The Makita XPH12Z is a compact 18V brushless hammer driver-drill sold as a bare tool, so you use batteries from Makita's LXT line. It gives you two speeds, three modes (drill, drive, hammer) and 21 torque settings, plus dual LEDs with Afterglow and a keyless chuck. At about 4.2 lb it sits in the same compact class as other 18V brushless hammer drills, but it stands out for its short body and balance in tight spots. Owners like the smooth trigger and light weight; the main complaints are the bare-tool packaging and the modest hammer action for heavy masonry.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 16 ratings, owners praise the light weight, balance and smooth power delivery. Complaints center on the bare-tool setup and the hammer function being best for light masonry only.
The Makita XPH12Z is a compact 18V brushless hammer driver-drill with a 1/2" keyless chuck. It is sold as a tool only, and it runs on Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries. The handle is comfortable, and the weight is well distributed for longer jobs.
It has 2 speeds and 3 action modes: drilling, driving and hammering. A 21-position torque setting lets the user adjust for the task. The keyless chuck makes bit changes quick.
A dual LED light with Afterglow improves visibility in dim work areas. A belt clip keeps the tool within reach.
