The Makita 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2 in. Driver-Drill (model XFD10R) delivers power, performance and superior ergonomics in a compact size, with a fast-charging battery for less down time. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. 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. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18-Volt LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside. The XFD10R is powered by a Makita built 4-pole motor that delivers 480 in. / lbs. of MAX Torque, with an all-metal 2-speed transmission (0-600/0-1,900 RPM). It has a compact and ergonomic design with less weight and superior balance for reduced operator fatigue and a rubberized soft grip for increased comfort on the job. The built-in LED light illuminates the job area for applications in dark spaces and close quarters.

The best drill ever !!! It stays charged for an extremely long periods while you use it and does not take long to recharge either. I had the first generation Makita Cordless drill in 1992 I thought that one was great. But the new technology in this one is really great. I would buy another one as for a backup if you could find it.

Drill handles well, has a good feel to it while you’re working. I haven’t used it extensively but on the holes I drilled it worked fine. The driving power seems pretty good too as I had to drive several 2-1/2 in. screws. The driver drove the screw all the way in to the wood up to the screw head but it wouldn’t screw it beyond the wood surface facia leaving it just a glitch above and not flush. An electric drill motor would have driven them in ALL the way but I’m not comparing this Makita to a drill motor. I think it performs a little better than I expected and would recommend it. The work light distracts more than it helps because the light beam is obstructed by the chuck and causes a shadow. I may end up just putting a piece of electrical tape to cover the light. All-in-all, I gave it a 4 star……nice drill, you’ll like it!

I have owned cordless drills for years but this is my first ever Makita product. This drill is built solid and manages to feel durable while pulling off a more compact size. It runs extremely smoothly and has a great battery life. I also like the built in belt hook to make it easier to tote with you on projects where you need to move around more.

Quality and performance surpasses all other brands.

Once I got one that had not been already returned and had issues, it worked great and I highly recommend this Makita drill. Just check your box and open it first to make sure it has not been opened.
