Makita has introduced a revolutionary class of cordless tools with its 18V LXT® Sub-Compact series. These tools offer the ease of use of 12V devices but deliver the power of 18V ones. They are also compatible with the world's largest 18V cordless tool system. The CX203SYB combo kit is perfect for drilling, driving, and fastening in tight spots. It includes an ultra-compact brushless driver-drill and an impact driver. The driver-drill has two speed settings, a durable metal jampot design, and can produce 350 in.lbs. of peak torque. The variable-speed brushless impact driver also has two speed settings and can reach a maximum torque of 1,240 in.lbs. Its Assist Mode (A-mode) helps prevent'screw cam-out' and 'cross threading' by starting at a low speed until tightening begins. This kit is part of Makita's extensive 18V LXT System, powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries that charge faster than others in their category, meaning more work time and less charging time. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ enhance tool performance and extend battery life. This communication technology allows the tool and battery to exchange data in real time, protecting against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. Tools can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol, indicating Star Protection inside. The kit comes with an 18V LXT® Sub-Compact Brushless 1/2' Driver-Drill, an 18V LXT® Sub-Compact Brushless Impact Driver, an 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Charger, two 18V Compact Lithium-Ion Batteries, and a tool bag. The driver-drill weighs only 2.9 lbs. with the battery, reducing operator fatigue, and has a compact and ergonomic design, only 5-7/8' long. It features a mechanical variable 2-speed transmission (0-500 & 0-1,700 RPM) for various applications and a Makita-built brushless motor for high torque. The impact driver weighs just 2.6 lbs. with the battery, is 5-1/4' long, and has a variable 2-speed system (0-1,300/0-3,000 RPM & 0-2,000/0-4,100 IPM). Its ultra-compact design and high torque make it great for tight spaces. The efficient brushless motor optimizes battery use, runs cooler, and has a longer life. Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) makes it resistant to dust and water, suitable for harsh conditions. The kit comes with a 3-year limited warranty on the tool, battery, and charger, and it's recommended to use only genuine Makita batteries and chargers.
Using the Makita CX203SYB combo kit is a breeze. First, make sure you charge the 18V Compact Lithium-Ion Batteries fully using the included charger. When using the driver-drill, select the appropriate speed setting based on your task. For lighter drilling or fastening, use the lower speed (0 - 500 RPM), and for more demanding jobs, switch to the higher speed (0 - 1,700 RPM). The metal jampot design ensures durability during use. For the impact driver, utilize the Assist Mode (A - mode) when you're worried about'screw cam - out' or 'cross threading'. Just start driving at low speed, and it'll handle the rest. You can choose between two speed settings depending on the job: 0 - 1,300/0 - 3,000 RPM and 0 - 2,000/0 - 4,100 IPM. Remember to always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to keep the tools working properly. When you're done, store the tools in the included tool bag to protect them. To maintain the tools, keep them clean and dry. After using them in harsh conditions, wipe off any dust or water. Thanks to the Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), they're more resistant to these elements, but a little care goes a long way. Also, the Star Protection Computer Controls™ will help protect the tools from overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. The kit comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you run into any problems, reach out to Makita for support.
