Our take on the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-ion Brushless Cordless Driver Kit

This is Makita's 18V LXT brushless impact driver kit, a compact driver built for fastening rather than lug nuts: 1,500 in.lbs. of torque, a 1/4-inch hex chuck and a 5-inch body that weighs 3.3 lbs with the battery. The brushless motor and two 5.0Ah batteries put it in the same class as DeWalt's and Milwaukee's 18V impact drivers, with the usual Makita trade-off of a light, short body against a bare-tool price that often runs higher. It suits tradespeople and serious DIYers already on the LXT battery platform who want one driver for decking, framing and cabinet work.

Pros
  • 1,500 in.lbs. of torque handles long screws and lag bolts
  • Brushless motor runs cooler and lasts longer than brushed
  • Short 5-inch body and 3.3 lbs reach tight spots with less fatigue
  • Two 5.0Ah batteries cover a full day of mixed driving
  • Four-speed control with assist modes for precise work
Cons
  • 1/4-inch hex chuck, not a square drive, so no socket work
  • Heavier than 12V or sub-compact drivers for overhead jobs
  • Bare tool alone costs more than many rival drivers
  • Kit adds bulk and cost if you already own LXT batteries

What reviewers say

Owners rate this driver highly for its power-to-size ratio and battery life, and many call it their most-used tool. Complaints center on the price of the bare tool and on the kit's weight for long overhead work.

What people mention

  • SizePraisedThe short body fits into tight spaces where larger drivers will not.
  • Battery lifePraisedUsers report the 5.0Ah packs last through a full day of mixed work.
  • WeightMixedLight for its class, but some find it tiring for long overhead sessions.

Questions and answers

Is this an impact driver or an impact wrench?
It is an impact driver with a 1/4-inch hex chuck, made for driving screws and bits. It cannot take sockets for lug nuts without an adapter.
How does it compare with the previous LXT impact driver?
The brushless motor adds torque and runtime over older brushed LXT drivers and needs less maintenance. The body is also shorter and lighter than earlier models.
What comes in the kit?
Two 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries, a charger and a carrying case. The bare tool is also sold separately.
Can it run on other Makita 18V LXT batteries?
Yes. It works with any 18V LXT pack, though smaller packs cut runtime and larger ones add weight.
Is it good for decking and framing?
Yes. The torque and speed settings handle deck screws and structural fasteners well. For heavy lag bolts, a dedicated impact wrench is the better tool.
How loud is it?
It is loud like most impact drivers, especially at full speed. Hearing protection is sensible for sustained use.
Where is the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-ion Brushless Cordless Driver Kit cheapest?
At The Home Depot, for $199.00, as of our latest check.
