Last refreshed Aug 4, 2026 · Based on the Amazon listing and published specifications, not hands-on testing.
A practical add-on for an existing Makita 18V battery collection, but factor in the missing battery and charger before comparing price against bundled kits.

Overview
No battery or charger ships with the Makita XPH12Z, an 18-volt cordless drill rated to a 2000 RPM top speed. It's a bare-tool listing built around Makita's 18V LXT platform.
As with other Makita tools carrying the Z suffix, this listing covers the drill body only, so pricing against complete kits needs to account for a separate battery and charger purchase. The 2000 RPM top speed points to a general-purpose drill/driver rather than a low-speed torque specialist.
- 18-volt cordless drill
- Bare tool, battery not included
- 2000 RPM top speed
- Makita 18V LXT compatible
Who it's for
Works for buyers already holding Makita 18V LXT batteries who want to expand their tool lineup without paying for a duplicate battery and charger. Not the right pick for someone building a cordless setup from scratch.
Pros and cons
- Runs on the widely available Makita 18V LXT platform
- 2000 RPM top speed suits general drilling and driving
- Bare-tool pricing is lower than a full kit
- No battery or charger included
- Not suited to buyers without existing Makita batteries
Performance notes
At a listed top speed of 2000 RPM, this drill is geared for general drilling and driving rather than heavy-duty hammer work. Runtime and torque in practice depend on which 18V LXT battery pack is attached, since the tool ships without one.
