Questions & Answers
will this drill work with BL 1830 batter

Is this a hammer drill
Thank you for your question on XFD15SY1B Sub‑Compact Brushless Cordless 1/2" Driver‑Drill Kit. No, this is not a hammer drill. This is a driver-drill designed for Capacity (wood) : 1-7/16", Capacity (steel) : 1/2" and not designed for masonry work. This drill does not have hammering as a feature. For this you may want to try the model XPH15.
Will this battery work with makita tire inflator
Thank you for your question. Yes, The Bl1840B will work with the Makita inflator.
I have this kit and desperately would like to add on a handle. Is that possible; what is the diameter of the area it would attach onto please? I am using steel drill bits to remove paint and rust.
Thank you for your question on the XFD10 18V LXT Lithium‑Ion Cordless 1/2" Driver‑Drill. Unfortunately, the XFD10 does not have side handle/grip for it.
With a masonry bit and the driver function, can this 5 into concrete?
Thank you for your question, but we will require more specific information in order to provide an answer. Call the Makita Call Center during business hours at (800)4-MAKITA, they’re based in Flowery, GA and are ready to help.
Is this drill compatible with the older BL1815?
Thank you for your question. The XFD15 LXT 1/2" driver drill is not compatible with the BL1815. Is it compatible with the following batteries: BL1815N / BL1820B / BL1830 / BL1830B / BL1840B / BL1850B / BL1860B
Is this drill compatible with the Makita BL1815N 18V 1.5Ah Lithium Ion Battery? Since it comes with only one battery, I'd like to purchase a second one of the battery it comes with. But it's hard to figure out exactly which model that is.

is the LXT the same as the XFD?
Thank you for your question. LXT refers to all tools, batteries, and chargers on our lithium-ion 18 volt system. XFD is part of the model number of the XFD15. The XFD15 is one of our LXT tools.
