The verdict
What the panel makes of it.
The Makita XDT13Z is a cordless impact driver made by Makita. Japan designed and built it. The motor delivers eighteen volts of power without battery included. Contractors and homeowners buy it for driving fasteners into wood and metal. Artificial intelligence currently ranks it fourteenth among impact drivers. It weighs three and one-half pounds. The chuck accepts one-quarter inch hex bits. This tool solves the problem of manual screw driving on job sites.

What owners single out
In their words
“Reliable, hard wearing, and easy to use. This beast will pound lumber and drywall all day, it has nice metal fittings, is small enough to get into tight spaces, and has a built in light to help in those tighter spots. I works with all the LXT range batteries so you will never be caught short if you have any of the other Makita LXT appliances. Do yourself a favor and get one today!”

“I got this driver in a 5 piece kit and have been very impressed with the power and feel of the tool... It is probably one of the most comfortable grips I've had on a drill/impact and I have had several... Even though I gave it full 5 stars I do have one negative, I wish they would have at least given it a 3 speed shifter. I know you can buy the XDT14z and get a 3 speed and a couple job modes, but ”
