18V LXT Lithium-Ion Compact Brushless Cordless 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill Kit

18V LXT Brushless 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill Kit, 5.0Ah (XPH16T) features a Makita-built brushless motor that delivers 970 in.lbs. of Max Torque for up to 70% more power than the previous model* for the most demanding drilling and driving applications.

It′s powered by a brushless motor for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. It features a variable 2-speed design (0-550 and 0-1,800 RPM) (0-8,250 and 0-27,000 BPM) that covers a wide range of drilling, driving and hammer applications. It also features a 1/2" all-metal gear housing for increased job site durability.

Convenience features include a compact and ergonomic design at only 6-7/8" long, dual L.E.D. lights, and a rubberized soft grip for increased comfort. It weighs only 4.9 lbs. with a 5.0Ah battery for reduced operator fatigue.

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.

When the job takes your tool into harsh conditions, Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) provides added protection. XPT is a series of integrated seals engineered to channel away dust and water for increased durability. Wherever the job takes you, tools equipped with XPT are engineered for increased durability and longer tool life.
