Makita drills

Makita drills make great Christmas gift ideas for the tool-lovers on your list. Even someone who has an older cordless drill would be happy with a spiffy new 18V Li-Ion drill like this, with its light weight, high power, and super-fast battery recharging.

Experience the power and reduced weight of the new lithium-ion technology, without the high cost, with the Makita BDF452HW 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Driver Drill Kit. Lithium-ion cordless tools provide more power with less weight. This cordless drill-driver is a more compact, lighter-weight version of the LXT 18 volt tool. It has a 1.5 amp hr battery, which is half the size of the LXT 3.0 Amp hr batteries. This is not a light-duty tool by any means; it kicks butt in the 18-volt category. It boasts 450 in./lbs. of torque! You can even use the longer run time 18-volt LXT 3.0 Amp-hr batteries in this tool (the higher the amp hr rating, the longer the battery will last before it needs to be recharged).

Makita LCT300W 18v compact lithium ion 3pc cordless combo

Right at the top of your Christmas gift ideas list should be the Makita LCT300W 18v compact lithium ion 3pc cordless combo. This kit includes not only the standard 18V cordless drill-driver, but an impact driver (a tool you will not want to be without once you've tried it) and a heavy-duty flashlight, another item which is a lot more useful than you might think. I use mine for checking for bears before I go out in the garden at night!
