About This Product

The 18V LXT Brushless ½" Driver-Drill (XFD14Z, tool only) is an ideal premium drilling and driving solution. The XFD14Z delivers 1,250 in.lbs. of Max Torque. It has a 2-speed transmission (0-550 and 0-2,100 RPM) for a wide range of drilling and fastening applications. The all-metal ½" self-ratcheting chuck provides improved bit gripping strength and durability. It weighs 5.7 lbs. with battery yet is more compact than previous models. It's part of Makita's expanding 18V LXT System, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

              Does this have a mechanical clutch, or the kind that stops the motor when the desired torque is reached?
              ByJun 13, 2023
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Thank you for your question. This tool has two modes. Drilling mode (rotation only) and a Screwdriving mode (rotation with clutch). The fastening torque can be adjusted in 21 levels by turning the adjusting ring. You can get the minimum fastening torque at 1 and maximum torque at 21. Release the switch trigger as soon as the clutch cuts in.

                Is the chuck supposed to make a ratcheting/clicking sound when tightend fully?

                Answer This Question

                yes it is going to do that just to let you know its tight

                By|May 3, 2023

                  The chuck on your drill is often referred to as a “ratcheting chuck”, and it has been designed to click (or “ratchet”) as you tighten it. If you have issues with the performance of your Makita drill, you can contact the Makita Call Center at (800)4-MAKITA for information on a Service Center in your region.

                    The transmission. Stripped out after drilling 3 holes with a one inch auger bit. They are left for you.

                    Broke within a couple months
                    This drill broke on me within a couple months. It got stuck in reverse and 1st gear broke. I researched and tried to find Makita’s most powerful 18v drill. This one seemed to be the one so I spent the extra money. Long story short I switched to a Milwaukee drill. More power and reliability, and it’s even smaller.
