MakitaXDT18ZB 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless Impact Driver, Tool Only, Black

Tool is nicely compact and lightweight, as well as reasonably priced for what it is. Time will tell about long term durability. Unlike many very compact tools of similar class, this one has its motor part designed to be a lot more narrow, though somewhat longer. This can be very helpful in certain situations (but not in others). It is also surprisingly powerful. With the right adapter and a deep socket, it does remove even some fairly tight wheel bolts (up to 120 ft*lb tightening torque). That type of work is probably something it should not do on a regular basis, but for very occasional use it is very capable, though it's quite obvious the process then is quite noisy. Light on the front of the tool is bright and effective, and the trigger is easy to modulate.

So I've owned every brand and they all work ok usually came down to the battery when making my new gun purchase. Previously using a similar blue 18v Makita and already having a battery and charger I decided to try out the "black" Makita. Was disappointed at first that it didn't have the r.p.m my old gun had. What it does have is quality fricken bearings! There is literally ZERO play and wobble at your bit and after over a month driving easily 1k screws a day in the metal department at work there is still ZERO wobble or play at the bit and that makes all the difference. Also lightweight enough it dosent pull my tool belt down along with my shorts when working lol which is nice. Quality gun for sure 👌

I bought one of these a few years ago at home Depot. Not because I needed it but they had it on the clearance rack for half price and man I really did like it a lot but I unfortunately left it on a job somewhat out of town so I didn't go back for it. I've waited to try to find it again on the clearance rack but no dice so I came here instead and got another one. While it is smaller than the regular brushless Makita impact driver, it is actually a tad bit longer on the top part of it where you would put your chuck or whatever you're using, but that's not a big deal. What I do really like about it is it gives you the option to make it less aggressive so if you don't want to strip stuff out that's really nice. It has three modes of impact force: hard, soft, and assist mode. The item was listed as new and when I got it, it does look brand new aside from not being in the original packaging which is not a problem for me, it did have the documentation that would normally come with it when you buy it new. A great product and dealing with this seller went seamlessly.

Bought this on a whim. I use it for work. Is compact and light feels good in the hands and has enough juice to deliver. Used to be a Milwaukee guy but now I’m looking for reasons to buy more Makita tools. This gun converted me.

Stop no further, this gets all your jobs done reliability and in a very small form factor.

This drill is amazing. It’s a compact so don’t compare it to a big non compact drill. Use it for tight corners and love the power for its size

Lightweight and fits my hand. Powerful and I like the auto setting where it starts out slower, then picks up speed and power.Batter life is a function of the battery you have. One can always purchase a beefier battery.

Mal producto, es usado o defectuoso, la mía llegó torcida de la base rotadora ..
