Our take on the 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Lithium-Ion 1/2" Cordless Driver Drill Kit

The Makita 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Driver-Drill Kit is a 1/2-inch cordless drill built to cut weight without dropping to a lower voltage platform. Its brushless motor runs two speed ranges, and the body is just 5.88 inches long, so it fits where full-size 18V drills won't. Dual LED lights cover the work area. It suits cabinet installers, electricians and homeowners who want a light drill that still shares Makita's 18V LXT batteries. Against full-size 18V drills it gives up some torque; against 12V sub-compacts it keeps one battery platform for the whole kit.

What reviewers say

Owners of Makita's sub-compact drill praise its light weight and short body for overhead and cabinet work, and like that it uses their existing 18V batteries. Criticism centers on lower power than full-size drills and on compact batteries running down quickly in sustained use.

What people mention
  • WeightPraisedOwners say it is easy to hold overhead and use one-handed for long stretches.
  • SizePraisedThe short body is repeatedly noted for fitting into cabinets and tight framing.
  • PowerCriticisedReviewers say it stalls sooner than full-size 18V drills on large bits and hard materials.
  • Battery lifeMixedThe 18V platform is liked, but the compact kit batteries run down quickly in continuous work.
  • LightingPraisedThe dual LEDs are described as useful in dim spaces under sinks and in cabinets.

Questions and answers

Is this drill strong enough for deck building?
It can drive screws and drill pilot holes, but it has less torque than Makita's full-size 18V drills. For long lag screws and large hole saws, a full-size drill is the better fit.
Does it use the same batteries as other Makita 18V tools?
Yes. It runs on Makita 18V LXT batteries, so it shares packs with the rest of the LXT line. Larger LXT packs fit and add runtime at the cost of weight.
Can it drill into concrete or brick?
No. It has no hammer mode, so it is for wood, metal and plastic. Masonry needs a hammer drill or rotary hammer.
What comes in the kit?
The kit includes the drill, two compact 18V LXT batteries, a charger and a carrying case. Bits and blades are not included.
How does it compare with a 12V sub-compact drill?
It is close in size and weight to 12V sub-compacts but runs on 18V LXT batteries. If you already own Makita 18V tools, it avoids adding a second battery platform.
Where is the 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Lithium-Ion 1/2" Cordless Driver Drill Kit cheapest?
At United Supply Corp., for $203.98, as of our latest check.
