Our verdict

A brushless 18V impact driver worth buying if you already own Makita LXT batteries, since this bare tool listing does not include them.

Overview

The XDT13Z is Makita's 18V LXT brushless impact driver sold as a bare tool, meaning no battery or charger is included. It runs at up to 3400 RPM and 3 amps, aimed at users who already own Makita 18V LXT batteries.

Because this is a Z model bare tool, the buyer needs an existing 18V LXT battery and charger for it to work out of the box. That keeps the price down for anyone expanding an existing Makita battery platform rather than starting fresh.

  • 18V LXT brushless impact driver
  • 3400 RPM, 3 amp motor
  • Bare tool (Z), battery and charger sold separately
  • 1 pound tool weight

Who it's for

Suits tradespeople and serious DIYers already invested in Makita's 18V LXT battery system who need another impact driver on the same batteries. Not a fit for someone with no compatible battery, since it will not run without one.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Brushless motor on Makita's established 18V LXT platform
  • 3400 RPM for fast fastener driving
  • Light bare tool weight at 1 pound
Cons
  • Sold as bare tool, no battery or charger included
  • Only useful to buyers already on Makita LXT

Performance notes

At 3400 RPM and 18 volts, the XDT13Z is built for driving screws and fasteners with repeated impact blows rather than steady rotation, which helps prevent cam out on long screws. The 1 pound listed weight reflects the bare tool body without a battery attached.
