Description

The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless cordless ½” driver-drill kit (XFD12T) is an ideal drilling and driving solution for the user who wants a drill with superior power-to-weight ratio. The XFD12T 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. For the Pro user this means more drilling and driving power, greater productivity, and fewer trips up and down the Scaffolding or ladder to get to the battery charger. In driver mode, the adjustable torque settings provide more control for a full range of applications, from large fasteners to smaller, delicate screws. It weighs only 3.9 lbs. (With 5.0Ah battery) for increased comfort and superior power-to- weight ratio. The XFD12T is compatible with Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries, from the fast-charging 18V LXT compact 2.0Ah battery to full-size 18V LXT batteries for longer run time. It’S part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. 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 18V LXT and compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the Star symbol on the battery indicating Star protection inside.

  • Excellent tool
Style: Kit w/ 5.0Ah Batteries
I replaced my old Makita with this one after the drive shaft failed (after ~10 years). This one is slightly lighter and yet more powerful. The balance is good, although it's slightly heavy feeling with the 5amp batteries. Ergonomics are good, and I particularly like the shorter head--it allows the drill to fit into tighter places than my old drill. Overall an excellent replacement for my older Makita. ... show more

  • Super Father's Day Present!
Style: Kit w/ 5.0Ah Batteries
I bought this Drill Kit for my husband as a father's day present, and he is "HAPPY!" :o) It is solidly built, easy to handle. This is a quality product he told me. :). Thank you, Makita! You have made HIS day!

  • Buen taladro, accesorios mejorables.
Style: Kit w/ 5.0Ah Batteries
El taladro excelente, las baterias parcen tener muy busna capacidad. Lamentablemente el cargador no es para voltaje universal 120/240V sino solo para 110V. No tendrían que venderlo a otros paises. En la foto sale un maletin rígido que no es el que entregan con la unidad, sino un bolso de lona.

  • Great tool for driving lots of screws with control
Style: Kit w/ 5.0Ah Batteries
This unit replaced an older Makita Ni-Cad similar unit from the mid-1980s. Yes, long overdue for an upgrade. Very impressed with the torque and ergonomics of the unit. Needing a clutch vs. impact driver to drive over 1,000 hidden fastener screws while rebuilding my deck, this unit was perfect for the job. In “drill” mode on low speed it had plenty of torque, and control, to drive an additional 500 recessed composite deck screws. Long battery life (5.0 Ah). ... show more

This mikita driver in my opinion is exactly what i needed. My old makita lasted prob 15 yrs. Built a lake house and my renovation updates around my house. Fences, barn etc. I find this new updated mikita to fill all my needs and more. Nothing like a mikita!

  • Oh. BABY! Now that's a drill
Style: Kit w/ 5.0Ah Batteries
This is a great drill! Get the 5.0 Amp hour batteries. Expect to.also purchase a good set of Makita torque rated bits. The torgue on this driver will shear a standard bit right off.
