Makita CX205RB 18V LXT® Sub-Compact Cordless Combo Kit for Professionals

Makita has introduced a groundbreaking line of cordless tools known as the 18V LXT® Sub-Compact Tools, marking a new category in this segment. The Makita® Sub-Compact Products provide users with the handling ease of 12V tools, while delivering the performance capabilities of 18V models. They are also compatible with the largest 18V cordless tool system available globally.

Among these innovations, the CX205RB combo kit stands out, featuring two 18V sub-compact solutions that excel at drilling, driving, and fastening in confined spaces. This kit includes an ultra-compact, brushless hammer driver-drill and an impact driver. The hammer drill is equipped with a percussive setting, enabling users to drill into tough materials such as masonry and brick. It boasts two speed settings and a robust metal jampot design, ensuring durability during rigorous tasks. The tool delivers an impressive peak torque of 350 in.lbs., achieves speeds of up to 1,700 RPM, and generates 25,500 BPM, making it versatile for a variety of applications.

The brushless impact driver included in the kit features a variable-speed mechanism with two speed settings, providing a maximum torque output of 1,240 in.lbs. One of its standout features is the Assist Mode (A-mode), which minimizes the risks of “screw cam-out” and “cross threading” by operating at a reduced speed until the fastening begins, ensuring a secure fit and improved precision.

As part of Makita’s growing 18V LXT System, the tools are powered by lithium-ion slide-style batteries, which comprise the largest cordless tool system in the world. Makita® 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries excel in charge times, allowing users to spend more time working and less time waiting for their batteries to recharge.

Enhancing tool efficiency and prolonging battery life, Makita has developed Star Protection Computer Controls™. This innovative communication technology facilitates real-time data exchange between theStar Protection-equipped tools and batteries. It actively monitors conditions during use to safeguard against potential issues such as overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. For ultimate versatility, these tools can also operate with Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries featuring the star symbol, which indicates they are equipped with Star Protection technology.

The hammer driver-drill is designed for enhanced user comfort, weighing just 3.1 lbs. with the battery attached, thereby reducing operator fatigue during extended use. Its compact and ergonomic structure measures only 6-1/2" in length, making it an ideal choice for working in tight spaces.

In addition, the mechanical variable 2-speed transmission offers a range of speeds (0-500 & 0-1,700 RPM; 0-7,500 & 0-25,500 BPM), ensuring that the tool is suited for a wide variety of drilling, fastening, and hammer drilling tasks. The Makita-built Brushless Motor, engineered for high performance, delivers a peak torque of 350 in.lbs., combined with a strong metal jampot design that enhances durability and resilience in demanding job sites.

This combination of features solidifies Makita’s commitment to innovation, quality, and performance in the cordless tool market, making their products an excellent choice for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
