Portable Electric Tools: Makita LXPH03 18V LXT 1/2 Inch Hammer Driver-Drill
Makita's new LXPH03 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-inch Hammer Driver-Drill delivers 750 inch-pounds of Max Torque and 18% more speed, yet it is more compact and weighs less than the previous model. The new LXPH03 is part of Makita’s 18V cordless series, with 50+ cordless tools powered by one fast-charging 18V Lithium-Ion battery.
The new LXPH03 is faster than the previous model with up to 30,000 BPM and 2,000 RPM. The new all-metal planetary gear system is more efficient so the LXPH03 is also more compact at only 8-7/8 inches long and 5.1 pounds with battery.
The LXPH03 features Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT). XPT is a protective seal inside the tool engineered for improved water resistance by channelling water and dust away from the tool’s key internal components. The XPT-equipped LXPH03 (as well as the earlier-released LXDT04 18V Impact Driver, (which is also equipped with XPT) is engineered for improved operation in harsh jobsite conditions.
Additional features include:
- 21 clutch settings for optimal fastening torque control
- All-metal 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck for improved bit retention
- Dual L.E.D. lights help illuminate the work surface
- Tool belt clip that can attach to either side of the tool
