Makita has a legacy of innovation in the cordless impact driver category and the 18-Volt LXT Brushless 4-Speed Impact Driver (XDT16Z) sets new standards. The XDT16Z offers users 4 speeds, as well as Makita’s exclusive Quick-Shift Mode for increased fastening control. Quick-Shift Mode uses the brushless motors electronic controls to find the best balance of speed and torque for each application for more efficient fastening. Another precision setting is Tightening Mode (T-mode), which downshifts and 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. The XDT16Z delivers industry-leading performance in a compact and ergonomic design. Added features include the 1 touch 4-speed power selector button under the chuck, which enables 1-handed speed changes and reverse rotation auto-stop mode which stops rotation and impact when the fastener is loosened adequately to help prevent over-loosening and dropped fasteners. Its part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt LXT system, the worlds largest cordless tool system powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries. Makita 18-Volt LXT batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. This bundle also comes with E-01672 Impact XPS 10 Piece 3/8 in. Drive 6-Point SAE Impact Socket Set w/Standard Socket Adapter and E-01650 Impact XPS 45 Piece Impact Bit Set.
- Quick-shift mode uses the brushless motors electronic controls to find the best balance of speed and torque for each application for more efficient fastening
- BL brushless motor delivers 3,600 maximum RPM and 1,600 in./lbs. of maximum torque
- 4-speed power selection (0 RPM to 1,100 RPM/0 RPM to 2,100 RPM/0 RPM to 3,200 RPM/0 RPM to 3,600 RPM and 0 IPM to 1,100 IPM/0 IPM to 2,600 IPM/0 IPM to 3,600 IPM/0 IPM to 3,800 IPM) provides precise fastening control for a wide range of applications
- Additional 1-touch 4-speed power selector button under the chuck for added convenience
- Assist mode (A-mode) feature helps eliminate screw cam-out and cross threading by driving at low speed until tightening begins
- 2 tightening modes (T-mode) for faster tightening of self-drilling screws in thick or thin gauge metal, helps prevent damage to the screw or workpiece
- Reverse rotation auto-stop mode stops rotation and impact when fastener is loosened adequately
- Built-in LED lights on both sides helps eliminate shadows and illuminate a larger area
- Compact and ergonomic design at only 4-9/16 in. L
- Weighs only 3.4 lbs. with battery (battery not included) for reduced operator fatigue
- Efficient BL brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge
- BL brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life
- E-01650 – Bits last up to 90X longer than standard impact bits
- E-01650 – Bits feature precision machined tips, pulse torsion rings, an optimized torsion zone and unique steel, combine to deliver improved overall performance and bit life
- E-01650 – Precision machined tips provide a superior full contact fit for improved holding power and longer life
- E-01672 – Sockets are made from heat-treated alloy steel for extreme torque applications
- E-01672 – Black oxide coated to resist corrosion for longer socket life

My favorite impact driver. Plenty of power for most uses, and a great deal of control and feel. The lights are bright and well-placed.

This impact driver is amazing! It’s on the expensive side, but hey, it is Makita’s flagship. I’m an HVAC guy and I’ve been using the black, subcompact impact driver and hammer drill for a few years now. I’m extremely satisfied with that set and it continues to serve me well in tight spaces. This impact is only marginally heavier and fatter (it is shorter) than the subcompact. Almost negligible. It’s nice to have that extra power if I need it and I love all the features, especially the self tapper modes when I’m screwing flue pipe together.Placed the order on a Tuesday afternoon and it was delivered Wednesday morning! Less than 24 hrs!
