Does the XAD02Z come with a battery and charger?

No. It is sold as a bare tool, so you need a Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion battery and charger separately.

Can I use other brands' 18V batteries?

No. Makita specifies this tool only for Makita 18V lithium-ion batteries.

What size bits does the chuck take?

The keyless chuck is 3/8 inch, so it takes bits with a 3/8-inch shank.

Is it powerful enough for hole saws?

It delivers up to 121 in-lbs of torque, which suits small bits and light boring. Large hole saws and auger bits will strain it.

How does it compare with a standard 18V drill?

It trades power and compactness for a right-angle head that reaches into tight spaces a straight drill cannot.

Does it have a light?

Yes, a built-in LED illuminates the work area.

Our take on the Makita XAD02Z 18V LXT Cordless Angle Drill

The Makita XAD02Z is a bare-tool 18V LXT right-angle drill built for driving and boring in tight spots where a standard drill will not fit. Its 3-1/2-inch angled head and 3/8-inch keyless chuck reach into stud bays, cabinets and between joists. The 4-pole motor delivers up to 121 in-lbs of torque and 1,800 rpm with variable speed, and Star Protection guards against overload. At about 4 lbs and 12-3/8 inches long, it is heavier and longer than compact right-angle drills but runs on Makita's large 18V battery line.
