DeWalt 20V MAX XR Drill/Driver DCD800P1 vs Makita 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Drill Kit
The DeWalt DCD800P1 is the stronger all-around drill for most shoppers. It has more power, a faster top speed, a bigger 5Ah battery and a compact 6.37 in. body. The Makita XFD13R1 is lighter and shorter in the hand, with dual LED lights and all-metal gears, so it suits overhead and tight-space work. Owners of both lines praise the brushless motors and build, but the DeWalt kit is the better one-and-done purchase.
- Choose the DeWalt DCD800P1 if you want one kit with a 5Ah battery, charger and bag, and you need more power and speed for heavy drilling and driving.
- Choose the Makita XFD13R1 if you already own Makita 18V LXT batteries and want a light, compact drill for overhead and cabinet work.
