- We take a look at the Makita subcompact 18v drills. Coming in all black the subcompact tools are designed to be 12v tool size, but use the 18v batteries. The performance is about on par with 12v tools, but not having to adopt another battery platform.
The XFD11 and the XPH11 are the same tool except the XPH11 has the hammer function.
Do more with less. The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless Hammer Driver-Drill Kit (model XPH11RB) is an ultra-compact drilling and driving solution with significantly less weight. The 18-Volt sub-compact hammer driver-drill 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 hammer driver-drill. The XPH11RB has an efficient brushless motor with two speed settings and dual LED lights to illuminate the work area. At only 6-3/8 in. it is an ultra-compact drilling and driving solution with superior comfort and handling. 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 18-Volt LXT and compact lithium-ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating star protection inside.
Compact and ergonomic design at only 6-15/16 in. L
Weighs only 2.9 lbs. with battery for reduced operator fatigue
Ideal for working in tight spaces
Mechanical variable 2-speed transmission (0-500 and 0-1,700 RPM) (0-7,500 and 0-25,500 BPM) for a wide range of drilling, fastening and hammer drilling applications
Dual LED lights illuminate the work area
Ergonomically designed handle with rubberized soft grip provides increased comfort
BL brushless motor delivers 350 in. lbs. of max torque
BL brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life
Efficient BL brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge
Electronically-controlled BL brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application
Convenient 1/2 in. keyless chuck for fast and easy bit installation and removal
Electric brake for maximum productivity
Extreme protection technology (XPT) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions

I have the none hammer version. I see many people bash on this drill but it’s a good compact drill with enough power. I have abused it and so far so good.
I have had 2 of these non hammer version for several years now and they are great for normal work. If I need more power then I have bigger drills but I don't want to drag that around an attic for some sheetmetal or drywall screws!
Wow, I like your channel. I wonder how the next generation subcompact drill and impact compare to the old ones.
this drill is my go to drill...I use it more than anything else. if I need some power, I grab the xph14
exactly! same here
OMG, the best , the great Makita drills, battery 's, the charger's.the powers.( Top to the roofs....
I just pick up the current happen drill and driver set to add to my Makita rack.
I wonder how this compares to the newer subcompact hammer drill (XPH15). It seems strange to have a hammer drill on such a lightweight and compact design to me but I typically use the hammer function on my drills
Great Vid! thx
Glad you liked it!
I have owned 2 Dewalt 1/2' hammer drills. The weak link on these drills is the chuck which regularly jams and the chuck design is so complicated that a novice cannot replace it and it needs to go to the shop for a chuck replacement. Does the Makita suffer from these issues?
I have a non-hammer version. I wish my set came with the hammer version because it's more useful. I guess I should sell one to get the other.

👍
You should get the 12v Dewalt, very compact, very strong.
Dewalt has softer clutch, but less power and runtime. Both have great balance, weight and durability.
Is this very good
Being that there are so many options for 12v or 18v compact drill drivers and hammer drills, how do the makita subcompacts hold up to the competition in terms of value, performance, how eager you are to grab this?
I think the value is really going to be in the eyes of the beholder. Because it’s going to depend on what you want and the platform that you’re currently in. For me personally, I run a lot of Makita tools so it’s a very simple value proposition for me because it’s all in the same battery platform. Although I do on Milwaukee m12 tools I usually don’t find myself reaching for their drills or impacts, because I’m more prefer the Ergonomics Month of the Sub compact Line from Makita.
But I also noticed a lot was the belt clips on the m12 line were very tiny where as the belt clips on the sub compact line from makita are significantly easier to use especially if you are up on a ladder or scaffolding.
Is there a significant difference in how the subcompact drills feel and perform between the hammer drill and drill driver?
I also noticed the belt clip was a bit too small. I was on a ladder the other day and I struggled to put it on my belt. So I used a pair of pliers and bent them to be much wider so they can more easily fit.
Very Jon
youtube deleted my comment. dang. i was just thinking there isnt any other tool with such a weak clutch for delicate jobs right? to the best option seems this thing, as gen 2 non hammer version. and as a bare tool, hopefully it is not too expensive.
yeah i think so far the best weakest setting clutches have been the makitas.. including the 40v xgt digital clutch
@@4thewinak @4thewin Bosch 12v brush drill, Skil 12v brushless Drill first gear softer than makita subcompact
makita can be used and abused and will last , i keep using these and they are awesome, now trying to upgrade to battery only tools , but too expensive now
