XPH12Z 18V LXT Brushless Hammer Driver-Drill (Tool Only)
Last verified by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team
Why we picked it
Brushless motor extends runtime and motor life
The Makita XPH12Z is a bare-tool hammer driver-drill built around an efficient brushless motor that runs cooler, lasts longer, and squeezes up to 50 percent more runtime from every charge. It delivers 530 inch-pounds of torque across a variable two-speed range, handling drilling, driving, and masonry without strain. At just 7-1/8 inches long and 4.2 pounds with a battery, it is compact enough for tight work yet rugged enough to earn a permanent spot in a pro kit. The proven LXT platform keeps it serviceable for years, making it a sensible buy-it-for-life cordless drill.
