Makita, manufacturer of high-quality professional tools, power equipment and accessories, has released the 18V LXT® Brushless 4-Speed Impact Driver – a new impact driver offering multiple speed sections for precise fastening control with a wide range of applications.
The impact driver combines power, speed and precision with a four speed power selector button positioned on the rear of the impact driver, which enables one-handed speed changes. It also includes a reverse rotation auto-stop mode which stops rotation and impact when the fastener is loosened adequately to help prevent over-loosening and dropped fasteners.
Makita’s impact driver features Assist Mode (A-mode) which helps eliminate ‘screw cam-out’ and ‘cross threading’ by driving at low speed until tightening begins. Other features include two Tightening Modes (T-mode) for faster tightening of self-drilling screws in thick or thin gauge metal that helps prevent damage to the screw or workpiece.
Becca is the latest member to join our team and is eager to get stuck into the world of fasteners. She brings an enthusiastic and fresh outlook on what we do editorially and will be leading our social media activity – including sourcing material, editing articles and posting online.
