Description
The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Driver-Drill (XFD12R) is an ideal drilling and driving solution for the user who wants a drill with superior power-to-weight ratio. The XFD12R combines 530 in lbs. of Max Torque with an efficient brushless motor that delivers up 50% more work per charge, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. For the pro user, this means more drilling and driving power, greater productivity, and fewer trips up and down the scaffolding or ladder to get to the battery charger. In driver mode, the adjustable torque settings provide more control for a full range of applications, from large fasteners to smaller, delicate screws. It weighs only 3.4 lbs. (with 2.0Ah battery) for increased comfort and superior power-to-weight ratio. The kit includes two efficient 18V LXT Compact 2.0Ah batteries, and each reach a full charge in only 25 minutes – the fastest charge-time in the category – for less downtime and increased productivity. 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.

An excellent compact 1/2 inch driver-drill. Nice set. Want to get the 3.0Ah batteries for a little more power and time between recharges.

Well made, lighter and brushless motor seems to deliver more torque and run time. Negatives: lower speed (which I use most) is faster than the 500 rpm as labeled. Variable speed trigger is not even close to linear and can be difficult to manage if you want to slow things down.

I love the drill BUT, it arrived in a previously opened/resealed box w/lots of tape. The packaging was missing from the inside so the drill was loose inside the box and you could see where it had been rubbing the inside of the box. As I stated, love the drill but it was in somewhat used condition.

Best investment for me. This is a really nice drill. Quality is great and it will twist your arm off If your in to that kind of thing…

After about thirty years, my old 12 volt Makita just didn’t have what it takes any longer so I opted for the new 18 volt LXT. Fantastic! Excellent power, good run time, and the fastest battery recharge I have seen. For all my woodworking and repair jobs around home, I will always reach for my trusted Makita.

Pax’s a decent power but not as light as I would like

Nice drill and batteries w/ charger. Comes with about a quarter charge so u can use it out of the box. Only complaint is that it does not want to tighten up screws even on the highest torque setting. Otherwise I am very pleased with the unit.

Good battery life and torque.
Emmanuelle Reilly (verified owner) –
Thankful for the hard carrying case to easily tote around. The battery charger has charged batteries very quickly. And the drill has worked well, no issues yet.

Excellent drill. Very powerful. Quite a step up from my ryobi

I thought I was getting the smallest 18V Makita drill. This unit is slightly larger and heavier and has longer rated batteries. Not getting their smallest and lightest unit was a disappointment.However this is a high quality product and performs well. Just perhaps a little too much speed and torque for the light cabinet work I need to do. Its pricey compared to the Dewalt 20v equivalent, but likely a better product based on the reviews.Lets see how I feel after 6 months and the completion of the cabinet work.

As of this review, this is Makita’s least-expensive 18V drill, and it happens to be brushless (!). It’s actually even cheaper than Makita’s own 12V brushless drill. It’s strange to me this drill is as inexpensive as it is. Because if you had to go with just one drill to have in the house…I think this is the one I’d choose, and that’s regardless of price. Relatively compact and just over 3lbs, it’s light and small enough I don’t notice it’s weight and size during use on very small, precise applications. At the same time, the power this model is capable of is far greater than anything I expect to find use for. On its high-speed setting it casually punched a 2” hole through 3/8” thick industrial plastic using a bit that was really very poorly chosen for the material (just what I had in front of me at the time). Although you may need to use the low-speed, high-torque setting, I figure this should be perfectly adequate for cutting 4” holes into most woods. If for some reason you felt compelled to bother doing such.Which brings us to, realistically what are you really going to use this for? Ultimately 95% of what I use a drill for is 1/2” or less. For me at least, most holes larger than an inch or two I need very precise diameters that no one would ever make a bit for, so I’d be reaching for another tool anyway.I first bought this drill with the idea that it would be my “small” everyday drill and then I’d just get Makita’s “Big Kahuna” drill some other time for projects that may call for it (maybe with the next model update, as their current one is a few years old now). But as this has so easily met all my needs, for now at least I’m hard-pressed to see the utility in getting anything more. Relatively compact, plenty of power, truer and more precise than the plastic chuck might suggest to some. Plus it’s brushless! I’ve been really impressed with the efficiency is has thus far. A humble 3Ah battery just seems to last and last and last on this thing.To sum it up, if you’re just looking for an everyday drill, don’t let the low price fool you. You’ll probably be pretty happy with this one.
