Our take on the Makita XDT11SY LXT Cordless Brushed Impact Driver Kit

The Makita XDT11SY is an 18V LXT impact driver kit built around a compact 5-3/8 inch body. It delivers 1,460 in-lb of torque, 0-2,900 rpm and 0-3,500 ipm, with a 1/4 inch hex drive and an all-metal gear housing. It is a brushed motor tool, so it is simpler and less efficient than Makita's brushless drivers, and the included 1.5 Ah battery is a small pack best suited to light and medium fastening. It fits homeowners and trade users already on the LXT battery platform who want a short, light driver for cabinet work, decking and general assembly.

What reviewers say

Owners of Makita's compact 18V impact drivers generally praise the short body, light weight and reliable fastening power for home and light trade work. The common complaints are runtime from small batteries and the brushed motor falling behind newer brushless models.

What people mention
  • Size and weightPraisedOwners like the compact 5-3/8 inch body and light weight for overhead and tight-space work.
  • TorquePraisedUsers say 1,460 in-lb drives screws and lag bolts without bogging down.
  • Battery runtimeCriticisedThe 1.5 Ah pack runs down quickly on sustained fastening, so owners often buy larger batteries.
  • Motor typeMixedThe brushed motor is seen as reliable but behind brushless drivers in efficiency and life.
  • BuildPraisedThe all-metal gear housing is described as holding up on job sites.

Questions and answers

Is this impact driver brushless?
No. The XDT11SY uses a brushed motor. Makita's brushless drivers are more efficient and run longer per charge, but this one is simpler and less costly.
What battery does it use?
It runs on Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries and comes with a 1.5 Ah pack. Any LXT 18V battery fits, and larger packs give longer runtime.
What size bits does it take?
It has a 1/4 inch hex drive, the standard size for impact driver bits and bit holders.
Can it drive lag bolts and deck screws?
Yes, within reason. Its 1,460 in-lb of torque handles deck screws and smaller lag bolts; very large lags are better left to a high-torque impact wrench.
What comes in the kit?
The kit includes the impact driver, a 1.5 Ah 18V LXT battery, a charger and a carrying case.
Does it have speed settings?
It has a variable-speed trigger, not selectable speed modes. Speed ranges from 0-2,900 rpm and 0-3,500 ipm.
