Overview
Bare tool buyers know the Makita XLT01Z well: an 18 volt impact driver rated to 2000 RPM, sold without battery or charger. It runs on Makita's 18V LXT battery platform, the Z in its name marking it as tool-only.
As a bare tool listing, the XLT01Z is meant for buyers who already own 18V LXT batteries and chargers from other Makita tools, a common way to save money when expanding a cordless lineup rather than buying a full kit each time.
- 18 volt battery powered
- 2000 RPM rated speed
- Sold as a bare tool with no battery or charger
Who it's for
Owners of Makita's 18V LXT battery system are the natural buyers here, needing only the tool itself rather than another battery and charger.
Pros and cons
- Runs on Makita's widely used 18V LXT battery platform
- 2000 RPM rated speed for fast fastener driving
- Sold bare, no battery or charger included
- Not suited to buyers without existing Makita batteries
Performance notes
2000 RPM on the 18V LXT platform gives it enough speed for driving fasteners quickly in wood and light metal, with the usual impact driver tradeoff of less fine speed control than a standard drill/driver.
