- Is this drill strong enough for deck building?
- For driving deck screws, yes. For boring large holes or running hole saws, its 440 in-lbs will struggle; a full-size 18V drill is the better tool there.
- Does the kit include a battery and charger?
- Yes. The kit ships with one 18V LXT 3.0 Ah lithium-ion battery and a charger, plus the drill and a case.
- Will my other Makita 18V batteries fit?
- Yes. It uses the standard Makita 18V LXT slide-on batteries, so any LXT pack you own will work.
- How does it compare with Makita's full-size 18V drill?
- It is shorter and lighter but has less torque and no hammer mode. Choose it for handling and tight spaces, the full-size for heavy drilling.
- Can it drill into masonry?
- No. It is a drill driver without a hammer function; use a hammer drill for brick and concrete.
- What size bits does the chuck take?
- The 1/2-inch keyless chuck takes bits up to 1/2 inch shank, covering common drill and driver bits.
