Makita CX200RB Overview
With 18V LXT® Sub-Compact tools, Makita established a new category in cordless. The Makita Sub-Compact combines 12V handling with 18V performance and adaptability with the world’s most comprehensive 18V cordless tool system. The CX200RB combo kit includes two 18V sub-compact drilling, driving, and fastening solutions.
The kit comes with a 2.8-pound ultra-compact 2-speed brushless drill-driver with two-speed settings and a 2.6-pound variable speed brushless impact driver with two-speed options. Impact driver has an Assist Mode (A-mode) that helps eliminate “screw cam-out” and “cross threading” by driving at a moderate speed until tightening begins, allowing for more efficient fastening.
The package contains two 18V LXT® Compact 2.0Ah batteries that charge in around 25 minutes on the active Rapid Optimum Charger – the most accelerated charge time in the category – resulting in less downtime and higher productivity. The batteries have an inbuilt L.E.D. Battery charge level indicator for enhanced functionality.
It’s part of Makita’s developing 18V LXT® system, the world’s most extensive cordless tool system driven by 18V Lithium-Ion batteries. Makita 18V LXT® batteries have the quickest charge times of their kind, so Makita consumes more time working and less time remaining on the charger.

Makita developed Star Protection Computer Controls to increase tool performance and increase battery life. Star Protection is a communication system that allows a Star Protection-equipped equipment and battery to share data in real-time while in use and monitor conditions to safeguard against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. The tool may also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries for added versatility, with the star logo on the battery denoting Star Protection inside.
