Our take on the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Quick-Shift

The Makita 18V LXT Brushless Quick-Shift is a cordless impact driver with a brushless motor, a 4-stage power selection and a quick-shift mode that cuts speed and impact once a fastener seats. It runs on Makita's 18V LXT battery platform, and the kit ships with a 5.0Ah pack. It suits drivers who want controlled fastening on trim, decking and cabinet work without over-driving screws. Against one-speed impact drivers it offers more control; against compact 12V drivers it is heavier and bulkier. Owners rate the brushless motor and battery life, and some find the mode selector fiddly and the tool loud.

Questions and answers

What does quick-shift mode do?
It reduces speed and impact as a fastener seats, so screws stop before stripping the head or splitting the wood. It is meant for light fastening, not heavy driving.
Is it worth it over a one-speed impact driver?
If you drive finish screws or work with mixed materials, the four-stage control and quick-shift mode give more precision than a single-speed driver. For rough framing only, a simpler driver does the same job.
How does it compare with Makita's compact impact drivers?
It is larger and heavier but offers more control settings and longer runtime with the 5.0Ah pack. The compact models suit overhead and tight-space work better.
What comes in the kit?
The kit includes the impact driver, a 5.0Ah 18V LXT battery, a charger and a carrying case. Bare-tool versions ship without battery or charger.
Does it use the same batteries as other Makita 18V tools?
Yes. It runs on any Makita 18V LXT battery, so it shares packs with the rest of the LXT lineup.
Can it drive large lag screws?
It handles common structural and deck screws well. For very large lag bolts, use the top power stage and a pilot hole, or step up to a high-torque impact wrench.
Where is the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Quick-Shift cheapest?
At The Home Depot, for $429.00, as of our latest check.
