Makita's new Compact Extreme Technology (CXT) introduces a range of 12V tools featuring a new slide battery. The CXT range is similar to the 18V LXT Li-Ion battery used in the heavier tool range, and has multi-contact terminals to ensure stable contact even under extreme work vibration conditions. The slide battery fits easily into the tools and new chargers and has the same high level of structural strength as well as having built-in protection to prevent overload or over discharging. The Makita TW161DZ is a cordless impact wrench, running on a 12V battery system, with a brushless motor for improved run time and tool life, LED job light and a 1/2" square drive. Features 'reverse rotation auto stop mode' - this mode works only when pulling the trigger fully in anti-clockwise rotation. When the bolt/nut gets loosened enough, the tool stops the impact and rotation in just 0.2 seconds.
