This is Makita's 18V LXT brushless 1/2-inch driver-drill, sold as a kit with a 3.0Ah battery and charger. It delivers 580 in. lbs. of max torque through a two-speed transmission (0-500 and 0-1,900 RPM) and a 20-position clutch, in a body just 6-9/16 inches long that weighs 3.7 lbs. with the battery. Brushless motor and Extreme Protection Technology for dust and water resistance put it in line with pro-grade compact drills from DeWalt and Milwaukee, and owners tend to praise the power-to-size ratio and battery platform. It suits tradespeople and serious DIYers already on the LXT battery line more than casual users buying a first drill.
