Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Right Angle Drill. It’s powered by two 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion batteries for maximum performance, and has an electronically-controlled BL Brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application. Makita 18-Volt X2 means freedom from the cord, and the XAD03 will take on the most demanding applications like drilling up to 6-1/4 in. holes with hole saws and 4-5/8 in. holes with self-feed bits. Best of all, users can remain in 1 battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18-Volt batteries with the XAD03 as they use across the expansive Makita 18-Volt LXT cordless system. The XAD03 has a long list of features for drilling with superior speed and efficiency. The Makita BL Brushless Motor combined with X2 LXT technology delivers no-load drilling speeds of 0 RPM to 350 RPM and 0 RPM to 1,400 RPM. Under load, the Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts drill speed and torque during drilling for optimum performance.

Use only once to drill hole in floor with hole saw. The tool is powerful and smooth. I’m very satisfied with the purchase.
