Do more with less. The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless Impact Driver (model XDT15R1B) is an ultra-compact fastening solution with significantly less weight. The 18-Volt Sub-Compact Impact Driver is part of a new class of compact, with the size and weight of lower voltage tools but with the performance, power and compatibility of 18-Volt. The expansive breadth-of-line of the Makita 18-Volt LXT Series means an 18-Volt battery from any LXT tool will power the 18-Volt Sub-Compact Impact Driver. The XDT15R1B has an efficient brushless motor with 2-speed settings and dual LED lights illuminate the work area. The innovative Assist Mode (A-mode) helps eliminate “screw cam-out” and “cross threading” by driving at low speed until tightening begins and is ideal for driving longer fasteners. At only 5-5/16 in. and 2.6 lbs. (with battery) it is an ultra-compact fastening solution with superior comfort and handling.

I was between several different impact drivers, but I ultimately chose this one due to its small size. It doesn’t have as much torque as some other drivers in its price range, but for me and the jobs I do it’s way more than enough. It’s easy to work in small spaces with this driver. It is very light and feels great in the hand. After doing several jobs with it the 2Ah battery still shows a full charge. This impact driver is easily my favorite tool!

I have to yet find anything negative about it, so far. It has plenty of power, it’s comfortable and it is really compact.

Overall I am not enamored with this impact driver. For trim and lighter duty framing work it is perfect: light, fast, easy to handle. When I move to a bigger fastener like a ledgerlok, timberlok, or headlok, I find it underpowered and the 2ah runtime insufficient. The modes seem useless too.
Lesley Jenkins (verified owner) –
Really like the power is such a small package. Great for hard to reach places.
Karli Farrell (verified owner) –
I like multi speed.

Great product, Makita has the best torch that I have found in an impact. This unit is tiny with lost of power and works great on my side by side and makes easy work on most tasks. Would definitely recommend if your needing a sub compact unit.

powerful, yet delicate for lighter jobs; very good versatility. The size makes it comfortable and the size enables access into tighter places. Options are also excellent, added to more than expected battery power. This is a tool for the first time homeowner or an experienced craftsman. Makita did right with this combo.
