Review: Makita muscle - This my fourth Makita 18v drill and I also own several other Makita 18v tools..... so I'm not sure I can add anything else. Torque to weight on all their drills is spot on, dependability, build quality, and the battery technology is in my opinion superior to the others. The only quark is that the LED light placement tends to blocked slightly and doesn't shine directly at the work area or target. I wish this had the hammer drive feature but I knew that when I purchased it. The next model has it and is a few more dollars. I had a budget and this fit it perfectly. I wish Makita would put the chuck from the higher model on this one that has a more course or rugged grip. The fine pattern to grab on this chuck is fine but seems to slip in the hand when tightening. A very very minor quark that I'm sure only bugs me. This is a fine product from Makita and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.
Review: Awesome tool! - This tool automatically detects when the drill bit gets caught. So instead of snapping your wrist it just stops. Now it only does that when necessary. Amazing torque!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this model equipped with a Yukiwa chuck?**
A: i dont know what a YUKIWA chuck is.  The chuck on there does what it is intended to do.

**Q: Is it brushless ?**
A: This drill is not brushless

**Q: I just received the drill, model number on drill xfd03.  shouldn't the model number be xfd03z?**
A: The 'z' suffix denotes that this is a bare-bones power tool (no battery, charger or case). Fear not, you have the correct tool.

**Q: Will it drill a hole in bricks?**
A: This is not a hammer drill so going through brick stone is tedious at best. Get the hammer drill feature to drill through brick or stone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best drill driver
*by V***6 on October 12, 2019*

Makita makes great products. I believe they are ahead of everyone else in the battery powered market. I also have the 1/4" driver which takes the same battery. The reason I gave it 4 stars for weight it is a little heavy. Batteries have a long run life.
