Makita XAD01 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless 3/8" Angle Drill Kit (3.0Ah)

Just what I was looking for! Wish there was an available larger size than available for bigger bits, but that might burn it out faster? But really do like it, serves purpose well!

I like the ergonomics design,versatile I can change quickly a blades. Quality motor it's quiet and faster.

I've tried many different brands angle drills and i know this one is the most powerful and it does very good job. BUT!!! They don't last. I'm a professional technician and i use it a lot, it never lasts more than i year. The first two i repaired (under warranty), and they were good for 2 months more. Now i just buy a new one every time. I'll keep using them, because i think it's the best one for the job, but you have to keep in mind that you're not gonna have it forever.

I love how compact the drill head is perfect for make hole saw cutouts in electrical panels.The handle that come with it makes it stable.

I have the Makita 18V cordless drills, impact drivers and hammer drill so naturally I went to Makita for the angle drill so I can share batteries and I like the brand. It's a nice drill and very compact. It only has one speed range. Many others have commented on the great torque - maybe it's just me but mine is just not very powerful compared to my other Makita drills. I tried drilling a 1" hole in pine with a new, sharp flat head bit - wouldn't do it. Not even close. I know this is a specialty tool but I'm disappointed with the lack of power.

Very nice tool , But make sure you remove the battery while installing a brill bit . As the key almost smashed my finger , I must of hit the long button , WOW . That sucked . As the drill key comes around fast . And this drill has a lot of power . Took three weeks for my finger to get better .

As an angle drill, it is nice made and very powerful. It is perfect for drilling where space is limited. I bought it for house renovation and it does a good job.The only thing which is not well designed is the battery position is outstanding. This makes things difficult when drilling or cutting hole (with holesaw) on a large panel, as the battery can touch the panel first before completing the drilling.

Purposely bought key chuck because narrower space required than keyless version. Was able to get into narrow area perfectly to drill out broken bolt in engine block. Light on tool is great feature.
