It's powered by two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries for maximum performance, and has an electronically-controlled BL Brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application. Makita 18V X2 means freedom from the cord, and the Xad03 will take on the most demanding applications like drilling up to 6-1/4” holes with hole saws and 4-5/8” holes with self-feed bits. Best of all, users can remain in one battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18V batteries with the Xad03 as they use across the expansive Makita 18V LXT cordless system. The Xad03 has a long list of features for drilling with superior speed and efficiency. The Makita BL Brushless motor combined with X2 LXT technology delivers no-load drilling speeds of 0-350 RPM and 0-1, 400 RPM. Under load, the automatic speed Change technology adjusts drill speed and torque during drilling for optimum performance. Added features include an Electric brake for maximum productivity, and a built-in clutch that reduces gear damage by disengaging gears if the bit binds (low speed only). it’s powered by two 18V LXT batteries for maximum power, speed and run time without the hassles of a cord. When using two 18V 5.0Ah batteries and a self-feed bit (bit sold separately), the Xad03 will deliver up to 160 2-9/16" holes per charge in 2x SPF. It’S part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V 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. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the Star symbol on the battery indicating Star protection inside.

Im a electrician and use this to drill holes 2x4 2x6 walls plates ect. The unit is a breeze to use and have not met a situation that it can't handle. It's easier than a hole hog and and it doesn't perk you around nearly.as much!
Broke within one week, do not buy

This thing has more power than any other, I used to have the Milwaukee hole hawg and even with the biggest batteries available, it was not this good. A bit heavy but worth it. With the right bit on it, you could probably drill a hole through a car. I spent a day last week using it to mix concrete and it still wasn’t pushed to its limit. Highly recommend

Very pleased with drill but missing a chuck key that is used to tighten the bits. This has always been included with any other similar product. I have reached out to company but have not received any type of response. Otherwise would be 5 star.

Used this with a 6" earth auger bit to dig fence post holes and it was able to dig through clay, rocks, and roots without issue. I also used it to mix several bags of Quickrete and it did so without any issue. It is a big drill. The side handle give you plenty of leverage to help keep control when under heavy load, and the e-clutch ensures you won't get hurt too bad if you run into something that it can not power through.

I haven't used this long enough to attest to it's durability although I have used Makita brushless LIthium Ion 18 volt tools for over 20 years and am convinced they are the best available. I bought this beast because I keep burning up my regular 1/2" drills, running hole saws through aluminum masts and drilling 5/8" holes in stainless steel. The power this gives is tremendous but more importantly it's smooth and controllable. The right angle body provides ample leverage to control the tool when a 3/4" bit gets stuck in steel. Very pleased with this so far.

It has plenty of power. I love the high speed for quickly chewing through studs. Well designed and balanced. Awesome to not have a cord to navigate around walls and whatever debris/tools are scattered across the floor. Had a corded milwaukee right angle drill that was 7 amp but it was slow. Weight between the two is about the same. The Makita has a lower profile on the chuck head so it can slip into tighter spaces. I do a lot of electrical work and this made drilling the 100's of holes I had to a breeze. Battery life with 2 5ah batteries is great. It is a big investment, but if you have to drill more than a few holes you won't regret it.

I own an old Milwaukee Hole Hawg, 1675-6...While both the hole hawg and the Makita will bind, the Makita quickly reduces power and sometimes the manual clutch kicks in so the binding is smoother and much more tolerable...The hole hawg just quickly snaps when it binds causing a much more severe reaction...Since I'm getting older, holding on to the hole hawg has become increasingly difficult...So obviously the Makita has become my favorite...I haven't tried the Milwaukee cordless hole hawgs since I was already committed to the Makita system owning $500 worth of their batteries...I also like the extra length of the Makita as it offers more leverage for drilling and countering binds...So far the extra length hasn't hindered a single job, even though I'm sure there are some out there..While at my age I've been striving for lighter tools, but in this case the weight of the Makita also aids in controlling this beast, as it has tons of power...So the extra weight and length of the Makita are positives in my book for this type of tool...Looking at the schematics I also like the triple spur gear inside a carrier gear setup of the Makita as this generates more torque than the standard single gear to gear of the Milwaukee...Plus the Makita utilizes two sets of these triple gears for additional torque which means less strain on the motor...I also noticed this battery version Makita is rated for a 2" ship auger, while the Makita DA4031 120v 10A model is only rated for 1 1/2" ship auger...I know the 120v version is a beast as well, but it doesn't have the power demand system of the 36V DC version which makes all drilling and even binding more smooth as the power fluctuates to meet demand...Just an awesome feature for those of us who may not be as strong as we used to be...Maybe someday I'll try them or there will be a video comparison online...And the Makita is Assembled in the USA, which is preferable to being Made in China...Overall I believe the Makita is a true winner for the full time tradesman or the weekend DIY'er...
