MAKITA RELEASES NEW AUTOFEED SCREWDRIVER FOR THE LXT® PLATFORM

New Autofeed Screwdriver is an ideal solution for drywall, decking, and framing applications

January 6, 2025, La Mirada, CA – Makita U.S.A., Inc., manufacturer of high-quality professional tools, power equipment, and accessories, has released the new 18V LXT® Autofeed Screwdriver (XRF04), delivering superior fastening speed (0-4,500 RPM) to handle a variety of drywall, decking and framing applications.

“The new LXT® Screwdriver delivers superior fastening speed, with the convenience of Push Drive Technology,” said Wayne Hart, sr. communications manager, Makita U.S.A., Inc. “Users get speed, power and convenience for drywall, decking, framing and more.”

Performance on the Job Site

The Autofeed Screwdriver delivers performance on the job site and can drive up to 2,670 screws using a fully charged 18V LXT® 5.0Ah Battery (battery sold separately). The XRF04 features Push Drive™ Technology, which allows the user to stay in lock-on mode for greater efficiency. In lock-on mode the motor starts only when the fastener engages for longer run time and reduced motor noise. The Autofeed housing is engineered with a screwless one-touch hook for effortless attachment and removal.

Superior Fastening Speeds

The XRF04 features a brushless motor that delivers superior fastening speed (0-4,500 RPM) to handle a variety of drywall, decking and framing applications. The electronically-controlled brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application. The brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life.

Light in Weight and Ergonomic

The Autofeed Screwdriver has a compact and ergonomic design that measures only 15-5/8” long and only weighs 4.9 lbs. with a battery (battery sold separately) for less user fatigue. It also features an integrated autofeed design makes the tool lighter and more compact.
