XFD131 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 1/2" Driver-Drill Kit (3.0Ah), Variable Speed

Powerful, holds a charge, charges quickly. Great DIY/homeowners tool. Only negative, the light casts a shadow over point of use.

An excellent cordless driver/drill. Makita has always made very good tools for the trades.

Well, maybe not bullet proof, but I have had an older variant for over 10 years. Dropped it numerous times, literally beaten it to death. AND IT STILL WORKS! I am hopeful with this new purchase that it lives up to the hype and longevity aspects that Makita is known for. The drill came well packaged with simple clear instructions. I charged the battery and popped it in the drill and squeezed the trigger a few times...wow! You can feel the increased torque almost immediately. So far I am impressed. Hopefully you will be too..

The XFD131 replaced an older Mikita drill that I damaged the chuck on. Replacing a chuck is expensive and I could not remove the chuck anyway. The XFD131 was a good value that came with a 3-amp battery. It is much smaller but more powerful than the one it replaced. Love my Mikita 18 volt tools.

Having owned several drills over the past 50 years (all but two corded), I am very impressed with the Makita cordless drill, especially its ratio of power and torque to its light weight. Easy to handle and maneuver. Love the 1/2 inch chuck that holds the bits firmly. For its price, you cannot go wrong with this machine. Look no further. It's a super tool for DIY folks. Uncertain about its durability, though, for heavy construction work 300 days a year. It's perfect for me.

I picked this brushless drill up for a pretty good price on sale. I have both a brushed Makita LXT drill, and a brushed Makita LXT impact driver. In addition, I have a Dewalt brushed drill and a brushed Dewalt impact driver. Cutting to the chase, I love the weight and balance of the Makita drills and impact drivers. I have arthritis in my hands, and have had surgery removing the bones in my thumbs. The Makita drills and impact drivers (older brushed or this brushless) feel comfortable and don't hurt my hands. In addition, the clutches and chucks on the Makitas all just work great. By comparison, the Dewalts are slightly heavier, the clutches a bit noisier, and the chucks are not as good. In particular, the Dewalts have an issue where bits loosen in the chuck if you just spin the bit tight in the chuck by pulling the trigger til tight. If you do not then manually grab the chuck and tighten further on the Dewalt, the bit will loosen. This does not happen with this or my other Makitas. So, the Makita batteries. First, they are just too expensive. The expense of replacement batteries is why I started looking at Dewalt drill/drivers. In addition, the reason I have multiple Makita drills is that it was cheaper to buy the kit for the battery and get the charger and drill for free than it was to just buy the battery alone. That plan seemed to work until I found that the new Makita LXT tools and batteries are not interchangeable in all cases with the older LXT tools and batteries; and if I recall properly the chargers are not compatible as well. So I am left with this dichotomy - I love Makita drills and drivers while I hate Makita batteries. I think I am going to look into rebuilding Makita batteries with new cells.

I love makita tools

Just purchased my second Makita XFD131 drill. Initially, bought this to drill holes in ceiling joists that were being bolted together. There wasn't a lot of space to fit both the drill and drill bit. This drill is smaller than most, so it fit the tight spaces. And with a Diablo drill bit it went through old and new wood with ease. Also works great driving in 4" wood screws.

la mejor inversion 2-3 años usandola y me dio para comprar el hermano de impacto y un roto martillo makita son una chulada.

今まではインパクトドライバーでドリルチャックをつけて穴あけしていました。それなりに作業出来ていたのですが、ちょっと穴を開ける本数が多くなってきたのでこちらを購入。 ドリルチャックの付け根が折れる心配無いし、しっかりまっすぐつければブレる事も少ない。 やっぱり穴あけはこっちですね。 3Aは予備にして6Aの18Vで穴開けてますが自分の作業ではバッテリー使い切る事は無さそうです。

特に問題なく、電池のもちもいいです❕

Taladro se ve y se siente de muy buenos materiales, el precio esta muy bien, termine pidiendo otro taladro de impacto de caracteristics similares, incluye bateria 3 Ampers, bolsa y cargador, obviamente el taladro tambien

新品の商品が来ました。 ケースはちょっと小さめでしたが問題はありません。
