MakitaXFD131 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 1/2" Driver-Drill Kit (3.0Ah)

Just finished my first actual job with this drill and I truly stand by it. It’s a great drill with some power to it. I will update to see how long it will last. I have high hopes for this drill from what I’ve already experienced with it. The battery is impressive and charges quick ( we hope that lasts forever)

I bought this set over a year ago and it is still going strong. For a drill, it is a moderate weight; not too heavy. The grip is good for my small-ish hands. It performs very well; I would recommend to anybody

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.

I have never had a poor Makita product and this compact driver drill is excellent. It is powerful and is easy to use. Variable speed/torque and quick chuck .

I do woodworking as a hobby/side profession, as well as home renovations so I wanted to upgrade my old equipment I inherited for something newer. So, with semi-regular use I haven't had to recharge the battery in over a week. Aside from that, the drill itself is ergonomic (subjective, everyone will have a different opinion on this), light, and powerful. Unless you're doing heavy construction you probably don't need anything beyond this, although if you, are you may still want one for smaller tasks. The real value is of course the charger and battery pack, which you can use in any other 18V Makita tool you add to your collection. If you tack on the $30-something Makita drill bit set this is a fairly expensive investment, but you're probably never going to have to buy another drill again if you end up going through with it.

Well, not sure about this. This is the second one. First one, no battery, double taped, box pushed in, scuffs an marks on the drill as if it had been used. Replacement received. Got everything, and it works, but not sure about it. I have owned lots of Makita items and never received one in this shape. Put the battery in, and it all looks like an official authentic Makita, and seems to work as expected. I will keen it, as it is easy to use and will most likely do well for me. From all the reviews, I am not the only one who received a package messed up. I am wondering if these are all seconds or something. I certainly am no Makita expert, but the condition of the drill received is not as I have received in the past. Of course, times have changed. This drill should be fine, but, I am hoping it will be is as one expects from Makita.

This is a must have for me to keep in my car. Used it just a few days ago when I went out to my car and realized I had a flat tire. I was able to inflate the tire so that I could drive to the tire store to have it properly repaired.

Great drill for the price. Has lots of power. Feels well built.
