About Makita's 18V Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless Tool Series
As one of the pioneers driving the cordless tool revolution, Makita changed the game with its breakthrough 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Series. Three years after its debut, Makita's LXT Series has grown from seven to over 35 tools, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen. Makita also added 18V compact lithium-ion for cordless power in a more compact size. Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries and ENERGY STAR rated Optimum Charging System provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries, Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have 40% less weight, longer run time, and five-times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use at any time.

Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion battery delivers 2,000 cycles--2.5X more than Ni-Cd. In addition, built-in shock absorbing features help protect the battery, and 16 firm-holding contact terminals deliver constant high power. During the charging process, a built-in memory chip in the battery communicates with the Optimum Charger for a more efficient charge, extending the battery life. Makita's Optimum Charger is also faster: it will charge an 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery in just 30 minutes, and an 18V compact lithium-ion battery in only 15 minutes. Makita also offers a Rapid Automotive Charger for 18V LXT and 18V compact lithium-ion batteries that plugs into 12V DC sockets equipped in most automobiles and trucks for added mobility. Makita's growing line of LXT cordless tool solutions features a wide range of industrial-quality power tools, including driver-drills, impact drivers, impact wrenches, saws, grinders, screwguns, rotary hammers, and more. The LXT Series also offers a jobsite radio, rechargeable flashlights, and several different combo kits.

3 out of 5 stars so-so   November 18, 2009
Dusty (Princeton, nj United States)
Cute drill- nice and light, good power & ergo.. However, the 18v, 1.5ah battery doesn't do as much work as a 14.4v, 2ah battery and the plastic battery retention foot may crack if dropped { 3ft! }. Bulky charger, also. The kit w/ the impact driver is actually hard to pack. Maybe I should have purchased the pro model, but I didn't want the weight penalty.


1 out of 5 stars Great drill but worthless with the included batteries   November 4, 2009

The BL-1815 batteries that come with this drill fail often and are expensive to replace. Check out the reviews here on Amazon on the battery.


2 out of 5 stars Good size/power; bad chuck.   October 31, 2009

I bought this set to use in a kitchen replacement project. I first read all the Amazon reviews and determined that I wouldn't leave the batteries on the charger for longer than 30 minutes, so in my brief ownership time the batteries have been fine.

PROS:
Excellent torque
Battery recharge really does take 15 minutes.... I LOVE this.
LED light is a must-have once you use it.
Compact size really helps with tight spaces.
Kit with 2 batteries and charger is good value.

CONS:
No driver bit included.... what a weird place to cut corners.
The chuck became unusable (see below).

As noted above I was relying on this driver/drill for a big project. When I first started using it I thought the chuck was stiff when installing/removing a bit. Over a 2-day period of use (one full battery charge) it became unusable. Now I'm a big guy and I've used keyless chucks for many years without trouble, and this was a real first.....I couldn't get the check open. I finally resorted to holding the chuck with big Channel-lock pliers and running the driver in reverse to loosen the chuck. This can't be good. I've tried oiling the inner working of the chuck, but this is just unacceptable quality control.

Before buying I researched cordless drills. Consumer reports rated the new Makita very highly and they were right! It's everything you could want. It's light, powerful, quality biult and the batteries are phenomenal. I used it a full day and couldn't run the battery down. It quick charges and i'ts new design is cool.
