With the new 18V LXT Sub-Compact, Makita has created another new class in cordless with the most compact and lightest weight tools in the category \u2013 and they carry a new black trade dress to mark this new innovation and to distinguish them from similarly-sized Makita 12-volt tools.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all part of Makita&#8217;s expanding 18V LXT system. With over 150 solutions, LXT is the world&#8217;s largest cordless tool system powered by 18-volt lithium-ion slide-style batteries. <\/p>\n<p><b>Do More with Less in One Battery Platform<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The new 18V Sub-Compact driver-drill and impact driver are a welcome solution to contractors managing both 12-volt and 18-volt battery platforms, or for anyone seeking less bulk and weight in cordless tools for drilling, driving and fastening. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Research on commercial and residential job sites showed us that many contractors own both 12-volt and 18-volt tools, and if a job requires the power of a 12-volt tool then they&#8217;ll definitely reach for the most compact tool first,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Carlos Quintana, Sr.<\/span> Product Manager, Cordless, Makita USA. &#8220;18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless tools give contractors the compact size of a 12-volt tool while remaining in the 18-volt battery platform, and they deliver the performance to cover most applications on the job site. The expansive breadth-of-line of the Makita LXT System means an 18-volt battery from any LXT tool will power the 18-volt Sub-Compact driver-drill and impact driver.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Purpose-Built Brushless Motors<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Both tools feature brushless motors purpose-built for the product and related applications, combining power and efficiency in a more compact size. Makita brushless motors are engineered for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. <\/p>\n<p><b>18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless \u00bd&#8221; Driver-Drill (XFD11ZB)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>At only 6-3\/8 in. and 2.8 lbs. (with 2.0Ah battery) the 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Driver-Drill offers superior comfort and handling, and is built for a broad range of applications. For users running drill bits, spade bits, and fastening bits \u2013 or for electricians running the commonly-used 1-3\/8&#8243; hole saw \u2013 the XFD11ZB is a more compact solution for these widely-used applications. The XFD11ZB has a mechanical variable 2-speed transmission (0-500 &amp; 0-1,700 RPM) and dual L.E.D. lights to illuminate the work area. <\/p>\n<p><b>18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Impact Driver (XDT15ZB)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;screw cam-out&#8221; and &#8220;cross threading&#8221; 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 2.0Ah battery) it is an ultra-compact fastening solution with superior comfort and handling.<\/p>\n<p><b>Specifications<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The 18V Sub-Compact Driver-Drill and Impact Driver available as a tool-only and also in a combo kit (CX200RB) that includes two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 2.0Ah batteries, Rapid Optimum Charger, and tool bag.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Makita\u00ae<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Makita\u00ae is a worldwide manufacturer of industrial quality power tools and outdoor power equipment, and offers a wide range of industrial accessories.
