Product Detail
The Makita 12V Max CXT™ Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Impact Driver is a powerhouse in a small package. It offers outstanding power and speed, making it perfect for efficient driving and fastening tasks. With Makita's 12V Max CXT™ Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries, you'll enjoy better balance and comfort compared to pod-style batteries. These batteries come with an on-board LED charge level indicator for added convenience. Weighing just 2.1 lbs (with a 2.0Ah battery), this impact driver can deliver up to 1,200 in.lbs of maximum torque. It features an Assist Mode (A-mode) that drives at a low speed until tightening starts, helping to prevent 'cam-out' and 'cross threading'. The DT04R1 is a great choice for those who need a more compact and lightweight impact driver, especially for work in tight spaces. For longer run times, it's compatible with the 12V Max CXT™ Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah battery (BL1041B). The 12V Max CXT™ Lithium-Ion batteries have a Battery Protection Circuit to safeguard against overloading, over-discharging, and over-heating. It's part of the growing 12V Max CXT™ series, which combines high performance with excellent ergonomics in a compact design. The kit includes a 12V Max CXT™ Brushless Impact Driver (DT04Z), two 12V Max CXT™ Lithium-Ion 2.0Ah Batteries (BL1021B), a 12V Max CXT™ Lithium-Ion Charger (DC10WD), and a tool case. The BL™ Brushless Motor in this impact driver is ultra-compact yet can deliver 1,200 in.lbs of maximum torque. It has a Variable 2-speed feature (0 - 1,300/0 - 3,000 RPM & 0 - 1,600/0 - 3,900 IPM) for a wide range of fastening applications. Measuring only 5 - 5/16 inches long, it has a compact and ergonomic design. The efficient BL™ Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use, giving you up to 50% longer run time per charge. It also eliminates carbon brushes, allowing it to run cooler and more efficiently for a longer lifespan. The electronically-controlled BL™ Brushless Motor adjusts torque and RPM according to the demands of the application. The handle is ergonomically designed with a rubberized soft grip for increased comfort, and there's a built-in LED light to illuminate the work area. It's not compatible with 12V Max pod-style tools, batteries, and chargers, and comes with a 3-year limited warranty on the tool, battery, and charger. Remember to use only genuine Makita batteries and chargers.
Using the Makita 12V Max CXT Brushless Impact Driver is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. Insert the battery into the driver until it clicks into place. Select the appropriate speed setting based on your task. For lighter tasks, use the lower speed; for tougher jobs, switch to the higher speed. The Assist Mode can be handy to prevent screw cam-out and cross-threading - just let it start at a low speed until tightening begins. When working in tight spaces, the compact size of the driver will be a big help. To keep your driver in good shape, after each use, wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth. Store it in a cool, dry place. Don't leave the battery in the driver when not in use. Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and to avoid any damage. Also, remember that it's not compatible with 12V Max pod-style tools, batteries, and chargers. If you have any issues, refer to the 3-year limited warranty for support.
