Makita has released a new cordless tool called the 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless. The 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless is a light weight tool in the 18V category, providing contractors the size and handling of a 12-volt tool.
The Latest in a Series of Cordless Milestones
It’s all part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT system. With over 150 solutions, LXT is a cordless tool system powered by 18-volt lithium-ion slide-style batteries.
Do More with Less in One Battery Platform
The 18V Sub-Compact driver-drill and impact driver are a solution to contractors managing both 12-volt and 18-volt battery platforms, or for anyone seeking less weight in cordless tools for drilling, driving and fastening.
Purpose-Built Brushless Motors
Both tools feature brushless motors purpose-built for the product and related applications, combining power and efficiency in a compact size. Makita brushless motors are engineered for up to 50 percent longer run time.
18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless ½-inch Driver-Drill (XFD11ZB)
At only 6-3/8 inches and 2.8 pounds (with 2.0Ah battery) the 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Driver-Drill is built for a range of applications. For users running drill bits, spade bits, and fastening bits – or for electricians running the commonly-used 1-3/8-inch hole saw – the XFD11ZB is a solution for these applications. The XFD11ZB has a mechanical variable 2-speed transmission (0-500 & 0-1,700 RPM) and dual LED lights to illuminate the work area.
18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Impact Driver (XDT15ZB)
The 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Impact Driver has two speed settings and 1,240 in.lbs. of max torque for a range of fastening applications. The assist mode (A-mode) setting helps eliminate “screw cam-out” and “cross threading” by driving at low speed until tightening begins, and is ideal for driving longer fasteners. At 5-5/16 inches and 2.6 pounds (with 2.0Ah battery) it is a fastening solution with comfort and handling.
Specifications
The 18V Sub-Compact Driver-Drill and Impact Driver are available as a tool-only and also in a combo kit (CX200RB) that includes two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 2.0Ah batteries, Rapid Optimum Charger, and tool bag.
