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.
