About This Product

Do more with less. The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless Impact Driver (model XDT15R1B) 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 XDT15R1B 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) it is an ultra-compact fastening solution with superior comfort and handling.

    Does Makita have any impact drivers that are NOT made in china? Any that are made in let's say USA, Taiwan, Lesotho, etc.

        How well does this impact run 1/4" blue tapcons into concrete? Does it struggle to thread them in? Thinking about switching from a dewalt XR impact to this one and 1/4" tapcons is the most stress I put on my impacts.

                  Thank you for your question. The XDT15R1B can be used on a wide variety of automotive jobs. Makita Impact Wrenches start around 170 ft.lbs of torque, while the XDT15R1B 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless Impact Driver Kit (2.0Ah) has 103 ft.lbs. An impact wrench is the better tool for the job. Always ensure your are following the lug nut manufacturers guidelines.

                    I like this little impact because it has enough punch to take care of small projects around the house. It's also takes the same size batteries as the first generation batteries of Makita tools. I like the new style of batteries to. unlike Milwaukee if you buy a small tool like this you have to buy a whole separate charger and hold it from battery if you own some of their bigger battery operated tools. Which yes I have both. this is a great little impact this is my second one someone had walked off with my other one so I went back and bought a second
