Makita, a manufacturer of power tools and outdoor equipment, has added two new cordless kits to its LXT 18V range: the three-piece DLX3193TJ and the four-piece DLX4195JX1.
Both kits are aimed at trade professionals seeking versatility and reliable runtimes, being supplied in carry cases and including high-capacity 5.0Ah batteries with rapid chargers.
Kit options for trade applications
The DLX3193TJ includes a DHP490 Combi Drill, DKP181 Planer, and DRT50 Router Trimmer.
The drill offers variable speed and 65Nm torque, while the planer has an 82mm planing width and up to 3mm cutting depth.
The router trimmer provides speed control from 10,000–30,000 rpm with a soft start.
The DLX4195JX1, meanwhile, adds a DHP489 Combi Drill, DTD173 Impact Driver, DGA504 Angle Grinder, and DHR243 Rotary Hammer.
The company says the drill can drive a one-inch ship auger bit through two pieces of lumber in high-speed mode and has a keyless drill chuck with a single metal sleeve and a metal gear housing “for added strength.”
It adds that the impact driver features an electronic four stage impact power selector, providing “versatile performance and straightforward operation.”
The grinder maintains a constant speed under load, automatically adjusting the cutting speed according to the load conditions.
Lastly, the rotary hammer features three operator modes for hammering, rotation, and a combination of the two, and uses unique joint construction to supress the transmission of vibrations to protect the battery terminals.
Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita UK, says, “We are pleased to announce the addition of our two new combo kits to the range.
“Since both of these kits also include the 5.0Ah LXT batteries, each tool provides longer runtimes, making them ideal for high-load operations.”
