The Makita 18-Volt LXT Brushless Cordless 1/2 Mixer is a cordless solution ideal for mixing drywall mud, plaster, drilling large holes and much more. The variable speed trigger allows the user to adjust the speed to 0 RPM to 3560 RPM or 0 RPM to 1300 RPM for optimum speed control for the material or application. A soft start suppresses start-up reaction for more control and better accuracy. For added durability in harsh job site conditions, Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance and a protective cover helps prevent battery contamination from mixing compound splash back. Its part of Makitas expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion system, the worlds largest cordless tool system powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating.

It has so much power and last so long, of course it is new. But my son has Makita and they have worked good for him for a long time, that’s why I switched to Makita.

Great product that holds a charge for a long time. Provides power when needed for big projects without having to worry about stopping for a charge or swap out batteries. I like the battery charge remaining lights so I know how much work I still can get from it.

After the $150 sticker shock for this battery subsided, I have been completely satisfied with its longevity while using it to drive deck screws. Lasted a solid 6 hours with continuous use and the charger had it ready to go again in roughly 30 minutes.Highly recommend!

This is my husband’s favorite drill. I bought him the 5.0Ah battery and he loves the extended time, not having to stop to charge it is a game changer.
