Review on Makita XPH12Z Lithium Ion Brushless Driver Drill by Edward Perez

Getting started. Of all the Makita drills, this one has more torque and speed than other compact LXT models. I've done a TON of drill research. I must have spent weeks searching the internet and comparing their price to value etc. This one surpassed them all. When I chose Makita, it was the definition of the model. If you're looking at a range of brushless compacts, this is for you. You get more speed, more torque in one package. The extra battery is really good and the fast charging is amazing. It's a contractor class, I figured if I bought it I'd buy it once. Yes, it's more expensive than other models, but it's worth it. The battery capacity is fine for me, but you can always buy a bigger battery later. I like the small ones because they reduce weight and hand fatigue. Easy enough to replace and charge. PS: I know it sounds silly, but read the quick charger instructions. You can change the ringtone to play music when it finishes charging lol.
