Our take on the Makita XFD131 Driver Drill Kit, Battery Included, 18 V, 3 Ah, Keyless Chuck

The Makita XFD131 is an 18V brushless cordless driver-drill kit with a 1/2-inch keyless chuck, 440 in-lb of max torque and a 3.8 lb weight with battery. Its brushless motor is rated for up to 50% more work per charge and longer tool life than the brushed drills it replaces. It suits pros and serious DIYers already in Makita's 18V LXT system, or anyone who wants a light drill with strong torque and a fast-charging battery. Against compact 12V drills it is heavier but far more capable; against premium 18V flagships it gives up a hammer mode and some top-end speed.
