The 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 1/2″ Hammer Driver-Drill (model XPH03M) delivers a full 750 in.lbs. of Max Torque, with more work and less down time for increased efficiency and productivity. It’s powered by the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 4.0 Ah battery, which reaches a full charge in only 40 minutes and delivers 35% more run time than the BL1830 battery. The XPH03 has the torque, speed and run time that contractors demand, with Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) engineered inside the tool for increased resistance to water and dust for improved operation in harsh jobsite conditions. For drilling and driving, Makita has delivered a total solution. 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. The 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah battery BL1840B, features an integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator (for MB kits).
