Makita® 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside. Review: Overall Good for Most Uses - So far the functionality of this product is good. It takes a little getting use to how it functions compared to corded versions. I was pleasantly surprised that its power is comparable to corded versions and the batteries appear to last quite awhile depending on how heavy the usage is. My only issue with it is that some drill bits slip in the chuck and get stuck in what you are trying to drill. However, I use it mostly for screws and drill bits with hexagonal shanks and other similar shanks. The chuck seems to have some difficulty with gripping cylindrical shanks. Review: Powerful Drill with great power - Nice sub compact light design. Gives plenty of power. Great for various projects. ## Features - Compact and ergonomic design at only 5-7/8" long - Weighs only 2.9 lbs. with battery for reduced operator fatigue (battery not included) - Ideal for working in tight spaces - Mechanical variable 2-speed transmission (0-500 & 0-1,700 RPM) for a wide range of drilling and fastening applications - Engineered with a metal jampot design for increased durability ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09BXZTGR1 | | Additional Features | Brushless Motor, Variable Speed, LED Light | | Amperage | 18 Amps | | Best Sellers Rank | #68,427 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #120 in Power Drill Drivers | | Brand Name | Makita | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (316) | | Drill Type | Basic Drill | | Drilling Capacity Metal | 0.5 Inches | | Drilling Capacity Wood | 0.5 Inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00088381733076 | | Included Components | Tool Only (battery and charger not included) | | Is Electric | Yes | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 6.5"L x 8.78"W x 8"H | | Item Type Name | Makita XFD15ZB 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless 1/2" Driver-Drill, Tool Only | | Item Weight | 31.75 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Makita | | Manufacturer Part Number | XFD15ZB | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 3-year limited warranty | | Material Type | Metal, Plastic | | Maximum Chuck Size | 0.5 Inches | | Maximum Power | 350 Watts | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 1700 RPM | | Maximum Torque | 350 Inch Pounds | | Model Number | XFD15ZB | | Number of Speeds | 2 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Speed | 1700 RPM | | Torque | 350 Inch Pounds | | UPC | 088381733076 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 18 Volts | ## Product Details - **Amperage:** 18 Amps - **Brand:** Makita - **Maximum Rotational Speed:** 1700 RPM - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Voltage:** 18 Volts ## Images ![Makita XFD15ZB 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless 1/2" Driver-Drill, Tool Only, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51kXb0vIimL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the battery interchangeable with the makita 18v brushed drill?** A: Yes all 18v does not matter brushed or brushless. **Q: does it have racheting chuck ?** A: Yes **Q: Maximum torque is?** A: 350 In.

Gives plenty of power. Great for various projects. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Kreg Screw Drill *by A***O on January 5, 2026* Compact and light but also has enough torque to draw kreg screws in tight. The clutch works well to ensure the screws are driven too deep. Must have for a trim carpenter who uses pocket screws a lot ## Frequently Bought Together - Makita XFD15ZB 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless 1/2" Driver-Drill, Tool Only, Black - Makita XDT18ZB 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless Impact Driver, Tool Only, Black - 2Packs Upgraded 5.0Ah 18V BL1850B with LED Replacement Lithium-ion Battery Compatible with Makita 18 Volt Battery for Compatible Makita 18V Lithium-Ion Cordless Power Tools --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/356585461-makita-xfd15zb-18v-lxt-lithium-ion-sub-compact-brushless-cordless](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/356585461-makita-xfd15zb-18v-lxt-lithium-ion-sub-compact-brushless-cordless) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
