Makita XFD15SY1B 18V LXT Sub-Compact Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 1/2 in.Variable Speed Driver Drill Kit, 1.5AhThe 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Driver-Drill Kit (XFD15SY1B) is a drilling and driving solution with significantly less weight. The 18V Sub-Compact Driver-Drill offers the size and weight of lower voltage tools, but with the performance, power, and compatibility of 18-Volt. It has an efficient brushless motor with two speed settings and dual L.E.D. lights to illuminate the work area. At only 5-7/8 in. long, it is a compact drilling and driving solution with superior comfort and handling. Its part of Makitas expanding 18V LXT System, the worlds largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. 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.Compact and ergonomic design at only 5-7/8 in. longWeighs only 2.9 lbs. with battery for reduced operator fatigueIdeal for working in tight spacesMechanical variable 2-speed transmission (0-500 & 0-1,700 RPM) for a wide range of drilling, fastening and hammer drilling applicationsDual L.E.D. lights illuminate the work areaErgonomically designed handle with rubberized soft grip provides increased comfortBL Brushless Motor delivers 350 in.lbs. of Max TorqueEfficient BL Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per chargeBL Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL Motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer lifeThe electronically-controlled BL Brushless Motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the applicationConvenient 1/2 in. keyless chuck for fast and easy bit installation and removalElectric brake for maximum productivityExtreme Protection Technology (XPT) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditionsEquipped with Star Protection Computer Controls to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating3-year limited warranty on tool, battery and chargerOnly use genuine Makita batteries and chargersCalifornia residentssee Prop 65 WARNINGSDimensionsProduct Depth (in.)0.0 inProduct Height (in.)0.0 inProduct Width (in.)6.375 in
