The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Quick-Shift Mode 3-Speed Impact Driver (model XDT14T) is a best-in-class fastening solution for users who want more torque, longer run-time and precision fastening features. The XDT14T delivers all of the above in a compact size with a superior power-to-weight ratio. The XDT14T combines a full 1,550 in. lbs. of fastening torque with category-leading precision features. Quick-Shift Mode uses the brushless motor’s electronic controls to find the best balance of speed and torque for each application for more efficient fastening. Another precision feature is Tightening Mode (T-mode), which downshifts, reduces rotation and impact speed prior to driving the screw into place and is engineered to minimize screw thread stripping, screw breakage and damage to work. These precision features, combined with 3-speed power settings, give users more control for a wide range of fastening tasks – from cabinet screws and deck screws to lag bolts and much more. It is only 4-5/8 in. L and ideal for work in tight spaces. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
- Quick-shift mode selector has an automatic electronic controller that downshifts and reduces rotation and impact speed prior to driving screw into place and is engineered to minimize screw thread stripping, screw breakage and damage to work
- Tightening mode (T-mode) for faster tightening of self-drilling screws; helps prevent damage to the screw or workpiece
- 3-speed power selection switch (0-1,100 / 0-2,100 / 0-3,600 RPM and 0-1,100 / 0-2,600 / 0-3,800 IPM) provides precise fastening control for a wide range of applications
- BL brushless motor delivers 3,600 max RPM and 1,550 in. lbs. of max torque
- Efficient BL brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge
- Features Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) which is engineered to provide increased dust and water resistance in harsh job site conditions
- BL brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life
- Electronically-controlled BL brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application
- Compact and ergonomic design at only 4-5/8 in. L
- Weighs only 3.3 lbs. with battery for reduced operator fatigue

I love my new impact driver. I am older female diy. I am replacing 31 feet of of old handrail on my back porch and adding 2 x 2 spindles/ballusters, all out of cedar. This impact driver works as expected like a dream. I charged one of the 5 Ah batteries and after days of work, it has not run out. This driver definitely has the power I need for driving in 3 1/2″ screws into 1 x 6 exterior trim, 4 x 4 pressure treated posts and all the cedar 2 x 2s, 2 x 4s.

Great tool, right for the job I bought it for.
Milo Adams (verified owner) –
I have only used this several times but it works as expected and very happy with the tool
Joana Sporer (verified owner) –
worth every cent, best on the market, I am a contractor I have been using Makita tools for the last 17 years, most of them are still working perfect
Osbaldo Quitzon (verified owner) –
Great tool
Jerrod Baumbach (verified owner) –
Very happy with the performance of this impact driver. I would recommend it to anyone. Much better than the basic impact driver.
Columbus Paucek (verified owner) –
Outstanding – would highly recommend
Ludie Graham (verified owner) –
already had the drill, so bought the driver only. so happy with the performance, and worth the extra to get metal gears. if you have the batteries already, buy this driver and not another brand for cheaper with batteries
Arvilla Stiedemann (verified owner) –
This product has exceeded my expectations. Right now I believe, you can get the impact driver with battery for 100$. I chose to buy this one instead because of the 3 settings that help out a lot.

Best impact drill I had bought in 10 years
Ladarius Strosin (verified owner) –
It did the job well.

My Impact driver is powered by older pre-LXT 18V Lithium batteries, BL1815, which work just fine for my home projects. Drives screws much better than a regular two speed drill. Drilled a few pilot holes in delicate materials using a 1/4 inch hex shank 1/8″ drill. I like this tool!
Trever Will (verified owner) –
I been using this brand for over 25 years for me is an excellent product.
Alessandro McClure (verified owner) –
Light weight with lots of driving force and a really bright on board work light.
Urban Satterfield (verified owner) –
I have had mine for some time when my 12v stop on me and I recommend the tool to any one who work every day driving screws or bolts
Rowan Prohaska (verified owner) –
This is my main tool at work. This is definitely an upgrade from the one that comes in the box set with the drill. It is quieter and seems to use less power. I would recommend it to any contractor.
Kathryn Champlin (verified owner) –
Great tool
Nathan Nader (verified owner) –
Great addition to my toolbox!
Jovan Runte (verified owner) –
This impact driver is very powerful. I used it to build a deck and it drove 8 inch screws with no problem. I have other Makita tools and am very satisfied. The Makita oscillating tool is a beast. It is well worth the money. You can’t go wrong with Makita.
