The Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless 3/8” Angle Drill (model XAD02) delivers cordless drilling power into tough-to-reach spaces. The versatile XAD02 packs plenty of torque for a wide range of drilling and driving tasks, yet it weighs only 4.0 lbs. with a slim design and over one foot of tool extension. The 3/8" keyless chuck provides fast and easy bit removal. It’s ideal for assembly, garage door installation, steel framing, woodworking, electrical, and any other job that requires a more compact drilling solution in close-quarters applications. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. 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.
