Makita XFD03Z 18V LXT 1/2 Inch Cordless Driver Drill Bare Tool

The Makita XFD03Z 18V LXT 1/2-Inch Driver-Drill operates as a cordless rotary drilling and fastening power tool engineered to bore holes through wood framing, drill structural steel, and drive large threaded fasteners. Powered by a 4-pole motor paired with a 2-speed mechanical transmission delivering 0–400 and 0–2,000 RPM, this 8-7/8-inch long tool generates up to 750 in-lbs of maximum torque. Featuring an all-metal 1/2-inch keyless ratcheting chuck, aluminum gear housing, 21-position clutch, dual LED work lights, and Star Protection Computer Controls, this 5-pound pistol-grip driver-drill executes high-demand construction, electrical rough-in, and metal fabrication tasks. **Battery and charger sold separately.

Best Used For:

  • Wood Framing & Joist Boring: Drilling 3-inch clearance holes through dimensional lumber and floor joists using hole saws or spade bits.
  • Metal Fabrication & Hole Punching: Boring 1/2-inch diameter holes through structural steel plates, iron box channels, and sheet metal.
  • Electrical Conduit & Box Fastening: Driving self-tapping screws and mounting junction boxes in overhead steel stud framing.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Mechanical 2-Speed Transmission: Dual speed settings (0–400 RPM for high torque / 0–2,000 RPM for high speed) provide versatile drilling control.
  • All-Metal Gearbox & Housing: Aluminum gear housing and planetary metal gear assembly ensure maximum power transfer and jobsite durability.
  • Star Protection Computer Controls: Monitors thermal status, current draw, and voltage in real time to guard against motor overload and overheating.
  • Shift-Lock Drive Mechanism: Smart mode-switching mechanism permits quick transitions between drilling and torque-controlled driving settings.
