A sound pickup for anyone already inside the Makita 18V LXT ecosystem, since the bare-tool price only pays off once a compatible battery and charger are already on hand.

Overview
Sold as a bare tool with no battery or charger included, the Makita XWT14Z is an 18-volt cordless impact wrench weighing 3.09 pounds. It draws power from Makita's 18V LXT battery system.
This listing is for the tool only (the Z in the model number is Makita's bare-tool code), so the value case rests entirely on whether you already own 18V LXT packs. Buyers starting from zero should price in a battery and charger separately before comparing this against bundled kits.
- 18-volt cordless impact wrench
- Sold as a bare tool, no battery included
- Weighs 3.09 pounds
- Compatible with Makita 18V LXT batteries
Who it's for
Fits mechanics, HVAC techs and general tradespeople who already carry Makita 18V LXT batteries and want to add a lighter impact wrench to the lineup. Less suited to a first-time buyer with no cordless platform yet.
Pros and cons
- Compact at about 3 pounds
- Runs on the widely stocked Makita 18V LXT platform
- Lower upfront price than a full kit
- No battery or charger included
- Torque and speed figures aren't listed in this data
- Adds cost for anyone without existing Makita batteries
Performance notes
Impact wrenches deliver rotational force in rapid pulses rather than steady torque, which is what lets a tool this size loosen rusted lug nuts and large fasteners without the operator fighting the twist. Actual run time and torque output depend on which 18V LXT battery amp-hour rating gets paired with it, since none is included here.
