The Makita XRF03Z is a remarkable cordless autofeed screwdriver that offers outstanding power and high capacity in a compact design. It comes with several essential accessories, including one belt clip (346449 - 3), one #2 Phillips power bit of 6 - 1/8 inches, and two #2 square power bits of the same length. This screwdriver is a game - changer in drywall, decking, and framing jobs. With its brushless motor, it can achieve a superior fastening speed ranging from 0 to 6,000 RPM. The electronically - controlled brushless motor smartly uses energy, adjusting torque and RPM according to the task at hand. It can drive up to 2,250 screws when paired with an 18V LXT® 5.0Ah battery (sold separately) using the innovative Push Drive™ Technology. In lock - on mode, the motor starts only when the fastener engages, which not only extends the run - time but also reduces motor noise. The autofeed housing has a screwless one - touch hook, making attachment and removal a breeze. Its durable compact screw guide prevents screw strip tangling, and it can accept screws from 1 inch to 2 - 3/16 inches. Weighing just 4.9 lbs with a battery (battery not included), it reduces operator fatigue. The 15 - 5/8 inches long tool has an ergonomic design with a rubberized grip handle for enhanced comfort. The reversible belt clip can be attached to either side of the tool. It features Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) for better dust and water resistance in tough job sites. Makita's technology ensures a category - leading charge time for the batteries. Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™, it safeguards against overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. It's part of Makita's vast 18V LXT® System, powered by 18V lithium - ion slide - style batteries.
Using the Makita XRF03Z is easy. First, attach the belt clip to either side of the tool as per your convenience. Install the appropriate power bit (#2 Phillips or #2 square) for your job. Insert the collated screws into the autofeed mechanism. Make sure you use genuine Makita 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion batteries. Press the lock - on button if you need continuous use. When you start the job, the Push Drive™ Technology will ensure the motor starts only when the fastener engages.
