I've been considering buying a new drill and came across the Makita XDT19. Does anyone have any experience with it or know anything about its features?
Makita XDT19 Features?

Yeah, it's pretty great! I bought one a few months ago and have been using it for various projects around the house. It's lightweight and has a powerful brushless motor.
I've used the Makita XDT19Z model, which doesn't come with a battery. But you can find a good battery deal at Overview of the Makita XDT19 Drill. The drill itself is very efficient, especially with its 4-speed system. And the clutch settings are great for precision work.
Thanks, @spencerfitch! That sounds impressive. What about the chuck size? I need something that can handle bigger bits.
It's got a 1/4-inch chuck size, which should be suitable for most applications.
Just a quick tip, if you're considering this drill, make sure to get an extended battery pack for longer work sessions. Trust me, you won't regret it!
Good point, @IconistSF! The battery life can be a factor depending on the job's duration.
