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.
