This Makita 12V max CXT cordless 3/8' / 1/4' square drive ratchet is a versatile and powerful tool designed for a wide range of fastening tasks. Included in the package are a 3/8' square drive anvil adapter (RW01, 191A50 - 3) and a 1/4' square drive anvil adapter (RW01, 191A51 - 1). The ratchet features interchangeable 3/8' and 1/4' anvils, offering great flexibility. Its high - powered motor generates up to 35 ft.lbs of maximum torque, suitable for various jobs. With variable speed (0 - 800 RPM), it can handle different fastening applications. The electric brake boosts productivity, and when the motor is off, you can use it as a manual ratchet. The built - in LED light brightens up the work area. Weighing only 2.35 lbs with a battery (battery sold separately), it reduces operator fatigue. The ergonomic handle with a rubberized soft grip provides better comfort and control. Its low - profile design makes it perfect for tight spaces and overhead work. It comes with Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), enhancing dust and water resistance in tough job site conditions. The battery protection circuit safeguards against overloading, over - discharging, and over - heating. It belongs to the expanding 12V max CXT® series, which combines high performance with excellent ergonomics in a compact size. Note that it's not compatible with 12V max pod - style tools, batteries, and chargers. It also has a 3 - year limited warranty, and you should only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers. For longer operation, it's compatible with the 12V max CXT Lithium - Ion 4.0Ah battery (BL1041B, sold separately).
Using the Makita 12V max CXT cordless ratchet is easy. First, choose the right anvil adapter (3/8' or 1/4') according to your task and attach it to the ratchet. Insert a fully - charged 12V max CXT Lithium - Ion battery (sold separately) into the tool. You can adjust the speed from 0 to 800 RPM depending on the fastening needs. When you're done using the motor, you can still use it as a regular manual ratchet. Remember, always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to avoid damage and ensure the best performance. Also, this tool isn't compatible with 12V max pod - style tools, batteries, and chargers. After each use, wipe the tool clean to keep it in good condition. If you're working in a dusty or wet environment, the XPT™ technology helps protect the tool, but it's still a good idea to store it in a dry place. Check the battery protection circuit regularly to make sure it's working properly. The tool comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any problems, contact Makita's customer service.
