Makita is one of, if not the largest manufacturer of power tools in the world with factories in Brazil, China, Romania, Dubai, Germany, the US, and the UK. The company was founded on 21st March 1915 as Makita Denski Seisakushoby Mosaburo Makita. The company's early days were selling and repairing light fixtures, motors and transformers. In 1935, they began to specialize in electric motors and even began to export them around the world. By 1938, the company had changed its name to Makita Electric Works. Do more with less. The Makita 18-Volt LXT® Lithium-Ion Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless Impact Driver (model XDT15ZB, tool only, battery sold separately) is an ultra-compact fastening solution with significantly less weight. The 18V Sub-Compact Impact Driver is part of a new class of compact, with the size and weight of lower voltage tools but with the performance, power and compatibility of 18-Volt. The expansive breadth-of-line of the Makita 18-Volt LXT® Series means an 18-Volt battery from any LXT® tool will power the 18-Volt Sub-Compact Impact Driver. The XDT15ZB has an efficient brushless motor with two speed settings and dual L.E.D. lights illuminate the work area. The innovative Assist Mode (A-mode) helps eliminate "screw cam-out" and "cross threading" by driving at low speed until tightening begins, and is ideal for driving longer fasteners. At only 5-5/16 in. and 2.6 lbs. (with battery, sold separately) it is an ultra-compact fastening solution with superior comfort and handling. Weighing in at only 6-3/8 in. and 2.8 lbs. (with 2.0Ah battery), the XFD11ZB has a mechanical variable 2-speed transmission (0-500 & 0-1,700 RPM) and dual L.E.D. lights to illuminate the work area. The brushless motor delivers 350 in. lbs. of torque, which is electrically controlled to provide constant torque and RPM's even as demands change. 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Impact Driver (XDT15ZB) It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. Do more with less.

In 1958, they introduced their first power tool –a hand-operated electric planer. This proved to be a decisive point in the fortunes of Makita. A few months later, they released a hand-held chaser which began a trend that is still evident today as a specialist manufacturer of power tools.
