Makita's 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 3-Speed Brushless Motor Impact Driver combines more torque and less weight with brushless motor efficiency and variable three-speed power. The result is a powerful and versatile cordless impact driver that not only runs longer, but offers precise fastening control for a wide range of tasks--from woodworking and carpentry to assembly work, HVAC, and more.
Versatile Design for a Range of Applications
Due to their versatility, impact drivers are gaining broader acceptance on jobsites for a wide range of driving and fastening tasks, and the BTD144 has the added flexibility of variable three-speed power selection. The BTD144 is engineered for fastening deck screws, TEK screws, tightening down lag bolts, and more. It is ideal for HVAC, electricians, plumbers, automotive mechanics, woodworkers, remodelers, and any pro contractor who requires a best-in-class engineered cordless impact driver. The BTD144 is just another example of Makita's commitment to innovative technology and best-in-class engineering.

Makita has long been an innovator when it comes to cordless impacts, so it comes as no surprise that they have added even more features to their new BTD144 18 volt impact, and at the same time were able to shorten the length by 1/4-inch from the previous BTD141.
Makita-Built Motor Engineered for Versatile Power
The BTD144 features a Makita-built high torque motor that delivers 1,420 in.lbs. of Max Torque. Makita's Brushless Motor Technology delivers increased motor efficiency to provide up to 20% longer battery life per charge than competitive 18V impact drivers. The variable three-speed power selection switch has soft, medium and hard settings that deliver 0-1,300/0-2,000/0-2,600 RPM and 0-1,300/0-2,800/0-3,400 IPM for a wide range of fastening tasks. Makita's proprietary hammer and anvil impact mechanism are manufactured using the best raw materials with the highest quality steel and unique heat hardening process for maximum fastening and driving power.
Ergonomic Design in a Compact Size
The BTD144 weighs just 3.3 pounds with a more compact design at 5-1/2 inches long and an ergonomic shape that fits like a glove for reduced operator fatigue. Additional features include an electric brake for increased efficiency, a phosphorescent bumper ring for quick location in dark spaces, a built-in L.E.D. light to illuminate the work surface for more efficient work, and a convenient "one-touch" chuck for simple bit insertion. In addition, the BTD144's battery warning light and built-in L.E.D. light both flash when it is time to recharge the battery.
