Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.

Performance notes
At 3,200 RPM the XST01Z spins faster than most drills, typical of impact tools built for driving fasteners rather than boring holes. Cordless 18 volt tools trade some raw power for portability, and Makita's platform is generally regarded as one of the stronger 18V lineups for battery compatibility.
