Makita is the innovation leader in Brushless Motor technology and the 18-Volt LXT Brushless Hammer Driver-Drill (XPH12Z, tool only) combines power and run-time for more drilling, driving and fastening tasks in wood, metal and masonry. The efficient Makita BL Brushless Motor is electronically controlled and engineered for longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. The variable 2-speed Brushless Motor delivers up to 2,000 RPM and 530 in. lbs. of MAX torque for efficient fastening. It weighs only 4.2 lbs. (with battery) with an LED light that illuminates the job area for applications in dark spaces. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased 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.

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!

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

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.

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