MAKITA has expanded its advanced cordless range with the introduction of two new high performance combo kits, the DLX3193TJ and the DLX4195JX1. Designed to give trade professionals greater productivity and value, the two sets combine Makita’s industry leading LXT 18V technology with a selection of powerful tools, supplied in convenient carry cases. Offering versatility, reliability and long runtimes, both provide an efficient solution for users looking to expand their tools.
The Makita DLX3193TJ 18 V 3pc cordless kit is designed for tradespeople who require reliable performance across trimming, planing and drilling applications. Supplied in a Makpac Type 4 carry case, the kit includes two BL1850B 5.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries and a DC 18 RC Rapid Charger, along with three efficient power tools, starting with the DHP490 Combi Drill. Ideal for demanding drilling and fastening tasks, the combi drill is equipped with a powerful brushless motor to ensure a high torque output of 65Nm, whilst remaining compact. Additionally, the tool offers variable speed control for precise operation.
Also included is the DKP181 Planer, which has an 82 mm planing width and up to 3 mm cutting depth, which can be easily adjusted, as well as an electric brake for maximum productivity and operator safety. Another addition is the DRT50 Router Trimmer, that offers adjustable speed control from 10,000-30,000 rpm and a soft start up feature for better accuracy.
Alternatively, the DLX4195JX1 18 V LXT 4pc Combo Kit includes three 5.0 Ah batteries, a fast charger, two Makpac stacking cases for easy portability, and four high-performance brushless tools.
Featured is the DHP489 Combi Drill, which provides excellent drilling capacity, effortlessly driving a 1-inch ship auger bit through two pieces of lumber in high-speed mode. It also has a robust keyless drill chuck with a single metal sleeve and a metal gear housing for added strength. The DTD173 Impact Driver included in the kit features an electronic four stage impact power selector, providing versatile performance and straightforward operation. Its slim and well-balanced body design also enhances user comfort.
Next, the DGA504 Angle Grinder maintains a constant speed under load, automatically adjusting the cutting speed according to the load conditions to ensure optimum performance. Finally, the DHR243 Rotary Hammer has three operator modes for hammering, rotation and a combination of the two, and uses a joint construction believed to be unique to supress the transmission of vibrations to protect the battery terminals.
Kevin Brannigan, marketing manager at Makita UK, commented: “We are pleased to announce the addition of our two new combo kits to the range. Since both of these kits also include the 5.0 Ah LXT batteries, each tool provides longer runtimes, making them ideal for high-load operations.”
