needs of the application as they change.
The 18V LXT Lithium-Ion cordless drywall screwdriver kit (model XSF03R) is a big step forward for drywall contractors. It has a lot of new features. Use it to hang sheetrock, metal framing, subfloors, backer board, and decking. It has a Makita BL Brushless motor that gives it more power, speed, and run time, as well as longer tool life. With the unique push drive technology, the 18V drywall screwdriver can be set to lock-on mode, which means the motor only starts when the fastener is in the hole. 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. The 18V LXT 2.0 Ah battery has 50% more run time per charge than the 1.5Ah battery (BL1815), and it charges in just 25 minutes, which is the fastest charge time in its category. This means less downtime and more productivity. For added convenience, the battery has an L.E.D. battery charge level indicator built in. You can use it with the Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion Series, which is the world’s largest line of cordless tools powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery, which is the world’s largest line of cordless tools. 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.
These tools might be the best ones I’ve bought a while.
A small drywall job led me to buy this tool. It will be used a lot next year, when I build a new house.
If you need to drive screws, especially in soft woods, this tool is a must-have.
Set this to drive the screw head to the same level as the wood instead of using a drill or a driver.
This week, I made nine pairs of window shutters out of red cedar for my house. Each shutter was put together with glue and 12 screws to keep it in place, like a puzzle.
Cedar wood is very easy to split. As long as I used this screw gun, I didn’t have to worry about splitting or going too far.
Definitely worth it.
