What's the difference between the LXPH03Z and the LXPH01Z? And also, is there a Makita sku labeling guide somewhere? Model #'s are super confusing.

Torque on the 3 rises to 750 from 400 on the 1. Also, the high drill speed on the 3 is 2,000 rpm, while 1,500 on the 1.

The 03 is the much higher torgue drill, ie. more power. It is indeed a far stronger drill. I replaced an older, lesser Makita drill that I "used up" shall we say with this drill. It's amazingly powerful. The hammer action works well in drilling concrete and masonry as well. Actually I have used the hammer feature to drill screws and bolts in wood and it helps there as well. Be careful though as in low gear with no clutch if it locks up it can hurt you. I've held a bit too long more than once and twisted my wrist.

Torque is higher on the 03z than the 01z ...03 has the highest rating at 750 in lbs and 2000 rpms (i think best in class) verse 1500 on the 01... Its a great drill!.. I'm not sure if a "guide" is available for comparison.

I agree with Jeffery. The Makita, being an oiled compressor is extremely quiet. One of the best I've ever been around. Excellent compressor. We just did a garage roof about 16 square. Two Bostich coil guns and never a hitch. Yes, the compressor ran a lot but it never failed and the pressure control was very good so that we didn't drive nails through the architectural grade asphalt shingles. My only complaint is I'm old and it's heavy and tough to carry.

1- your vendor listing should very clearly explain what the kit they're offering includes, ie: bare tool- battery type and quantity-charger-holster-etc. if that info is not readily available, shop another seller.2- li-on runs circles around any other technology currently offered.3- my personal preference is makita over dewalt. they pioneered this configuration of driver and have worked the kinks out that are still found in many of the others. this tool is so ergonomically well designed and intuitiveto operate it becomes second nature in a vey short time and is a true pleasure to use. 1- your vendor listing should very clearly explain what the kit they're offering includes, ie: bare tool- battery type and quantity-charger-holster-etc. if that info is not readily available, shop another seller.2- li-on runs circles around any other technology currently offered.3- my personal preference is makita over dewalt. they pioneered this configuration of driver and have worked the kinks out that are still found in many of the others. this tool is so ergonomically well designed and intuitiveto operate it becomes second nature in a vey short time and is... » Read More 1- your vendor listing should very clearly explain what the kit they're offering includes, ie: bare tool- battery type and quantity-charger-holster-etc. if that info is not readily available, shop another seller.2- li-on runs circles around any other technology currently offered.3- my personal preference is makita over dewalt. they pioneered this configuration of driver and have worked the kinks out that are still found in many of the others. this tool is so ergonomically well designed and intuitiveto operate it becomes second nature in a vey short time and is a true pleasure to use. « Show Less

This Bosch is good for smaller jobs, the Makita will be faster but may tired you out faster. Bigger is not always better - it depends. You may need both. LOL.

I contacted Prazi and they are very helpful with my Makita that is not listed. I needed a special bolt that they shipped to me next day.

Love the Makita line and performance, pure pussy. The parts were parts were manufactured in Japan and assembled in China. Its hard to beat the price/performance unless one is a USA all the way buyer and if that is the case, let me know who in the USA can produce quality products at these prices. If money was not an object and where is was produced, POTUS Reagan would still be running this country or a better "person". The USA sold its soul for cheap iPhones and raised a new class of economic prisoners, "elsewhere". Great product well made and well built, majority of my power tools are from Makita.

All three battery sizes work. I prefer the 4.5 amp that I found on amazon not a makita brand but so far it is working great. The 4.5 lasts an hour longer then the 3.0. The combination is a job site must!

Hello, I've got a Makita # MAC5200. This is what I use and it works fine. Just lubricate it after use and keep the feed magazine clean.

Reviews say that the 3 blade is better, which is why I ordered it. Amz says they will replace the 2 blade they sent me & swap it out w/the 3 blade. I don't know much else, I suspect the more expensive 3 blade will be more powerful, I should know more soon.

it means go to Makitausa.com and ask them, if you notice this review was for the MAKDC1804

Yes, it is the same drill but the LXPH03Z is sold as a bare tool unlike the LXPH03 which comes as a complete set with 2 batteries, a charger and a carrying case.

I would check with Makita but I'm sure it is the same. This charger is amazing; fastest one I've had in the 20 some years of cordless everything. Full charge in 15 minutes!

Because Makita wants you to purchase their more expensive batteries. I purchased the double pack, use these batteries and my tools on many different projects and am very satisfied with them.

Researching that idea it appears there is a 220 saw made by Makita, the 'Maktec by Makita MT580'. It doesn't show up on Amazon, so where you buy it is beyond me.

I really don't know. My kit didn't include the advertised drills: the 18V LXT 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill (BHP454) is actually an LXPH03, and the 18V LXT Impact Driver (BTD141) is in fact an LXDT04.But, I'm more than happy with what I received, by the way.Another user said that the advertised combination was being phased out, and that Amazon held stocks of both the old and the new combination.Sorry I can't help more.jjj

I don't know the answer, I ordered a DC330B XRP 18 Volt regular Jig Saw for $105.00. The box said DC330B XRP, exactly what I ordered. When I opened the box and inspected the Bare Tool, I noticed that it was all scuffed up, and not even the right tool, it said it was a DC330. It looks like someone swapped the tool. I called Amazon to complain about the error and they sent me a paid postage through my email address....I haven't heard anything since. my email address is dwightbyron@hotmail.com
