Make more with less. The Makita XFD13 bare tool 18V LXT lithium-ion brushless cordless drill/driver is an ultra-lightweight tool for drilling and driving that weighs less than other drill/driver tools. As part of a new class of small tools, this 18V driver-drill has the size and weight of smaller tools, but with the power and compatibility of 18-volt tools. Brushless motor: The XFD13 has two speed settings (0-500 and 0-1,900 RPM) and two LED lights to light up the work area. At just 6-5/8″ and 3.8 lb (with battery, sold separately), it is very comfortable and easy to use. Users can expect 440 in-lb of torque from the XFD13 drill. If you have a Makita 18V LXT tool, you can use the battery from that tool to power the 18V sub-compact driver-drill, because the LXT tool has a wide range of tools. The following are some battery models that will work with this device. BL1815, BL1815N, BL1820, BL1830, BL1840, and BL1850 are the BL1815s (sold separately).
It doesn’t hold drill bits like the old brushed drill that caught fire. I’m going to try to change the chucks. At full power sometimes it will just stop. You have to let go of the trigger again and try again. Rare and you can’t make it again. When the variable speed is at a low speed, it’s not as easy to control as a brushed motor. No, I wouldn’t buy this again. I’d try something else. The cheaper chuck alone isn’t enough for me to make this a deal.
23July2. I don’t like this drill any more. On the old one, I was able to get the Jacobson chuck off with ease. I can’t get the crappy chuck off this drill to replace it. I now notice that the blue green plastic is a different color and isn’t as strong as before. I also see that on other Makitas, they have to add metal to it where they made it by injection molding it (Spiral saw same plastic). Still doesn’t move when you put too much torque on it. It’s hard to make a copy of it, but you can do it several times with your hands. The light also shines too far to the left and right for no reason and is right in your eyes if you’re at a 90-degree angle to it.
