18V LXT Lithium-Ion 2-Speed Brushless Cordless 1/2" Driver-Drill Tool Only

The 18V LXT brushless 1/2" driver-drill (XFD14Z, tool only) is an ideal premium drilling and driving solution. The XFD14Z delivers 1,250 in-lb of Max Torque. It has a 2-speed transmission (0-550 and 0-2,100 RPM) for a wide range of drilling and fastening applications. The all-metal 1/2" self-ratcheting chuck provides improved bit gripping strength and durability. It weighs 5.7 lb with battery yet is more compact than previous models.

It′s part of expanding 18V LXT System, the world′s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. 18V LXT 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, 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 18V LXT lithium-ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

Tool users who unplug the cord with Makita 18V LXT experience new levels of convenience, efficiency and productivity. Makita created the 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tool category in 2005, and today it is the world′s largest 18V cordless tool line-up. Makita′s leading technology gives tool users unmatched performance and breadth of line, with innovation in motor and battery technology that is obliterating industry standards - and leaving old thinking behind. With high amp-hour batteries, efficient brushed and brushless motors, and 36V (18V X2) LXT technology, Makita 18V LXT tools not only meet corded demands, they can exceed the performance of corded, all while remaining in a single cordless platform powered by the industry′s fastest-charging 18V lithium-ion batteries.
