- Is this drill good for home use?
- Yes. It handles drilling in wood and metal, driving screws and light assembly work, and the two batteries let you keep working while one charges.
- Does it come with batteries and a charger?
- Yes, it is a kit: it includes 18V LXT batteries and a charger. Check the listing for the exact battery capacity, since kits vary.
- Can it drill into concrete?
- No. It has no hammer mode, so for masonry you need a hammer drill or rotary hammer.
- Will the batteries fit my other Makita tools?
- Yes. The batteries use the 18V LXT platform, which fits the full range of LXT tools.
- How does it compare with Makita's more powerful 18V drills?
- It is lighter and more compact but has less torque. Choose the bigger drill for heavy auger or hole-saw work, and this one for general drilling and driving.
- What bits does the chuck take?
- The 1/2-inch keyless chuck takes standard round and hex-shank bits up to 1/2 inch.
- Where is the Makita 18V LXT Brushless Lithium-Ion Drill Kit cheapest?
- At Prime Buy, for $400.00, as of our latest check.
