Overview
The Makita XDT131 is an 18 volt cordless impact driver, running at up to 3400 RPM per the listed speed rating, in Makita's naming convention for its LXT battery platform.
At 7.1 pounds this is heavier than compact impact drivers marketed for one-handed overhead work, closer to a full-power tool than an ultralight trim driver. The listing gives an amperage figure of 3 amps rather than a battery amp-hour rating, so check Makita's documentation if you need to match a specific battery pack.

Who it's for
Fits users already invested in Makita's 18V LXT battery system who want a driver rated for higher speed output. Less suited to anyone needing an ultra-compact, lightweight driver for overhead or one-handed work.
Pros and cons
- 18V LXT battery platform compatibility
- 3400 RPM rated speed
- Cordless, no compressor or cord needed
- At 7.1 lbs, heavier than compact drivers
- Battery and charger details not in the listing
- Amperage listed at 3 amps, not a full battery spec
Performance notes
3400 RPM is a meaningful top speed for driving fasteners quickly, though actual driving speed also depends on the battery pack's discharge rate and the bit or fastener in use, not on the tool alone.
