MakitaXFD15ZB 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless 1/2" Driver-Drill, Tool Only, Black

Purchased first drill 2023 loved it so much purchased second drill 2024. Drills light weight and has the power to drive 6 inch power pro screws with a problem. Haven't had any problems with them holding drills or driver bits.

The power levels really make the job easier. This is a great impact drill

Very good tool. It’s durable and functional.

The drill is smaller then it looked but it’s works I like the power with the bigger batt

Drill is ok, do what its suppose to do. The head of the drill slips sometimes, the gears bursts but can be used.

I purchased this to have an extra drill/driver so I don't have to switch bits between drillbit and driver for installing screws. Already have a bunch of Makita batteries so stuck with Makita. It's brushless, which I like, and quite compact, so it fits in tight spaces. Nonetheless it has a ton of power and works as well as my older larger drill/driver. The LED light helps when drilling in tight spaces. The Makita 18V tool lineup is awesome and this was a great addition.

I was really excited to get the first one. Nothing but rave reviews and a lightweight, but powerful, little quality drill was exactly what I needed. I hadn't really invested in the platform to this point, but I was taking the plunge.The chuck got stuck in the locked position after the third use. No amount of persuasion worked. I spend days pouring through youtube videos in an attempt to find a solution. When it came down to taking the entire tool apart, I cried uncle. A brand new drill from a brand with a solid reputation shouldn't have this issue.Take two. Second brand new drill.People need to understand that this drill has been a primarily house drill. Called into light action a few times a month for things like mounting a shelf. I also have a hobby shop and it was used there. But I've been down with spinal surgery for almost a year now and haven't have the opportunity to work in there all year. The drill wasn't being kicked around on a construction site. Far from it. The damn thing never had the chance to learn what sawdust looked like.Spinal issues fixed, physical therapy about wrapped up. It's time for mama to get back to work. I decided to build a plywood box as my first foot in the door. Drill about 20 pilot holes and drive the same number of wood screws.I can't. I can't do it because the jaws have failed in some weird way that I've never seen before. Two of the jaws move just fine, but the third is loose. I lock in the drill bit and that one jaw just can't hang on. I've had to 'unscrew' the drill bit from my piece twice with channel locks. This has NEVER happened to me in 40 years of using a tool like this. Insane.I can forgive one bad tool. It happens. Never happened to me before, but it's fine. I did shrug it off and moved on at the time.But not two in a row.What really irritates me is that I did like the drill. The power was fantastic. It was so compact and lightweight - even with the battery - that it was a pleasure to use. As a female with short fingers and small hands, this was the most comfortable drill I've ever owned in my life. I love it.But I need a RELIABLE tool above all else.So today I'm buying an emergency Dewalt just so I can move on with my life. I'm terribly disappointed with Makita and I cannot trust the brand after this. NOT a good first impression. Not at all.

Great product. Very powerful for a size. I must have for your tool kit.
