Is this drill strong enough for deck or framing work?

No. It is a 12V max compact driver-drill built for light drilling and driving. For decking, framing or large hole saws, an 18V drill is the right tool.

What is the difference between CXT slide batteries and pod batteries?

CXT packs slide onto the base of the tool instead of inserting into the handle. Makita says this gives better balance and ergonomics, and the packs carry an LED charge-level indicator.

Does it come with batteries and a charger?

The kit version is sold with two 2.0Ah 12V max CXT batteries, a charger and a tool case. Check the listing for whether you are getting the kit or the bare tool.

Can it use the same batteries as Makita 18V tools?

No. It takes 12V max CXT slide batteries only. Makita's 18V LXT packs are a different size and voltage and do not fit.

What can it drill through?

It handles light work in wood, plastic and thin metal, and driving screws. It is not intended for concrete or masonry.

Our take on the Makita DC10WD 12V CXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 3/8 Drill Driver

The Makita 12V max CXT 3/8" Driver-Drill is an ultra-compact cordless drill for light drilling, driving and fastening. It uses slide-style 12V max CXT batteries, which give better balance and a slimmer grip than pod-style packs, and each battery has an on-board LED charge indicator. It suits cabinet work, furniture assembly and overhead jobs where a full-size 18V drill is too bulky. Against 18V drills it gives up power and runtime, but it is smaller and lighter; against other 12V drills its slide-pack balance is the main edge.
