Warranty Information


Q:  What is the difference between LXT and LXT Compact?

A:  The benefits of Makita Lithium-Ion technology are shared between the two features, i.e.- Less Weight, Better Fit, More Power, More Work. Since there is only one LXT Compact product, the 1/2" driver-drill, a dimensions and weight comparison between the driver-drills of both platforms shows that the LXT Compact version is 1 lb, or 21%, lighter and  1-3/8", or 14%, shorter in length. The compact battery (BL1815) is 0.5lbs, or 37% lighter than the BL1830. From a performance perspective, the LXT Compact 1/2" Driver-Drill is 110 in. lbs. less in torque than the BHP451 or BDF451.

Q:  What are the core applications for the BDF452HW?

A:  The core applications are repetitive tasks that benefit from super compact tool size, maximum power, and less weight to reduce fatigue: finish work, assembly, cabinet installation, and mechanical work. (TEK screws, Course drywall wood screws, Drywall Metal Framing, Door hardware, Long Roofing screws, sheating) 

Q: For whom did Makita design the new LXT Compact?

A:  The typical ACE TOOL customers who might benefit from this tool are: Residential Contractors, Finishing Specialists, Cabinet Installers, Commercial Electricians, Mechanical Contractors, Sprinkler Contractors, and HVAC shops and installers.

Q:  What advantages does Makita's LXT Compact Driver-Drill have over other manufacturers Ni-Cd compact driver-drill?

A: The LXT Compact 1/2" Driver-Drill packs the same torque with 2 lbs., or 32% less weight, than the leading competitorï's model. With more power and less weight, the BDF452HW also has a better ergonomic fit with your hand making it easy to pick up yet tough to put down since it reduces hand fatigue. Finally, the fast charger allows for continuous use of the tool with no down time while other models requires over 30 minutes of down time since its charger cannot actively cool down the Ni-Cd battery before charging. The capacity of most other leading batteries is 1.7Ah vs. 1.5Ah for Makita.

Q:  How does the BDF452HW compare with the leading competitor in basic tests?

A:   Test 1: Drove 3" x 6 lag bolts into a layer of two 1.5" thick SPF stock in high speed mode.

Test 2: Drove 3 1/2 x 9 lag bolts into a layer of two 1.5" thick SPF stock in low speed mode. For both tests, Makita and the competitor performed at the same speed but the BDF452HW drove 10% more lag bolts.

Test 3: Drilled holes through 1.5" SPF stock with 7/8" spade bit in high speed mode.  Both Makita and the leading competitor drilled the same number of holes but Makita was 5% faster.

Q:  Will the fast charging capability of the DC18RA reduce the battery life like other fast chargers on the market?

A: No. The same Makita Optimum Charging System technology is employed in the DC18RA. By controlling temperature, voltage, and current, the DC18RA can charge the battery fast and not compromise battery performance and life. This is just one of the features of Makita's exciting new LXT technology.

QDoes the BL1815 battery fit the LXT series of products? Why?

A:  No. The BL1815 battery is keyed differently because it is designed to complement the LXT Compact 1/2" Driver-Drill. Makita's premium LXT lithium-ion power tools are used in applications that generally require longer run times that only the 3.0Ah batteries can provide.

QHow fast does the DC18RA charge Makita 1.5Ah and 3.0Ah lithium-ion batteries?

A:  The DC18RA can charge a Makita 1.5Ah battery in 15 minutes or less and 22 minutes for a 3.0Ah battery. Please note: When one can sense that the power of the tool is decreasing, it is always better for both the tool and the battery to stop using the battery and place it on the charger. If a battery is completely discharged, especially under load, the charge times can be 10 minutes or more. The charge time will still be shorter than with the existing charger and even shorter for conventional Ni-Cd/Ni-MH battery chargers.

Q What kind of batteries can be charged with the DC18RA?

A:  Any Makita slide-type battery from 7.2V to 18V can be charged. With the Makita Interchangeable Adaptor ADP04, pod and stick type batteries can be charged from 7.2V to 18V.

Q:  Why does the DC18RA have musical tones but does not have volume control?

A:  The new charger has musical tones as well as a beep to alert the end-user when the battery is fully charged. It does not have a volume control because it was not designed to compete with job site noise. The music is completely optional and one can choose the quiet mode.

Q: Will the LXT Compact BHP452HW come with the same 3 year warranty as other LXT tools?

A: Yes. The LXT Compact 1/2" Driver-Drill comes with the same 3 year warranty as all of the other LXT tools.
