Do more with less. The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless Impact Driver (model XDT15ZB, tool only, battery sold separately) 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 XDT15ZB 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, sold separately) it is an ultra-compact fastening solution with superior comfort and handling. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

Ideal size for smaller jobs. Plunger attachment is a must and works well

Batteries are impressive and easy to read and handle

this router works flawlessly. Battery lasts for a full day, plus, and charging time is quick enough that you only need the two that are supplied with the kit. In fact, I use the second battery for my Makita hand planner, and both work great.

Just like that old energizer battery commercial, this will last FOREVER. Even with the 2Ah battery. Seriously. It’s not the most powerful. Not even close, but thats not why you purchase a subcompact impact. You purchase it because it’s light, and versatile. I am however, incredibly amazed at how long the battery runs on this thing. I dare you to find a job where the 2Ah battery dies on you. Seriously. I double dog dare you. This is, by far, my favorite tool. Thank you Makita. (On a side note, i purchased an 18-V Ridgid brushless impact for my heavy duty jobs and it’s so amazing. It, with a battery, was cheaper and more powerful than any makita i could find so i went with it. Great duo). This makita however gets used so much more so it’s fantastic. I wish it had 3 lights and a quicker way of adding a bit but i guess you sacrifice extra features when you go for something subcompact. I’m ok with that. It does however have this amazing Auto feature for speed. Rather than 2-speed or 3 speed like my Ridgid, i prefer this auto feature. It speeds up as i need it. Very intuitive and i love it

this impact is perfect, light weight, there may be other manufactures that offer more torque, but they are heavier, bigger, and since I wear it most of the day, weight is a factor, I’ve tried all the others, and none compare to the amount of cycles these Makita batteries can do

I bought this unit as a replacement for an older, corded router. This router is compact, strong, and feels great in your hand.Another benefit of this kit is getting 2 5.0 batteries, that will work with all my other Makitas.Great products
