Overview

The Makita XDT18ZB 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Impact Driver blends compact size with pro-level performance in a tool-only package. At just 5-1/4 inches long and about 2.6 pounds with a battery, it fits in tight spots and helps reduce user fatigue during longer tasks.

Equipped with a efficient brushless motor and two speed settings, this driver delivers strong fastening power with precise control. It offers up to 1,240 in-lbs of max torque, and two bright L.E.D. lights illuminate the work area for better visibility. Assist Mode (A-mode) guides you from start to finish, driving at low speed until tightening begins to reduce screw cam-out and cross-threading when working with longer fasteners.

As part of Makita's expansive 18V LXT System, the tool can communicate with compatible batteries through Star Protection Computer Controls to monitor conditions in real time, helping protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. This tool is designed for flexibility and reliability in a cordless environment, and it is sold as a bare tool (battery and charger sold separately).

Key features

  • Compact and ergonomic at only 5-1/4 inches
  • Weighs 2.6 lbs with battery for reduced operator fatigue
  • Ideal for working in tight spaces
  • Variable speed 0-1,300/0-3,000 RPM and 0-2,000/0-4,100 IPM

Reliability and system compatibility

Designed for the Makita 18V LXT ecosystem, Star Protection monitors tool and battery data in real time to help optimize performance and safeguard against common issues during use.

Note: This listing is for the bare tool only; battery and charger are sold separately. This approach keeps setup flexible for users who already own Makita’s 18V LXT lineup.
