The Makita 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Impact Driver delivers power and speed in an ultra-compact size for efficient driving and fastening. With Makita 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries, users get superior balance and ergonomics over pod-style batteries. For added convenience the batteries include an on-board L.E.D. charge level indicator. The 12V max CXT® Impact Driver weighs only 2.1 lbs. (with 2.0Ah battery), and delivers 1,200 in.lbs. of Max Torque. It features Assist Mode (A-mode), a setting that helps eliminate “cam-out” and “cross threading” by driving at low speed until tightening begins. The DT04R1 is an ideal solution for users seeking a more compact impact driver with less weight and for applications in tight spaces. For longer run time, 12V max CXT® cordless tools are also compatible with the 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah battery (BL1041B). 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion batteries are engineered with a Battery Protection Circuit that protects against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating. It’s part of the expanding 12V max CXT® series, combining performance with superior ergonomics in a compact size.
