Review: Superior 18V Drill! This is the one to buy folks! - I have been waiting for this drill to be available and I am so glad I waited for this model! After using this drill now for over 4 months I have to say, this is finest cordless drill I have used in the 18V Brushless line of drills! As always with Makita, the fit and finish is just outstanding! The build quality and overall ergonomics is way better than any other brand and feels so great in your hand! This drill has an all steel gear and drive housing for excellent strength and durability. It has an excellent ratcheting chuck with no bit wobble that I could tell what's so ever. These Makita chucks holds the bits extremely well and don't come loose at all. The brushless motor can put out some serious torque and seems to run forever on these lithium 2.0 batteries. I can tell this new brushless technology is a big improvement in power, weight, temperature, and run time! Overall, the Makita XFD12R is the best 18V drill on the market, hands down! I highly recommend this drill, you will not be disappointed!
Review: Lightweight but powerful - We ordered this to use with scrub pads that clean the inside of our glass shower surround. It is battery operated and light enough that I can use it without wrist strain. Makita tools are high quality as is reflected in the price. There is an LED light that helps with visibility in corners or darker spaces. Be cautious as it is a powerful drill and must not be used by children or dropped in water.
