The Makita XFD12T is a compact 18V brushless 1/2-inch driver-drill kit built for a strong power-to-weight ratio. Its brushless motor delivers 530 in-lbs of max torque with a two-speed transmission (0-500 and 0-2,000 RPM) and adjustable clutch settings for everything from large fasteners to delicate screws. At 3.9 lbs with the 5.0Ah battery, it sits lighter than many full-size 18V drills while staying in Makita's broad LXT battery platform. It suits pros and serious DIYers who want one compact drill for drilling and driving, though shoppers wanting a hammer mode or a more compact sub-compact body should look elsewhere.

Owners of Makita's compact brushless drills generally rate the power-to-weight balance and battery life highly, and the XFD12T follows that pattern. Common complaints center on the lack of a hammer function and the bulk of the 5.0Ah pack.
