General drilling with a brushless Makita tool

Who this kit suits
This kit suits someone who wants a brushless 18V driver-drill for furniture, cabinets, pilot holes and general fastening, and who is comfortable starting with one battery. Makita rates it at 440 in-lbs of maximum torque and provides two mechanical speed ranges, from 0 to 500 and 0 to 1,900 rpm.
What comes in the box
Makita lists the XFD131 driver-drill, one BL1830B 18V LXT 3.0Ah battery, one DC18SD charger and a tool bag. Its 1/2 in keyless chuck supports general drilling, while the published drilling capacities are 1-1/2 in in wood and 1/2 in in steel. Compatible LXT batteries carry Makita's Star symbol.
Check these before buying
The kit includes one battery, so continuous work may require a second compatible pack while the first one charges. This model is a driver-drill without hammer action, making it a better match for wood, steel and fastening than for drilling anchors into concrete or brick.
