The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Quick-Shift Mode 3-Speed Impact Driver (model XDT14Z, tool only) is a best-in-class fastening solution for users who want more torque, longer run-time, and precision fastening features. The XDT14Z delivers all of the above in a compact size with a superior power-to-weight ratio. The XDT14Z combines a full 1,550 in. lbs. of fastening torque with category-leading precision features. Quick-Shift Mode is an automatic electronic controller that downshifts and reduces rotation and impact speed prior to driving the screw into place. It is engineered to minimize screw thread stripping, screw breakage and damage to work. For faster tightening of self-drilling screws, use the Tightening Mode (T-mode) and avoid damage to the screw or work piece. These precision settings, 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. long and ideal for work in tight spaces. 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.

Best impact drill I had bought in 10 years

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!

Great Drill being using them for years in the shop and work great

Simple to operate. Good adjustable torque on power drill and impact tool. Battery life is very good, and charge station easy to use with visual indicators when battery fully charged.

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.

The price to power/durability is well worth it. I love Makita 18v brand, they have never let me down.

Love this little but powerful Makita impact driver. Been using it every day on the job for the past month. Drives in anything I ask it to with ease…ten inch lag bolts into pressure treated wood, no problem, and it could break loose stubborn nuts & bolts too. Fits into areas my other impact driver couldn’t. The 3 speed settings are great but to be honest I rarely use them because the variable speed trigger is so smooth. Battery life it great. I never had to swap out batteries on a 4AH, and I use this tool a lot… all day. It’s usually 2 or 3 days before the battery need to be recharged. Yesterday I accidentally dropped it onto some scaffolding about 12 feet down. No issues at all after the fall. Before I invested in the Makita platform I was debating between them and Milwaukee. Milwaukee makes some great tools but Makita is just as good, if not better in same cases. You won’t regret this purchase. All Makita cordless tools are super smooth and perform flawlessly.

Yes very powerful hammer drill and impact
Dimitri Stiedemann (verified owner) –
Light weight with lots of driving force and a really bright on board work light.

Great driver, lasts forever.

I bought this Makita impact driver to complement my old Makita drill. The first job I used it for was driving 6″x1/2″ concrete anchors, which saved my arms compared to the ratchet I was using. It has since come in handy as a dedicated driver while my drill is freed up to drill pilot holes.

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.

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

Very durable and powerful!

I been using this brand for over 25 years for me is an excellent product.
Jack Kiehn (verified owner) –
I like the lite wt and the 3 speed that lets me put electrical covers on with less chance of breaking. And they went back to the light they use to have that stays on a while without keeping trigger pulled.
Elva Hills (verified owner) –
Awesome! I was very leery about a battery operated grinder but, this thing has power. I bought 2 because my first one got stolen, and I use it enough that I needed another.
