  • An excellent drill and driver
Style: Kit
An excellent cordless driver/drill. Makita has always made very good tools for the trades.

  • This Makita Drill Rocks
Style: Kit
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) ... show more

  • Makitas are bulletproof!!
Style: Kit
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.. ... show more

  • Powerful drill in a small package.
Style: Kit
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.

  • Drill works, Unsure about it!
Style: Kit
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. ... show more

  • Great DIY drill
Style: Kit
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. ... show more

  • Very impressive drill: great torque and power
Style: Kit
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. ... show more
