Makita 18V LXT Sub-Compact Cordless Brushless 1/4-in. Hex Impact Driver (Tool Only) – XDT18ZB

Engineered for trade professionals who need industrial-strength fastening in an ultra-low profile frame, the Makita XDT18ZB 18V LXT® Sub-Compact Cordless Impact Driver offers exceptional ergonomics and maneuverability. Measuring a remarkably short 5-1/4 inches in length and weighing a mere 2.0 lbs (bare tool), this specialized sub-compact impact driver drastically minimizes arm strain during repetitive overhead work or fastening inside tight cabinets. Powered by a high-efficiency Makita-built brushless motor, it pushes out up to 1,240 in-lbs of maximum fastening torque, driving up to 50% longer runtime per charge compared to traditional brushed alternatives.

The XDT18ZB features a smart two-speed electronic power selection mechanism coupled with Makita’s innovative Assist Mode (A-Mode). When activated, A-Mode drives at a controlled, lower speed until tightening actually begins, successfully eliminating annoying screw cam-out and cross-threading errors during delicate hardware installations. Built for professional precision, its heavy-duty ball-bearing drive mechanism minimizes bit wobble for true accuracy, while the 1/4-inch hex quick-change drive allows for one-handed bit swapping. Crisp workspace illumination is managed by dual built-in LED work lights equipped with preglow and afterglow functions.
