 As one of the pioneers driving the cordless tool revolution, Makita changed the game with its breakthrough 18-Volt 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 18-volt compact lithium-ion for cordless power in a more compact size. Makita's 18-volt lithium-ion batteries and ENERGY-STAR rated Optimum Charging System provide several benefits over old battery technology. When compared to traditional 18-volt NiCd batteries, Makita's 18-volt 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 18-volt lithium-ion battery delivers 2,000 cycles--2.5 times more than NiCd. 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 18-volt LXT lithium-ion battery in just 30 minutes, and an 18-volt compact lithium-ion battery in only 15 minutes. Makita also offers a Rapid Automotive Charger for 18-volt LXT and 18-volt compact lithium-ion batteries that plugs into 12-volt 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.  About Makita

 Outstanding Drill and Batteries January 17, 2009
Forest Majors (Hadlyme Connecticut)

One of the best portable power tools that I have purchased. I required a small hammer drill with enough power to drive cement screws into a well seasoned fireplace from the inside of the chimney. Not only did this Drill perform well inside this small space it performed better than my other more industrial size hammer drill. Secondly, the lithium-Ion batteries hold a charge forever. Very Impressive - highly recommended.

The keyless chuck has beem improved remarkably from the previous drill. The drill is lightweight, smaller batteries which recharge quickly. Overall very satisfied with this drill.

I was using a 12V DeWalt for years and I even had two batteries rebuilt (not a good solution) before I considered this light weight Drill. This drill has plenty of power with very little wieght. Just built an 8 X 10 deck with this tool and drilled a few pieces of slate as well. The light is welcomed as the job continued into dusk. Recharge is quick, but the fan is noisy. I am a very happy camper! No Complaints

"BEST" drill you can buy!
I got my first Makita cordless drill form my brother in 1990. It was well worn and it wasn't running well. I immediately took it apart and cleaned it, finding the battery terminals were rusty, but everything else was in good shape. That 9 volt drill lasted me 18 years, even after being dropped many more times.
I did a lot of research before buying the my first new Makita. I was surprised that it is lighter and easier to handle than my older 9 volt version. And, the batteries charge up very fast and better yet, they hold a charge for months (not just days). And, they have lived up to their ratings (Consumer Reports). That little LED light is helpful at times, but I also liked the rubberized grip and the large chuck grips. Easy to use with heavy gloves or bare hands. It sits up nicely on the work bench, too.
I've bought many other cheaper drills and always been disappointed (DeWalt, Kawisaki, Black & Decker, Riobi, and even Craftsman). Mostly I had problems with the batteries. But, also with the case - many can't survive even a small drop. They should all be able to survive a fall from a 6' ladder, if not from a roof top. It happens, a lot in my business.
This drill is tight, accurate, nicely balanced, and it has a flat clip that slips over your belt or on a your pocket, so it's easy to hang on to. It's hard working from a ladder or installing things by yourself, so get the best tools for the job. I don't know of a better cordless drill product.
The voltage isn't as important as the Lithium batteries!
If any one ever asks, this is the only brand I would feel comfortable recommending.
