The Makita 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2 in. Driver-Drill (model XFD10Z, tool-only, battery sold separately) delivers power, performance and superior ergonomics in a compact size, with an efficient 4-pole motor that delivers 480 in. lbs. of MAX Torque and 25% more speed than the previous model. It’s part of Makita expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by 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 XFD10Z is built with an all-metal 2-speed transmission (0-600 RPM / 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.

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.

Third Makita power tool in my workshop! Excellent ergonomics and design.

This is the second of this excellent product I have purchased. The first one is still healthy, but having two means never having to swap out drill bits, or at least much less often. The batteries are finite, they last about three years, but otherwise it simply doesn’t get any better.

Does what it is supposed to. Battery life is a little lacking, thought a charge would last longer.
Jamel Wilderman (verified owner) –
Just what I needed really recommend.

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.

I am a 72 yr old woman , it is light enough for me to handle . I have handled picture hanging , repairs so easily . The battery charges in 20 min . And I have the blower that can use one of the batteries . So this saved me money , as it came with 2 .Forgot to mention I have the vacumn in the same line for a year , recommend it to everyone .
