18V LXT Brushless Drywall Sander Kit (XLS01TX1) delivers increased efficiency and mobility for drywall finishers. The compact and lightweight design makes the XLS01 easier to use for extended periods of time.
The XLS01 delivers up to 35 minutes of run time on a single charge of an 18V 5.0Ah battery. Users can match the speed to the application with a variable speed control dial (1,000 - 1,800 RPM), and Constant Speed Control automatically provides additional power to the motor to maintain speed under load for consistent performance.
The large highly flexible head is engineered for efficiency with increased maneuverability across various wall orientations. The Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life. The adjustable extension pipe collapses for sanding in confined spaces, such as closets, and extends up to 16-1/2" to reach high walls and ceilings. The dust brush is removable for seamless flush-to-corner edge sanding.
For improved efficiency, it's equipped with Auto-Start Wireless System technology (AWS). AWS utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless communication between the tool and dust extractor (sold separately). When the trigger of the AWS-equipped XLS01 is engaged, the AWS-equipped dust extractor powers up. When the trigger is released, the dust extractor powers down. AWS is intelligent communication that eliminates cords and excessive noise since the dust extractor runs only when the tool is running.
It's part of expanding 18V LXT system, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion batteries. 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, Created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is a 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 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
the takes another step toward a truly cordless job site with Auto-Start Wireless System. AWS uses Bluetooth technology for wireless power-on and power-off communication between the equipped tool and dust extractor. AWS is intelligent communication that eliminates cords and excessive noise since the dust extractor runs only when trigger-activated by an AWS tool. When the trigger is released, the dust extractor powers-down. The AWS dust extractor (XCV08Z) is powered by two 18V LXT batteries for maximum performance, and users benefit with an expanding AWS system that includes cordless tools for concrete, metal and woodworking.
Tool users who unplug the cord with 18V LXT experience new levels of convenience, efficiency and productivity. Created the 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tool category in 2005, and today it is the world's largest 18V cordless tool line-up. leading technology gives tool users unmatched performance and breadth of line, with innovation in motor and battery technology that is obliterating industry standards - and leaving old thinking behind. With high amp-hour batteries, efficient brushed and brushless motors, and 36V (18V X2) LXT technology, 18V LXT tools not only meet corded demands, they can exceed the performance of corded, all while remaining in a single cordless platform powered by the industry's fastest-charging 18V lithium-ion batteries.
Cordless tools are engineered for industrial applications, and for added protection during the most demanding jobs created STAR Protection Computer Controls. STAR is communications technology that monitors conditions during use, allowing the tool and battery to exchange data to protect against overloading, overdischarging and overheating. If STAR detects conditions that threaten to overload, overdischarge or overheat the tool or battery, the tool will automatically stop. At that time the user can either restart the tool, change or charge the battery, and put the tool back to work. When you slide a 18V LXT battery with the STAR symbol onto a tool that has either the STAR symbol or a yellow terminal, you are benefitting from STAR Protection Computer Controls.
When the job takes your tool into harsh conditions, Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) provides added protection. XPT is a series of integrated seals engineered to channel away dust and water for increased durability. Wherever the job takes you, tools equipped with XPT are engineered for increased durability and longer tool life.
