Makita's pro-grade 18V brushless drill delivers contractor-level durability with ergonomics that tradespeople rave about. The LXT platform is massive, and Makita's build quality is legendary on job sites worldwide.
Makita is the sleeper pick that serious tradespeople swear by — especially for ergonomics and trigger responsiveness. If Milwaukee and DeWalt feel clunky to you, try a Makita and you'll understand the cult following.
“Makita is the way to go. Top reasons I prefer them are ergonomics, and how responsive they are to inputs. Makitas come on instantly, and stop on a dime. They're like a finely tuned race car, vs a lumbering, but powerful, land yacht.”
