An 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 5-piece Combo Kit (model XT506S) from Makita includes five high-performance cordless tools for drilling, driving, fastening, cutting, and cleaning along with a cordless flashlight to illuminate your work area when you need it. You’ll also get the fastest-charging 3.0Ah batteries in the industry, as well as the expansive breadth of the Makita 18V LXT battery platform, which means your batteries will be able to power an ever-expanding range of Makita power tools and accessories. One of the features of the XT506S is that it comes with a variable speed 12” driver-drill with two speed settings, as well as a variable speed impact driver with a maximum torque of 1,460 inch-pounds. In addition to a refined crank mechanism for faster cutting and demolition applications, the Recipro saw also includes a blower that can move air at speeds of up to 179 miles per hour for more efficient clean-ups. Designed for improved visibility in low light conditions, the 4-position flashlight with Xenon bulb provides bright and portable illumination. As part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries, this tool is capable of a wide range of tasks. With the fastest charge times in their respective categories, Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries allow users to spend more time working and less time waiting for their batteries to charge. Makita developed Star protection Computer controls in order to improve tool performance while simultaneously extending battery life. A star protection system is a type of communication technology that allows a tool and battery equipped with Star Protection to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions while in use in order to prevent overloading, over-discharging, and overheating from occurring.
I’d been putting off purchasing battery-operated tools for years, and I’d been missing out on some great opportunities. I have a couple of show vehicles (a 1978 truck and a 1969 Corvette), and one of the mechanics who works on them is always using Makita tools to complete his work. I figured I’d take the hint, and I’m glad I did because it was spot on. The tools are extremely comfortable in your hand and have a significant amount of torque. They are small and appear to be able to squeeze through small openings. I’ve used them a lot more than I anticipated I would in the future.
