Power Drills – Makita 18-Volt 4.0Ah LXT Lithium-Ion 1/2 in.

The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2 in. Driver-Drill (model XFD03M) delivers high torque, power, performance and improved ergonomics in a compact size. The XFD03M weighs only 5 lbs. with a superior power-to-weight ratio for a full range of drilling and driving applications. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt lithium-ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18-Volt lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18-Volt 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 18-Volt LXT and compact lithium-ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating star protection inside. The XFD03M is powered by a Makita-built 4-pole motor with bigger front end ball bearings and delivers a full 750 in./lbs. of Max Torque. The new planetary gear system and transmission has been redesigned for increased durability in a more compact size, so the XFD03M is 8-7/8 in. long and weighs only 5 lbs. for superior power to weight ratio.
