The Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless 3/8” Crown Stapler (model XTS01) is a true utility stapler engineered for a range of trades. The XTS01 is compact and powerful, and can drive a wide range of 3/8” crown staple lengths flush into hardwoods like oak, maple, cherry, and more. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. 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. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside. Versatile and Easy to Use The XTS01 will drive 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”, 9/16”, 5/8”, 3/4”, and 7/8” length staples (3/8” crown); and will also utilize Arrow® T50 type staples for maximum versatility. The easy-to-use depth control setting can be adjusted with a single knob. The rugged machined aluminum magazine ensures smooth loading and feeding of staples, with a convenient window on the magazine that shows the number of remaining staples. Ergonomic Design in a Compact Size The spring-loaded driving mechanism allows for a more compact tool with less weight: it weighs only 5.3 lbs. at just 9-7/8” in length. The ergonomic shape fits like a glove with even pressure and easy control, and the soft grip handle provides increased comfort on the job. Versatile Design for a Range of Applications The XTS01 is engineered for a range of stapling tasks including drywall, roofing, furniture, upholstery, and utility installation.
