18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Tools, Nos. XFD11ZB and XDT15ZB

The Makita 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless 1/2” Driver-Drill, No. XFD11ZB, and 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Impact Driver, No. XDT15ZB, feature brushless motors that run contact-free and are engineered for up to 50 percent longer run-time, according to the company. The XFD11ZB Driver-Drill measures 6-3/8” and weighs 2.8 lbs (with 2.0Ah battery). For users running drill bits, spade bits, and fastening bits, the XFD11ZB is a more compact solution for these widespread applications. The XFD11ZB has a mechanical variable two-speed transmission (0-500 rpm and 0-1,700 rpm) and dual LEDs to illuminate the work area. The 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Impact Driver has two speed settings and 1,240 in/lbs of max torque for a full range of fastening applications. The new 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. The XDT15ZB Impact Driver measures 5-5/16” and weights 2.6 lbs (with 2.0Ah battery).
