Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT Brushless Cordless 7/16in Hex Right Angle Drill (Bare Tool)

Professional Performance in Compact Spaces

The Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT Right Angle Drill is designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional tradespeople. By utilizing two 18V LXT batteries, this tool provides the high-torque output required for large-diameter drilling without the tether of a power cord.

Expert Usage and Maintenance Tips

• Thermal Management: To prevent overheating during heavy-duty tasks, such as drilling large holes in dense materials, we recommend using a pulse-drilling technique. Allow the tool to cool down periodically to extend the lifespan of the brushless motor.
• Battery Optimization: For maximum efficiency, ensure both 18V batteries are charged to the same capacity before use. Using mismatched batteries can trigger the Star Protection Computer Controls, which protects the tool from overload and discharge.
• Operational Safety: Given the high torque output, always utilize the side handle to maintain control and prevent fatigue. The ergonomic design is optimized for balance; however, we recommend frequent posture adjustments during extended overhead work to minimize strain.
• Component Care: While the standard chuck is designed for general use, heavy-duty users may opt for an aftermarket all-metal chuck if working with high-friction materials to ensure bit stability.
