Makita 18V Cordless Impact Driver Kit - Sub-Compact Brushless Technology

The 18V LXT® Sub-Compact Brushless Impact Driver Kit (XDT18SY1B) is a lightweight fastening solution. Offering the size and weight of lower voltage tools, the 18V Sub-Compact Impact Driver delivers the performance, power, and compatibility of an 18-Volt tool. Equipped with an efficient brushless motor, this driver has two speed settings and dual L.E.D. lights that illuminate the work area. The innovative Assist Mode (A-mode) helps prevent "screw cam-out" and "cross threading" by starting at a low speed until tightening begins, making it perfect for driving longer fasteners. With a maximum torque of 1,240 in.lbs., this tool measures only 5-1/4 inches and weighs 2.6 lbs. (including a 2.0Ah battery), providing superior comfort and handling during use.

Part of the Makita 18V LXT System, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries, this driver is compatible with Makita® 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries that boast the fastest charge times in their categories, allowing for more time working and less time waiting for the battery to charge. To enhance tool performance and prolong battery life, Makita incorporated Star Protection Computer Controls™, a communication technology that enables real-time data exchange between the tool and battery to monitor conditions during use and protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. Additionally, the tool can be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol, which indicates the presence of Star Protection technology.

Compact and ergonomic, the driver's design measures 5-1/4 inches in length and weighs only 2.6 lbs. with the battery attached, reducing operator fatigue and making it ideal for use in tight spaces. With variable 2-speed settings (0-1,300/0-3,000 RPM & 0-2,000/0-4,100 IPM), this tool is suitable for a wide range of fastening applications. The Assist Mode (A-mode) feature further enhances usability by preventing "screw cam-out" and "cross threading" through low-speed driving until tightening initiates.
