Our take on the Makita XFD12T 18-Volt 1/2-Inch 5.0Ah Compact Cordless Driver-Drill

The Makita XFD12T is an 18-volt compact drill-driver with a brushless motor and two 5.0Ah batteries. It is short and light for its class, which makes it easy to use overhead and in tight cabinets. The brushless motor and 5.0Ah packs give long runtime, and the two-speed gearbox plus 21 clutch settings cover everything from driving screws to boring holes. It suits homeowners and trade users who want a small drill that still has real power, though it costs more than brushed compact drills and lacks a hammer mode.
