Product Description
The Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Compact Brushless Cordless Impact Driver Kit (XDT13R) offers outstanding versatility and performance. Its efficient Makita BL™ Brushless Motor boosts runtime by up to 50%, along with more power, speed, and a longer tool lifespan. The kit comes with two 18V LXT® 2.0Ah batteries that charge fully in just 25 minutes - the quickest in its class - reducing downtime and upping productivity. The XDT13R is designed for a wide range of driving and fastening jobs, like fastening deck, TEK, and cabinet screws, and tightening lag bolts. It's perfect for HVAC workers, electricians, plumbers, auto mechanics, woodworkers, remodelers, and professional contractors who need a top - notch cordless impact driver. It's part of Makita's growing 18V Lithium - Ion series, the world's largest cordless tool lineup powered by an 18V Lithium - Ion slide - style battery. Makita 18V Lithium - Ion batteries charge fast, so they work more and sit on the charger less. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ enhance tool performance and extend battery life. This communication technology enables real - time data exchange between the tool and battery, monitoring conditions to prevent overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. The tool can also run on Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium - Ion batteries with the star symbol, indicating Star Protection. The kit includes one 18V LXT® Brushless Impact Driver (XDT13Z), two 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Compact 2.0Ah Batteries (BL1820B), one 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Rapid Optimum Charger (DC18RC), and one tool case (141856 - 3). The BL™ Brushless Motor provides 1,500 in.lbs. of max torque and variable speed (0 - 3,400 RPM & 0 - 3,600 IPM) for various fastening tasks. It runs cooler and more efficiently, optimizing battery use. With a compact 5 - inch design, it weighs only 2.8 lbs. with the battery, reducing operator fatigue. It has a convenient 1/4 - inch hex chuck for fast bit changes, dual L.E.D. lights for work area illumination, a rubberized soft grip for comfort, an all - aluminum gear housing for durability, and Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) for better dust and water resistance. Its proprietary hammer and anvil impact mechanism is made with high - quality steel and a unique heat - hardening process for maximum power. The Rapid Optimum Charger actively controls current, voltage, and temperature to optimize battery life and has a built - in fan to cool the battery.
Using the Makita 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion Compact Brushless Cordless Impact Driver Kit is easy. First, charge the 18V LXT® 2.0Ah batteries using the Rapid Optimum Charger. It takes only 25 minutes for a full charge. Once charged, insert the battery into the impact driver. For different fastening jobs, adjust the variable speed settings according to your needs. The 1/4 - inch hex chuck allows you to quickly change bits. When working, the built - in dual L.E.D. lights will illuminate the work area. Some things to note: Don't overload the tool. Thanks to Star Protection Computer Controls™, it can protect against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating, but still use it within its limits. Avoid using it in extremely wet or dusty conditions, although it has XPT™ for better resistance. For maintenance, after each use, wipe the tool clean with a dry cloth. Check the bit for wear and replace it if necessary. Keep the battery in a cool, dry place. If the tool isn't going to be used for a long time, remove the battery and store it separately. The Rapid Optimum Charger has a built - in fan to cool the battery during charging, which helps to increase the battery's lifespan. Just follow these simple steps, and your Makita impact driver kit will serve you well for a long time.
