The 18-Volt LXT lithium-ion cordless 1/2 in. Hammer Driver-Drill breaks new ground with full 1,090 in. lbs. of torque for the most demanding drilling and driving applications in wood, masonry and metal. It features a Makita BL Brushless Motor for longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. The XPH07TB is positioned at the top of Makita's deep line-up of driver-drills, and is a workhorse tool engineered with durability features for operation in harsh job site conditions. The 18-Volt LXT 5.0Ah battery provides 65% more run time per charge than the 3.0Ah battery (BL1830), yet it charges in only 45 minutes the fastest charge-time in the category for less downtime and increased productivity. For added convenience, the battery features an integrated LED battery charge level indicator. It's part of Makita's expanding 18-Volt lithium-ion series, the world's largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18-Volt lithium-ion slide-style battery. 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.
