About Makita's 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless Tool Series As one of the pioneers driving the cordless tool revolution, Makita changed the game with its breakthrough 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless series. Three years after its debut, Makita's LXT series has grown from seven to over 35 tools, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen. Makita also added 18-volt compact lithium-ion for cordless power in a more compact size. Makita's 18-volt lithium-ion batteries and ENERGY-STAR rated Optimum Charging System provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18-volt NiCd batteries, Makita's 18-volt lithium-ion batteries have 40% less weight, longer run time, and five times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use at any time.

Outstanding Drill and Batteries January 17, 2009 Forest Majors (Hadlyme Connecticut) 29 out of 34 found this review helpful
One of the best portable power tools that I have purchased. I required a small hammer drill with enough power to drive cement screws into a well seasoned fireplace from the inside of the chimney. Not only did this Drill perform well inside this small space it performed better than my other more industrial size hammer drill. Secondly, the lithium-Ion batteries hold a charge forever. Very Impressive - highly recommended.
I like the drill May 16, 2009 Michael J. Gallagher (Grand Rapids, MI) 15 out of 19 found this review helpful
The keyless chuck has beem improved remarkably from the previous drill. The drill is lightweight, smaller batteries which recharge quickly. Overall very satisfied with this drill.
Lasted longer than Craftsman, but not a Dewalt October 29, 2009 Michael Rutkowski (Bozeman, MT) 13 out of 17 found this review helpful
Exactly as the title says. I was one of the first to buy this drill amongst the builders I work with, and after a few years, I saw this drill at every job site, if not the drill then one of the power tools of this series. I can't lie, this is an excellent tool. Very light, and delivering a lot of power. Very handy when wiring in rafters, in crawlspaces, inside appliances, etc. Great for tight spots which need a lot of power.
Nonetheless, it died on me after I think 2.5 years. I do plan on claiming the warranty on this, since I would rather have this when doing a fair amount of drilling, than the much larger 18V Dewalt XRP I also own. I would safely compare it to this drill. The Makita does not have the hammer drill option, but the Dewalt is lacking the Lithium Ion battery, so they balance each other out.
I would suggest that Makita use a lighter weight metal alloy as the casing, and beef up the gears and gear switch instead of having a plastic one. A hammer drill option and maybe 24 V would make this the best drill on the market, hands down. I have dropped this drill off of an 8 foot ladder, and it didn't even loosen the casing, so it is definitely sturdy on the outside, but the inside is a little too flimsy for serious work. This drill gets hot after drilling for a few minutes in hard wood, and the chuck needs to have an optional chuck key, as it loosens pretty easily.
All in all, this drill would get 5 stars from me if it lasted a bit longer. I've never had to turn a tool in for a warranty, but I like this tool so much, I am going to try it out and see what happens. Stay tuned...
not bad April 16, 2009 kevin murray (gaysmills wisconsin) 15 out of 20 found this review helpful
the good:
its a nice gun, worked with a guy with the new milwakee and this one is alot lighter, the light is great, lots of power
the bad:
the case leaves alot to be desired, if you have to carry alot of bits there is not really any good spot, things dont fit well (like the extra battery, it doesnt really fit in its spot, very crummy design)and things bounce around alot in there. they could do alot better
A Dynamic Drill May 15, 2009 Richard Leon (Jersey City, NJ United States) 12 out of 16 found this review helpful
I was using a 12V DeWalt for years and I even had two batteries rebuilt (not a good solution) before I considered this light weight Drill. This drill has plenty of power with very little wieght. Just built an 8 X 10 deck with this tool and drilled a few pieces of slate as well. The light is welcomed as the job continued into dusk. Recharge is quick, but the fan is noisy. I am a very happy camper! No Complaints
