The 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion 1/2 in. Hammer Driver-Drill (model XPH03Z, tool only) is a powerful tool that delivers a full 750 in. lbs. of Max Torque and 18% more speed. Despite its high performance, it is designed to be compact and lightweight compared to the previous model. Contractors will appreciate the torque and speed that this tool offers, as well as its increased resistance to water and dust. Makita has created a total solution for drilling and driving needs. Please note that the battery and charger are sold separately. This tool is part of Makita's expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, which is the world's largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. Makita's 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, allowing for more time spent working and less time waiting for the battery to charge. To enhance tool performance and extend battery life, Makita has incorporated star protection computer controls. This technology enables real-time data exchange between the tool and battery, monitoring conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. For added versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18-Volt LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside. The mechanical 2-speed transmission (0-400 and 0-2,000 RPM) covers a wide range of drilling, fastening, and hammer drilling applications. Its compact and ergonomic design, measuring only 8-7/8 inches long, ensures comfortable handling. With a weight of only 5.1 lbs. (battery not included), operator fatigue is reduced. The tool is equipped with extreme protection technology (XPT), which enhances its resistance to dust and water, making it suitable for operation in harsh job site conditions. Its all-metal gears and aluminum gear housing contribute to maximum durability. The Makita built 4-pole motor delivers 750 in. lbs. of max torque, which is 25% more than the previous model.
