Makita XFD16ZMakita Cordless Drill XFD16Z 1/2 Inch 18V LXT Bare Tool (Brushless Motor 970 Inch Pounds Torque 1800 RPM 2 Speed Chuck Heavy Duty Fastening)

Makita XFD16Z 18V LXT Brushless 1/2-Inch Cordless Driver-Drill Bare Tool The Makita XFD16Z 18V LXT Brushless 1/2-Inch Cordless Driver-Drill Bare Tool is an industrial high-torque drilling motor engineered to sink large lag screws and bore deep holes across heavy timber, steel plates, and composites. Driven by an electronically controlled brushless motor outputting 970 in-lbs of maximum torque, a 2-speed transmission (0-550 and 0-1,800 RPM), and an all-metal 1/2-inch self-ratcheting chuck, this 6-7/8-inch ultra-compact tool provides a 2-inch wood hole saw drilling capacity and 1/2-inch steel capacity. Designed for commercial electricians, carpenters, and steel erectors, this 18V bare tool solves high-torque motor stalling, chuck slipping, and operator fatigue in tight joist bays and overhead structural framing installations. **Battery and charger sold separately. Best Used For: Heavy Structural Timber Fastening: Driving heavy-gauge structural lag screws and timber fasteners into dense pressure-treated wood framing without pre-drilling. High-Torque Hole Saw Boring: Drilling clean 2-inch utility conduit pass-through openings using hole saws or self-feed wood bits between standard wall studs. Structural Steel & Plate Drilling: Boring high-precision 1/2-inch holes through thick steel junction boxes, channel iron, and metal plates. Key Performance & Safety Features High-Output Brushless Motor: Electronically matches torque and RPM to application demands, delivering up to 50% longer run time per charge. 970 In-Lbs Maximum Torque: Industrial-grade power output provides extreme turning force for heavy-duty drilling and structural fastening tasks. All-Metal 1/2-Inch Self-Ratcheting Chuck: Heavy-duty keyless chuck maintains supreme bit gripping force to prevent slippage under severe loads. Extreme Protection Technology (XPT): Engineered internal seals channel dust and water away from core electronic components on harsh jobsites. Star Protection Computer Controls: Enables real-time data communication between tool and battery to prevent thermal overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. Ultra-Compact Ergonomic Profile: Measuring only 6-7/8 inches in overall length, it navigates confined framing bays easily while reducing user strain.
