It's part of Makita's expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, the world's largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. 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. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18-Volt LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.|Fast set fast cure version of J-B Weld|Redesigned floor nozzle for improved maneuverability and debris collection|Strong suction power for fast and efficient cleaning|Bagless 2-stage cloth filtration system allows for easier cleaning and quicker debris disposal|Increased storage capacity for longer time between waste disposal|Compact and ergonomic design at only 18-3/4 in.
