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.

Definitely gets the job done.

better than my last one with brushes, more positive torque, a true touch above. A bit worried about the complaints about it getting stuck in hammer drill mode but kind of assume it has been fixed by now and there is a warranty.

Ordered this drill as Christmas gift to my son since this is the one he chose after reviewing a number of other brands. Also based on the fact I have owned and used Makita tools for years.

Not too bad was kind of expensive and came with no battery

Love this drill. Have used hard for about 8 years so suppose it does not owe me any more. Gears finally stripped while driving deck screws. Fan for life.

Up graded from old 1500 rpm makita drills. Swear this drill saves 25 to 30 seconds per hole. Very comfortable and fast

It seems than some other brands. It has a powerful torque that is quite sufficient for any home improvement project. The chuck does not wiggle. The hammer drill mode is handy for use on concrete or brickI used it recently in the hammer drill mode and it went through concrete like through butter

I am an electrician with 40 yrs experience, ten years ago, after disappointing experiences with other brand’s batteries and after testing the Makita cordless line we switched over completely and are completely confident that we made the right choice. We have five of the xph12s in use along with many others, we have had zero problems with them. All of them are late 2017 or early 2018 models and face heavy daily use in hammer and regular drill modes.

very handy tool
Ariane Feeney (verified owner) –
Bought this because I needed a drill for light concrete drilling. The drill does the job. My exepreice is that I haven’t noticed any of the issues early reviewers reported. This is after multiple days of drilling using the both hammer mode and regular mode. It’s a handsome tool that feels integrated and sturdy. It inspires confidence during use. It will drain a 2.0 ah battery fast. Trigger take up is top sensitive. Droll gets on power too fast.

Excellent!Small, lightweight and powerful. Those are the features I was looking for. And I am impressed yet again by a great Makita product.Used it for a couple weeks now. So far it has performed flawlessly. Well designed. This is just one of many makita products I have that use the same battery. Highly recommend!
