Guides
Learn before you choose
Source-backed guides to battery systems, exact model differences, chargers, kit contents, and compatibility boundaries.
Bare tool vs kit: verify model numbers and included components
Decode tool-only and kit listings without assuming suffixes, batteries, chargers, quantities, or package contents.
Makita DC18RC vs DC18RD: single-port or dual-port charger
Compare the Rapid Optimum DC18RC and simultaneous dual-port DC18RD, including official charge times and what the second bay changes.
Makita 18V LXT compatibility: Star Protection and yellow-receiver marks
Use Makita's documented Star Symbol and yellow battery-receiver indicators to check modern BL18xxB battery fit without relying on color alone.
Impact-wrench specifications and model variants explained
Read drive size, fastening and removal torque, modes, battery conditions, and bare-tool or kit suffixes without treating unlike claims as equal.
Cordless-tool battery voltage vs amp-hours: what each number means
Separate battery-system voltage from capacity, compare labels correctly, and avoid turning amp-hour ratios into unsupported runtime promises.
