  • Powerful and Reliable Drill for Heavy-Duty Work
Style: Bare Tool
The Makita XPH12Z 18V LXT Brushless Hammer Driver-Drill is a solid choice for anyone needing both power and versatility in a cordless tool. The brushless motor provides strong performance with longer run time, and the hammer function makes it effective for tougher jobs like drilling into masonry or concrete. Despite its power, the drill feels balanced in hand and is comfortable to use even during longer projects. The variable speed settings give good control, whether you’re driving screws, drilling wood, or tackling harder materials. Since it’s sold as tool-only, you’ll need a compatible Makita 18V LXT battery and charger, but for those already in the Makita system, this fits right in. The build quality feels tough and durable, making it a dependable tool for both professionals and DIY users. Pros: It delivers strong torque, the brushless motor improves efficiency and run time, and the hammer drill function adds versatility for harder tasks. Cons: Batteries and charger are not included, the tool has some weight during extended use, and the price is higher than basic drills. A powerful, well-built hammer driver-drill that handles demanding tasks with ease. For those already using Makita’s 18V system, it’s a worthwhile addition to any toolkit. ... show more

  • I love this hammer drill - fits perfectly into my LXT system - A must have
Style: Bare Tool
Having other Makita 18V LXT items, buying this bare tool was a no brainier for $75 bucks. This is not the most expensive Makita LXT hammer drill. It's upper mid range, but I bought it for a relatively compact size. My use will be limited handyman type stuff, so it will fit that purpose perfectly. Like my other 18V and 18Vx2 Makita cordless tools, they still amaze me with their power and battery life. If you still have the old NiCad power tools where you can only get replacement batteries from China which work maybe 75% of the time, you might want to upgrade. If you upgrade the Makita 18V LXT system is unbeatable in scope of tools and the quality. Yes - Makita is Japanese, and like US companies does manufacture some items in China., And yes, these are manufactured in China. I also have the cordless 7 1/2" circular saw and the chainsaw, both 2 battery 18v x2 = 36V tools. Both are absolute beasts and function so well I almost never use my corded tools anymore, even where I have electricity. The sander, jig saw and saber saw round out a nice set. Seriously, I have enough batteries that use them almost exclusively. ... show more

  • Great tool, great brand
Style: Bare Tool
My recommendation is to pick a brand and stick with it so all of your batteries are interchangeable. I like Makita brand and have several of their battery operated tools. They are reliable and last a long time (none of mine have ever broke down after years of use). Highly recommend Makita for anyone who wants quality tools that will last a lifetime. -A Handy Man ... show more

  • Bastante bueno

Bastante bueno pero a la hora de exigirle (taladrar un hoyo de 5 plug con broca de 5/8 en concreto) se ha calentado rapidísimo y no ha resuelto, tuve que buscar un taladro de cable.

  • Great product, terrible shipping
Style: Bare Tool
Let me start by saying I'm reviewing only the product (meaning this drill), with my rating. Makita seems to hold true to their history of quality with this drill. It is VERY compact, about an inch shorter than my XPH06. The shift between modes feels very solid and it is well balanced in the hand. The speed shift is a bit difficult to switch, but not terrible and the firm switch will prevent accidental actuation. The chuck is an upgrade over the previous model and the hammer function feels good. The slop that was an annoyance in the chuck on the XPH06 is gone, along with the hammer action when in drill mode. I have yet to really put it through its paces, but so far so good. My only gripe is with the seller. To save on shipping costs, the seller removed the drill from the box and drop shipped it via USPS in a bubble pack with no additional padding. Worst packing and shipping I've ever experienced with Amazon. It arrived with a piece of the drill case misaligned at the back of the battery receptor, as if it had been dropped. Not ideal and extraordinarily disappointing. Will not do business with the seller again if this is how they ship their products. ... show more

  • Be wary of “Like New”
Style: Bare Tool
Bought one from a third party that listed it to be practically new (with a good discount) but in reality I can see why someone returned it. It looked brand new BUT the chuck had wobble (tip of bit doesn’t stay centered). Unusable because your hole will always end up way bigger than the bit you used, especially when hammer drilling in concrete or masonry. Glad that I used it before the return period was over so that I could send it back. Returned it and got one straight from Amazon instead. The tool is great. Didn’t have any issues at all with the one sold by Amazon. ... show more
