    • Superior 18V Drill! This is the one to buy folks!
Style: Kit w/ 2.0Ah Batteries
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! ... show more

    • Lightweight but powerful
Style: Kit w/ 2.0Ah Batteries
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. ... show more

    • Makita is Great
Style: Bare Tool
Makita makes excellent tools. They do have a lower end line for the average user I suppose but I always choose the heaver duty tool line which this one is. I own three drills, mitre saw, nail guns, blowers, circular saws , sanders, polishing tools, all are Makita and none has ever failed and I 'm still using these tools, some for the last twelve years. I've tried other well known brands and some off brands they all have failed very soon and are trashed. ... show more

    • A quality Makita Tool
Style: Bare Tool
I purchased this drill to replace A Bosch cordless drill I left out in the rain unfortunately. I already have several Makita cordless tools so I figured I would replace the Bosch with this Drill as I had several batteries and the charger. I used it last week to install a new screen door and was really pleased with it's performance. It easily backed out 3"" wood screws that had been in place for years. The grip is excellent also, with the smaller Bosch grip with the tool under heavy load it sometimes would twist my wrist if I wasn't careful. With the Makita this was not an issue. I would recommend this tool without reservation to anyone who needs a quality drill. ... show more

    • Rugged, fast, and smart. My favorite drill/driver for under $100
Style: Bare Tool
After years of running a cheap 2.0AH 20v Black & Decker I finally decided to go with a Makita as I already run several of their brushless LXT tools. Both my mower and weed whacker uses the 36V dual system so I have a ton of batteries laying around. This was a no non-sense upgrade. What I did not expect us how much I was going to love using this tool. Yes, having batteries handy at the ready is a huge plus and why I stick with Makita but two features that stand out for me are the Torque-lock, where the speed of the tool remains constant and it self-adjusts Torque based on the desired setting. I'm able to keep my finger pressed on the trigger at the desired speed and if the screw I'm driving requires more torque the tool just does it for you. I don't have to press harder or risk stripping the head. I love that feature. The other is the two speed setting for when I need to unscrew stuff rapidly. The whole idea of buying a power tool is to make life easier than doing it by hand. For that job, this tool gets a solid 5 stars. It feels very well built, add the brushless motor and Makitas variable adjustment system and it would be very hard to beat this thing. The bonus is I get to only spend money on the tool and save money by not having to buy the charger and additional batteries. I love that about Makitas cordless fleet and I'm a customer for life. ... show more

    • Great drill, open box, and came with BAG at first.
Style: Kit w/ 2.0Ah Batteries
Review Image by Zal Zal
The box was open on arrival, but appears unused or very lightly used. I specifically chose this kit because it came with a hard case, but it arrived with just a bag. I contacted Amazon support and they made a nice arrangement to for me to get a hard case so that worked out fine. The drill itself is excellent--compact and balanced, and more powerful than I expected. Battery life is great: I made around 90 holes 1/2", 4 holes 1.25", and a 4" hole in 3/8" plastic, drove a dozen deck screws, and the battery was still at 4/4 bars. I'd give this 5 stars if not for the issues mentioned earlier. ... show more

    • My go-to drill for most tasks
Style: Bare Tool
Although I use the XDT16 for most driver tasks, the XFD12 is up to that as well. Now it is largely sued as a drill and it excels at that. It has more than enough speed and power for most tasks. The chuck is a little odd. Sometimes it is a little finicky engaging or disengaging when installing a bit. It has not been enough of an issue to keep me from using it, and perhaps it is operator induced since it grips just fine. i also have the XFD13 which is a slightly milder version of this one that also gets a lot of use, more for non-impact driver duty, and the XPH07 for heavier work or where a bigger hammer drill is required. ... show more
