I own a wide array of cordless power tools, but after seeing and realizing it's potential - had to make Makita's new compact 18 Volt LXT (Lithium-Ion) drill part of my arsenal. There is a tool for everything, heavy duty, high torque for big jobs, and light duty for trim-out and finish work. The problem is heavy duty tools are bulky and/or heavy, and light duty tools, while compact/lightweight are wimpy and/or task specific.

This drill represents the next step in the evolution of cordless tools. Makita comes close to achieving perfection with the concept of reigning in the size of, while retaining the "power" in your power tool. It is extremely powerful while being very compact (8" long/9"tall and lightweight 3.5 pounds total including battery). This approximates the size and weight of a high quality 9.6 volt drill by comparison, but has the power of a true 18 volt powerhouse.

The four pole motor delivers smooth, precisely controlled power (450 inch/lbs torque, 2 speed (0-400/0-1500 Rpm). Professional grade standard features include; user replaceable carbon brushes and an all metal transmission with variable clutch and Jacobs single sleeve one-handed keyless 1/2" chuck. The drill has an ergonomic comfortable grip and balanced feel, which when combined with it's unbelievabley light weight significantly reduces user fatigue.

It derives it's power from what I would describe as a "pancake" battery pack which when installed protrudes 1-1/8 inches from the bottom of the drill. This new style battery is totally unique and is in my opinion a "stroke of genius". It significantly reduces weight and eliminates bulk. This let's you get in tight spaces and doesn't tire your arm during extended use. It is a 1.5 Ampere-hour battery, but packs a punch. The kit comes with two batteries and while you may say 1.5 Ah isn't construction standard compared to the 3 Ah, think again. "They give ya 2 of 'em, so you can git 'er done" and they recharge in 15 minutes compared to 30 min - 1 hour for other typical packs. By the way, the larger 3 AH Makita lithium batteries also fit this drill. So is makes a great add-on or starting point to your Makita LXT power tool kit. - Leonard Electrician from Panama City Beach, Florida

I purchased this item after spending a great deal of time researching cordless drills. Most of the reviews I read spoke positively about the drill but I noticed a considerable amount of concern related to the batteries.

After owning the drill for 7 months and remodeling an entire home with it, I am pleased to report that this drill is my favorite tool in the garage. The battery life is great and I have no negative remarks whatsoever about the batteries or the drill.

I've used my drill for a range of tasks that include light work around the home (installing curtain rods and hanging photos) as well as heavy-duty tasks (mixing mortar and driving thousands of screws into sub-flooring in preparation for installing hardwood floors).

As a woman, I appreciate the weight of this drill, which is lighter than most drills on the market. The built-in LED light is another excellent feature on this item.

This drill may be more expensive than some of the other options out there, but it's well worth the money!
