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.

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.
