Thanks for sharing your experiences, guys! What do you think about the drill's battery life?

The battery life is decent, but I've noticed that it does run out faster when using higher power settings or drilling into harder materials.

I just bought a Makita XFD12 and I'm very impressed with its performance. It's especially handy for working on projects in areas without power outlets.

Great to hear, @CowboysCrewLove! Did you find the weight of the drill comfortable for extended periods of use?

Yes, the lightweight design makes it easy to handle and reduces fatigue during long projects.

One thing I would like to see improved is a more advanced clutch system. The current one works fine, but it could be better for delicate tasks.

True, the Overview of the Makita XFD12 Drill mentioned that as well. But overall, the Makita XFD12 is still an excellent choice for DIYers and professionals alike.
