Our take on the Makita 18V LXT Lithium‑Ion Sub‑Compact Brushless Cordless 1/2" Driver‑Drill Kit (1.5Ah)

The Makita XFD15SY1B is a sub-compact 18V brushless driver-drill built to cut weight without dropping to a lower voltage platform. It measures 5-7/8 inches long and weighs 2.9 lbs with the included 1.5Ah battery, so it handles overhead and cabinet work more easily than full-size 18V drills. A two-speed transmission runs 0-500 and 0-1,700 RPM, and dual LEDs light the work area. It suits homeowners and trade users already on Makita's 18V LXT batteries who want a light second drill; against compact 12V drills it trades some size advantage for full 18V compatibility, and against full-size 18V drills it gives up torque and runtime.

Pros
  • Short 5-7/8-inch body fits between studs and inside cabinets

  • Dual LEDs light the work area
Cons
  • 1.5Ah battery gives limited runtime under heavy use

About the Makita 18V LXT Lithium‑Ion Sub‑Compact Brushless Cordless 1/2" Driver‑Drill Kit (1.5Ah)

The Makita 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Driver-Drill Kit (XFD15SY1B) is a cordless 1/2" driver-drill. It offers the size and weight of lower-voltage tools with the power and compatibility of the 18V LXT system. It is 5-7/8" long and weighs 2.9 lbs. with the battery, which suits work in tight spaces.

The brushless motor delivers 350 in.lbs. of max torque. It is electronically controlled to match torque and speed to the job and to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge. Without carbon brushes, the motor runs cooler and more efficiently. A mechanical 2-speed transmission covers a range of drilling and fastening work, and an electric brake is built in.

The tool has a metal jampot design and a 1/2" keyless chuck for fast bit changes. The handle has a rubberized soft grip, and dual LED lights illuminate the work area. Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) uses integrated seals to channel away dust and water. Star Protection Computer Controls let the tool and battery exchange data to guard against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. The tool also works with Makita 18V LXT batteries marked with the star symbol.

Questions and answers

How is this different from a full-size 18V drill?
It is shorter and lighter, at 5-7/8 inches and 2.9 lbs with battery, and uses the same 18V LXT batteries. It gives up torque and runtime to full-size drills, so it is best for lighter drilling and driving.
Does it use the same batteries as other Makita 18V tools?
Yes. It runs on Makita 18V LXT slide-style batteries, so it shares packs with the rest of the LXT lineup. The kit includes one 1.5Ah compact battery.
What comes in the kit?
The kit includes the driver-drill, one 18V LXT 1.5Ah battery, a charger and a tool bag.
Is it good for driving screws into wood?
Yes for typical assembly and deck screws. The 0-1,700 RPM high range and clutch handle most driving, but very long or large screws in hard wood may want a full-size drill.
Does it have a light?
Yes, it has dual LEDs that illuminate the work area.
Is it worth it over a 12V sub-compact drill?
If you already own Makita 18V batteries, this keeps you on one platform with more power than most 12V drills. If you want the smallest and lightest tool, a 12V model is smaller.
Where is the Makita 18V LXT Lithium‑Ion Sub‑Compact Brushless Cordless 1/2" Driver‑Drill Kit (1.5Ah) cheapest?
