Makita XFD12R Cordless Drill 18V 1/2 Inch Brushless Lxt

Product Description

The MAKITA XFD12R is an 18-volt cordless drill/driver built around a brushless motor and a 1/2-inch chuck. The brushless motor delivers up to 60 Newton-meters of torque while drawing less energy than a brushed alternative, extending runtime per charge. Two speed ranges span 0 to 2,000 RPM, giving the operator control for both drilling and driving applications. The drill ships with two BL1820B 18-volt LXT Lithium-ion batteries, a DC18RC rapid charger, and a tool case. Licensed trades and experienced DIYers working on residential and light commercial projects will find this a capable primary or backup drill.

This drill is suited to residential new construction, remodel work, and mechanical rough-in tasks where a compact, cordless platform is preferred. The LXT battery system is a platform-compatible solution, making it a practical addition for any crew already running MAKITA 18-volt LXT tools. The pistol-grip handle, reversible chuck, and two-speed gearbox support both standard drilling and fastener-driving tasks across wood, light metal, and composite substrates.
