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.

Bought the drill back in 2018. Today was the first time I used it pretty extensively for drilling holes into concrete blocks with the hammer mode. Tried to change it to off hammer mode and into drill mode and it won’t get away from hammer mode. It’s stuck.Contacted Makita to see what they can do. Home Depot sells this brand but also doesn’t repair it according to their repair tool page…

The relatively light weight makes it nice for use on ladders, and its price point takes some of the edge off when wet weather takes its toll.

While it sounds crazy to use the term “love” when talking about a drill, I absolutely love it. batteries are quick to charge & hold their charge.. the drill has great power for the residential DIY guy. Have been banging it around for a while now and it’s holding up great.. trigger controlled acceleration took a bit of getting used to, but now I wouldn’t change it one bit. Great product, highly recommend.

Small size and light weight for a hammer drill, enough power for any job.

This drill is a real upgrade, dependable. Heavier than It’s predecessor, but strong and reliable.
