The 18V LXT Lithium-Ion cordless drywall screwdriver kit (model XSF03T) breaks new ground for drywall contractors. It is ideal for hanging Sheetrock, metal framing, installing subfloors, backer board, and decking applications. It's powered by a Makita BL Brushless Motor for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. With the exclusive push drive technology, the 18V drywall screwdriver can be set on lock-on mode so the motor starts only when the fastener is engaged. This gives contractors a quieter work environment, and also saves on battery power. It’s built for added durability with Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), which is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh job site conditions. The 18V LXT 5.0 Ah battery provides 65% more run time per charge than the 3.0 Ah battery (BL1830), yet it charges in only 45 minutes – the fastest charge-time in the category – for less downtime and increased productivity. For added convenience, the battery features an integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator.
