Links to Buy (Affiliate Links): GPH03 is not yet available at all retailers. Look for Youtube Shopping links for specific links to that drill. GPH01 Bare Tool: https://amzn.to/4at9Sgb In this video on Tinker with Tools, I take a deep dive into the new Makita XGT GPH03 and compare it directly to the previous generation Makita XGT GPH01 to see what’s changed — and more importantly, whether it’s worth upgrading. The GPH03 introduces a new 3-speed gearbox, a first for Makita’s 40V XGT hammer drill lineup. But does that third speed actually improve performance, versatility, or control? Or is it just another spec on paper? In this review and side-by-side comparison, I’ll cover: • Torque and power differences • RPM ranges and what the 3-speed gearbox really does • Real-world drilling performance (wood, metal, and masonry) • Size, weight, and ergonomics • Clutch performance and control If you already own the GPH01, I’ll help you decide whether the GPH03 offers enough improvements to justify upgrading. And if you’re choosing your first Makita 40V XGT hammer drill, this comparison should make the decision much easier. Whether you’re drilling large auger bits, running spade bits, or tackling concrete in hammer mode, we’ll put both drills through real-world testing to see how they stack up.
