XFD10Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Driver-Drill, Tool Only, 1/2"

Great tool. Light weight, very easy to use

There are honestly a lot of good drills out there, but what makes this one stand out is that it has a mechanical clutch. Most drills have electronic clutches that make the tool way too strong, so even on low torque settings you still end up stripping screws and potentially even breaking the thing youre screwing into. The mechanical clutch in this one means that for work involving fasteners, you have the delicate touch you need to not destroy anything. And yet in spite of that, its still among the most powerful drills (not THE most powerful 18v, but its up there) for when do need that. I have been abusing this thing constantly for two years now and it still operates just like that day i bought it. I have left it out in the sweltering florida sun multiple times, and even in the rain one time. While I dont advice you ever do that, my unit seems completely unphased by it. I would buy this drill 10x over

Have used Makita tools for years. My last drill lasted 15+ years. Was in the middle of a project when it died. Went to Home Depot and Lowe’s to replace but they only sold kits with multiple tools I did not need. Back to Amazon where I could get just this one item. Paused the project for 2 days then this arrived. Lighter weight than the last one, just as strong, and quieter. Highly recommend!

Great drill. Light, nice features, plenty of power. I have no complaints at all about the drill but be careful who is listed as the "seller". In my case the seller was HVAC And TOOLS Direct. I did receive the drill in a timely fashion however the manner in which it was shipped is my issue. The drill was wrapped in a single sheet of plastic bubble wrap and then dropped into a box twice much bigger than the drill without any padding material of any kind to prevent it from rolling around the box during shipping. Also, it was not in any kind of original manufacturer product box, there was no manual, warranty card, no printed material of any kind. I find this unacceptable. I'll keep the drill, as it is undamaged (sheer luck) and works well, but I will never buy a product from HVAC And TOOLS Direct again.

great product at a decent price. replaced old unit.

I bought this drill to replace an earlier one that had the chuck seize after 12 years. It was badly corroded and I could have prevented the failure. I ran a small construction company for 9 years and learned that Makita, Bosch, Milwaukee, and Porter Cable make the best tools. Makita is the most reasonably priced among these, for a tool you intend to buy only once. This drill was designed smaller on purpose, with super torque. Smaller drills get in more spaces, especially in cabinetry. With 2 batts, and one always charging, you can build a deck or a fence quickly and sink 4.5 inch screws all day long. DeWalt, Ridgid, Ryobi can't do that - they don't have the torque this drill has. The charging station sings a Bach tune letting you know you have a fresh batt fully charged. It was designed for professionals that need to keep working without interruption. It's balanced and ergonomic for the professional, and easy to carry up a tall ladder. I don't have any tattoos. I'm thinking about getting a tattoo of this drill... but not really. My fav pro tools are Milwaukee, but their prices are nowhere near as friendly. On a side note, use Milwaukee drill bits on your Makita to save you time and frustration ;-)

The makita XFD10Z is a not a brushless motor and it sparks when you let of the trigger. I would not recommend this drill do to the arcing and the smell of burning wire when you are using it.

Drills harder than an MTI on day 1 of basic… this thing is dope. It punches holes in the frame of my car with (relative) ease. Durable enough to be used as a hammer in a jiff, fairly respectable battery life, and works as it should.
