The most recent Makita cordless screw gun is the 18V LXT XRF03. If you’ve been using Makita’s cordless models for a while, you’ll notice the model number is very similar to the XSF03. However, this one replaces the XRF01 and it’s a long-awaited brushless update. One of the big differences between this model and other Makita screw guns is that the magazine is integral to the tool’s operation rather than being an optional separate attachment. Precision: Collated screw guns ensure that screws are driven accurately and at the right depth, minimizing errors and rework. Take the XSF04, swap out the nose for a wider one designed for a 5/16-inch nut setter, add more torque, and you get the Makita XSF05. It still has a 1/4-inch hex connection, so you can also use other bits. However, Makita’s add-on magazine is not designed for use with this model. Other than a slight drop in weight, everything else is the same as the XSF04. Specifications

It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. Rapid Optimum Charger communicates with the battery's built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature (battery and charger sold separately)Push Drive™ Technology delivers increased efficiency, longer run time and lower noise for drywall fastening . With Push Drive™ the motor starts only when the fastener is engaged with the work piece, so battery power is used more efficiently for significantly longer run time. Contractors benefit from less downtime charging batteries, and from a quieter work environment since the motor runs only during fastening. Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating

Efficient brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge Rapid Optimum Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster, more efficient charging (battery and charger sold separately)Physically, the design is very similar, but there are several significant differences. One is a different collated screw guide that boasts cleaner feeding. The newer model cranks up to 6000 RPM, a gain of 2000 RPM over the ’01 model. It’s more compact by nearly 2 1/2 inches and it drops 0.3 pounds.

The tool’s auto-feed magazine features a simple one-touch hook connection, making it easy to access the bit when it’s time for a change. The thumb wheel depth adjustment system is more or less the same. Additional Highlights Corded Collated Screw Guns: Deliver constant power for heavy-duty tasks, ideal for professional contractors.

Included accessories

Total Tools offers a comprehensive selection of collated screw guns, each catering to specific needs and applications: Its 1 –2 3/16-inch screw length range shifts down somewhat from the ’01’s 1 3/4 –2 15/16-inch range. Where they primarily differ is in speed. The FS2200 tops out at 2500 RPM, the FS4200 hits 4000 RPM, and the FS6200 reaches all the way to 6000 RPM. Additional Highlights
