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.

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.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • 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
Cons
  • No battery or charger included in this listing

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.
