The Makita 18V LXT® Brushless cordless 1/2” mixer is a cordless solution ideal for mixing drywall mud, plaster, drilling large holes and much more. The variable speed trigger allows the user to adjust the speed to 0-3560 RPM or 0-1300 RPM for optimum speed control for the material or application. A soft start suppresses start-up reaction for more control and better accuracy. For added durability in harsh job site conditions, extreme protection technology (XPT™) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance, and a protective cover helps prevent battery contamination from mixing compound splash back.
