About This Product

Do more with less. The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless Impact Driver (model XDT15ZB, tool only, battery sold separately) is an ultra-compact fastening solution with significantly less weight. The 18-Volt Sub-Compact Impact Driver is part of a new class of compact, with the size and weight of lower voltage tools but with the performance, power and compatibility of 18-Volt. The expansive breadth-of-line of the Makita 18-Volt LXT Series means an 18-Volt battery from any LXT tool will power the 18-Volt Sub-Compact Impact Driver. The XDT15ZB has an efficient brushless motor with 2-speed settings and dual LED lights illuminate the work area. The innovative Assist Mode (A-mode) helps eliminate screw cam-out and cross threading by driving at low speed until tightening begins and is ideal for driving longer fasteners. At only 5-5/16 in. and 2.6 lbs. (with battery, sold separately) it is an ultra-compact fastening solution with superior comfort and handling. It's part of Makita's expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, the world's largest cordless tool line-up powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

                Answer This Question

                I have no concrete bits for an impact drill driver. I don't know if they even make them.

                Thank you for your question. The XDT15ZB is an impact driver and excels at driving screws and other fasteners. It is not ideal for drilling concrete.

                    Bought two of these, one came dirtier than the previous one.
                    Do they all come as dirty as mine? I bought two of them and they both came dirty, looks used.

                      quickly became one of my favorite tools
                      I am a production trim carpenter, i have been using this router for round overs, morticing in strikes, i cut grooves in pocket doors, and used it to chamfer mdf to match v groove paneling. This this has plenty of power, runs smooth, and runs for a long time. I plan on buying a few more so i can leave them set up with different bits

                        great impact driver
                        This is the perfect impact for any job. I though i would lose power because it is so small but that was not the case at all. It works great and is perfect for getting into tight spaces.

                          I have been a fan of Makita tools for 30 years and this little impact driver stands up to the task. Lots of power and it's lightweight enough it won't wear you out. Love the belt hook as well.
