- Does the GPH03Z come with a battery and charger?
- No. It is a bare tool, so you need XGT 40V Max batteries and a charger separately. If you already own XGT tools, you can share those batteries.
- Can it drill into concrete?
- It has a hammer mode for light masonry such as brick and block. For repeated drilling into cured concrete, a dedicated rotary hammer is the better tool.
- Is it compatible with Makita 18V LXT batteries?
- No. It runs only on 40V Max XGT batteries, which have a different slide mount. The 18V LXT packs will not fit.
- How does it compare with an 18V hammer drill?
- It is larger and heavier but delivers more torque and longer runtime under load. Choose it if you are on the XGT platform or do heavy drilling; choose 18V for lighter, more compact work.
- What chuck does it have?
- It uses a metal keyless chuck that takes standard round and hex shank bits. Owners report good bit grip with little slippage.
- What is in the box?
- The drill itself, a side handle and a depth gauge, with no battery, charger or case. Check the listing for any extras a seller bundles.
- Where is the Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless Hammer Drill Driver GPH03Z cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $259.00, as of our latest check.
