Makita XDT11Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Impact Driver, Tool Only

This is the second drill I have purchased for my husband in the last several months. He trust the brand to always deliver a quality product at a great price and this was no exception. If required we will purchase this drill the next time as well. My husband says it is a very reliable and dependable product that performs well.

This impact gun is a beast and the low profile means that you can get it in many places that the larger ones can’t. This easily takes off lug nuts and other large bolts such as those on brake calipers and suspension components. It doesn’t have the torque to release crank bolts or CV axle nuts - for that you’ll need to look at the higher torque models. But for its size - it’s excellent.

I have compared my brushless version to this one and the torque is noticeably different. I bought a second one for a spare. It will snap a 1/4" bolt. The only thing I don't like about my original is the rubber guards around the driver keep peeling loose. I've had to glue them back and in some case I just cut them off out of frustration. I have beat the dog out of this drill and it still has the power of day 1.

I have other Makita drill motors with batteries.This is my second Makita drill motor and the quality is great.

The media could not be loaded. Sometime around the pandemic I bought a Makita grass cutter which came with two batteries and the charger. Since then I vowed that the next tool I buy will be Makita since I already have the batteries and charger.The impact driver seems to work as expected. I haven’t used the hand tool yet in a practical setting as I don’t need to as yet but will within the next few months. The light is very bright- brighter than expected. I can compare it to Total as I’ve used that driver to remove screws on a drawer. The light stays on longer than the total tool and is brighter than the total tool. They’re different price points so you get a little more with Makita compared to a more economical brand like total.I noticed that the driver feels heavier than the battery that I have.

I’ve been using the Makita XDT11Z for a few months now and it’s exceeded expectations. It delivers a solid 1,460 in‑lb of torque in a compact form. The LED light is bright, and it easily drives deck screws and lag bolts without stalling.

Seems to be a good buy, durability will not be known for a while

Great tool works great and love it
