About Makita XDT16Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Quick-Shift Mode 4-Speed Impact Driver
Overall Feedback:
84% positive
90% appreciated the long-lasting battery life
I compared the XDT16Z with my old Makita impact and found that the XDT16Z has better battery life.
The 5.0ah batteries last a long time.
83% appreciated the durable and rugged build
The Makita XDT16 has competitive power/speed and far exceeds any competition in weight, compactness, build quality, and comfort.
I have dropped the product quite a few times, even off a roof, but it still works and is very durable.
I feel that the cordless impact wrench is well-built, balanced, and has a nice trigger pull. It also has unexpected features and delivers enough torque for most jobs.
87% found it easy to use
Changing the torque setting on the fly is a great idea and it makes a difference.
There is a memory button that allows me to easily switch back and forth between two favorite settings.
83% liked the comfortable grip and design
I was amazed by the overall design of the tool. It allows for a massive amount of torque while being small and lightweight. The balance, grip, feel, and instant performance in sinking each fastener was stunning.
The Makita XDT16 has competitive power/speed compared to other units, but surpasses them in weight, compactness, build quality, and comfort.
87% praised for its performance
The trigger and ramp up speed of the Makita XDT16 is more responsive and usable than my previous DeWALT DCF887.
I find the speed controls excellent and useful, and I use varying options more than I ever thought I would.
On the lowest power setting, I can drive small screws without stripping or overdriving them using the XDT16.
89% appreciated the adjustable speed settings
I can adjust the torque as per my requirement with the driver's 4 different torque settings.
Adjusting the speed with the button right above the trigger is very convenient.
