Makita, a manufacturer of technologically advanced power tools that are more compact with less weight yet deliver industrial strength power and results, has added to its line-up of 18V Lithium-Ion tools which now includes over 40 cordless solutions. The new 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless ½-inch Driver-Drill (model LXFD01) delivers a power-to-weight ratio for a full range of drilling and driving applications. The LXFD01 is powered by a Makita-built 4-pole motor with bigger front end ball bearings. The new planetary gear system and transmission has been redesigned for increased durability in a more compact size, so the LXFD01 is only 7-9/16 inches long and weighs only 3.8 pounds.
