Makita XPH16Z 18V LXT Brushless Cordless 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill

As a Carpenter & Joiner I absolutely need cordless drills in my kit . So when I looked into this one it made sense to purchase it . It’s powerful with various settings that can aid you for sinking screws into materials such as plaster boards . It also has a hammer setting for easy drilling of block work and brick .It also came with a side handle for those drilling jobs . Battery power lasts well under heavy use . It’s a breeze to use for screwing jobs and can easily drive large screws into wood without I pilot hole . And is just as powerful on retraction of the screws too . Light weight and compact to use . And I would urge any one who needs an all around drill to definitely look into this one . Highly recommended
