§ FAQ

Why choose the XSF03R compact kit over the XSF03T?

The XSF03R uses smaller 2.0Ah compact batteries that charge in 25 minutes or less and reduce tool weight, making it ideal for lighter work or when battery swapping speed is a priority. The XSF03T includes higher-capacity 5.0Ah batteries for longer run time.

How fast do the batteries in the XSF03R charge?

The included 2.0Ah BL1820B batteries reach a full charge in 25 minutes or less with the included DC18RC rapid optimum charger.

Does the XSF03R work the same as the XSF03Z?

Yes, the XSF03R kit contains the XSF03Z tool with identical performance — 0–4,000 RPM, Push Drive technology, adjustable nose piece, and XPT protection — plus batteries, charger, and case.

Can the compact batteries in the XSF03R be used in other 18V LXT tools?

Yes, the BL1820B compact 2.0Ah batteries are compatible with all 18V LXT tools with a Star symbol.

Does the XSF03R include an autofeed magazine?

No, the XSF03R does not include an autofeed magazine. For an autofeed version with compact batteries, note that the XSF03RX2 has been discontinued. The XSF03TX2 offers autofeed with 5.0Ah batteries.
