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).

Bought my first makita 18 v in 2005 it finally broke the switch button and can’t be fixed. I still have 1 original battery. I bought this new makita bc batteries are interchangeable. So happy with choosing makita. Thanks a lot.

I have been using a corded drill for a long time and because of a new project I decided to get a cordless. After reading lots of review I finally went with the Makita XFD10R. This was a great choice. It feels comfortable in the hand and balanced. The batteries charge fast. I wish I would have gotten one sooner.

The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2 in. XPT Drill/Driver is just simply the best in reliably, cost, life expectancy. Obviously you have to be the person who knows how to care for their tools. I wish I had two.

Patently an outstanding drill. Well made, takes allot of abuse and keeps and going. Absolutely no issues or complaints with this drill. Lightyears ahead of the Ridgid that it replaced at the same price.
