Overview
An 18V compact drill driver from Makita, sold as a bare tool. At 2.6 pounds and a 1900 RPM no-load speed, it fits Makita's LXT battery platform for general drilling and driving tasks.
The Z at the end of Makita's model naming marks this as a bare tool, sold without a battery or charger, which lines up with the light 2.6 pound listed weight for the drill body on its own.
- 18 volt LXT platform
- 1900 RPM no-load speed
- 2.6 pounds bare tool weight
- Sold as bare tool, no battery included
Who it's for
Existing Makita 18V LXT owners adding or replacing a compact drill driver who already have a battery and charger and don't want to pay for another set.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Bare tool (Z) costs less for existing 18V owners
- Light at 2.6 pounds for extended one-handed use
- 1900 RPM suits general drilling and driving tasks
- No battery or charger included in this listing
- Not marketed as a hammer drill for masonry work
Performance notes
A 1900 RPM no-load speed at 18V puts this in compact drill driver territory, built for general drilling and driving rather than heavy hammer work, and the 17.22 amp figure listed likely reflects a peak draw rather than continuous current.
