The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Hammer Driver-Drill (XPH12R) is an ideal drilling and driving solution for the user who wants more features. The XPH12R combines 530 in. lbs. of Max Torque with an efficient brushless motor that delivers up 50% more work per charge, increased power and speed and longer tool life. In driver mode, the adjustable torque settings provide more control for a full range of applications, from large fasteners to smaller, delicate screws. For drilling into masonry, simply switch to the percussive hammer driver-drill setting. It weighs only 3.6 lbs. (with 18-Volt 2.0Ah battery) for increased comfort and superior power-to-weight ratio. The kit includes 2 efficient 18-Volt LXT Compact 2.0Ah batteries and each reach a full charge in only 25 minutes the fastest charge-time in the category for less downtime and increased productivity. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating.

This product was purchased and found to be defective. The drill got stuck in Hammer Mode. Makita support contacted me, and shipped me a brand new unit within a couple days. The hammer mode issue has already been resolved in production and my new unit is trouble free. Excellent customer service and support, and Makita products are highly recommended!

I have dewalt brushless, Milwaukee brushless, and this drill. This is my new favorite drill. I packed the other 2 away.

Just what I needed.

I’ve used this drill to drill out multiple holes in a hard wood floor. The drill feels durable and held up great compared to other cheaper drills I’ve owed. Im happy with this purchase so far

I own several Makita battery powered tools. I used the last drill so much, I wore it out!!!! I’m sure this one will last equally long!!

I am an electrical contractor an use this drill almost every day. Its perfect for drilling in screws and threw studs. The hammer drill clutch is great for putting in tapcons or any other small to medium anchors but if your doing concrete work all day, I would go with one a little more powerful. I highly recommend this drill because of its light weight, compact size, and power behind it!

Its a good drill for making holes.

Bought this in a combo kit with a brushless impact driver and brushless 6 1/2″ circular saw. This drill is the best I’ve owned. Coming from a Ryobi basic drill and Ryobi brushless hammer drill. It is A LOT lighter and smaller than both Ryobi’s (apples to apples both Makita and Ryobi with 4ah batteries). Also the driver feature on the Makita is a lot more true in each setting vs the Ryobi. Like past reviewers said it gets stuck in other settings NOT THE CASE! Makita must have addressed the issue because I have yet to experience this and tried all settings.

It was an early Christmas gift, and he loves it!
Cameron Klocko (verified owner) –
The drill met all expectations – – having two spare batteries from a recent purchase of a Makita 36 volt circular saw sealed the deal. Charge life through heavy drilling and screwing is excellent, and the hammer feature is a great bonus.
