The 18-Volt LXT lithium-ion Cordless 1/2 in. Driver-Drill (model XFD07T) breaks new ground with a full 1,090 in./lbs. of torque for the most demanding drilling and driving applications. It features a Makita BL Brushless Motor for longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. It is positioned at the top of Makita deep line-up of driver-drills and is a workhorse tool engineered with durability features for operation in harsh job site conditions. The 18-Volt LXT 5.0 Ah battery provides 65% more run time per charge than the 3.0Ah battery (BL1830), yet it charges in only 45-minutes – the fastest charge-time in the category – for less downtime and increased productivity. For added convenience, the battery features an integrated LED. battery charge level indicator. It’s part of Makita expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18-Volt 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.

I am extremely satisfied with Home Depot. The Makita drill is fantastic, the price was great, the packaging was very good and delivery was rapid. A great tool and a great job. Thank you, Home Depot.

The ergonomics of this drill, with the outrigger handle attached are as good as any other LXT I have. The weight is heavy for cordless but not as bad as expected. Where it shines is in it’s raw power and control.I spent much of the last two days drilling 1″ diameter holes in white oak 6x8s for concrete anchors and pegs. My old heavy duty LXT drill would do it under protest, this drill just smiled and pushed on. It even walked in some 8 ” Spax screws that my impact driver gave up on- without hesitation (again into white oak).Battery life is pretty good. To be fair, I was mostly using the new 4 amp hour batteries, but I was drilling big holes in hard wood. The drill is well balanced and the light is useful if you are working in dark spaces. Without the side handle, the torque may be too much, with it, my big right angle drills will be collecting dust.

Despite being only a little bigger than my other cordless Makita drill, this thing is MUCH more powerful. It’s easily capable of running a mixing blade in a 5 gallon bucket of cement or drywall mud. The handle is very easy to attach, and remove, and gives plenty of leverage.

I bought this drill to run a ice auger and it works super.

This drill has all kinds of power and is by far the best cordless drill I have used since my first Makita 7.2v cordless back in the mid-late 80’s. The downfall of this drill though is the cheap chuck. All metal construction, but I think it is recycled tinfoil. A couple years use and it will not hold a drill bit tight to save your soul. Chuck jaws are out of alignment and there is no way you can get them to stay tight. Buy it for the drill, then immediately take that garbage chuck off and replace it with a Jacobs keyless chuck and be happy for years and years.
