Two-piece D31 motor for serviceability. All metal gear transmission (0 -400/0 - 1300 RPM). Shift Lock Drive instantly changes from "drill" to "driver". 2.6 Ah Ni-MH batteries for greater capacity and longer run time. Includes (2) 18V Ni-MH batteries, multi-voltage charger, and case.
Here comes power and efficiency in a great compact size. Before you even press the trigger, you'll love how this tool fits in your hand, how well-balanced it is. The rubberized grip gives you a sure, comfortable hold, even at odd angles. Performance is top-notch, thanks to dual ball bearings, precision balancing and a refined high-grade field magnet. We're really impressed by Makita's exclusive Shift Lock Drive. With a single touch, you shift quickly and easily "drill" to "driver" mode, locking out the clutch for superior drilling. And we love it when manufacturers include two batteries with their tools, because that means no down time. The charger handles multi-volt batteries, too, so it's good for a wide range. Maintenance is simple because the brushes are accessible. A great, hardworking drill/driver.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Fantastic drill/driver:
This drill/driver is fantastic! It has torque and power to spare, long battery life, easy and quick recharging, and great balance/feel for an 18V.

Great Tool!:
I replaced an older Porter Cable 12v NiCd drill with this Makita. Night and day difference. The torque on this unit is outrageous, it's light and it's made in the USA. Not a Home Depot trinket; this is a real tool.
Makita 18 Volt NiMH Drill:
Awesome replacement for my old cordless drill! Lots of torque and long battery life. Highly recommend it to others!
Makita drill kit:
I always buy Makita for quality. This drill is no exception. For a little over the cost of a couple of batteries, you get the whole kit. Great value, great drill.
