Ideal for fastening in small places.
The motor is made by Makita and has 530 in.lbs. of Max Torque.
It has a variable speed (0-2,000 RPM and 0-3,000 IPM) that can be used for a wide range of applications.
A small angle head height of 2-1/8″ is good for working in tight places.
A large paddle switch with a soft grip makes it more comfortable to use.
When you buy the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Angle Impact Driver (model XLT01Z, the tool only), you get powerful cordless impact power in hard to reach places. When you need to do a lot of different things, the XLT01Z has a lot of power. It weighs just 3.9 pounds (with battery, sold separately) and has more than one foot of tool extension. Powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide battery, it’s part of Makita’s growing 18V Lithium-Ion series. This is the world’s largest line of cordless tools powered by a battery that slides. 18V lithium-ion batteries from Makita have the fastest charge times in their categories because they work more and don’t have to wait as long to be charged.
I wasn’t sure if I should buy this tool because it has a right-angle head and costs a lot.
I’m so happy I got it, though. A good driver even when it doesn’t have a right-angle head is one of the best out there. When you do need it, it’s so much better than any of the other things I’ve tried.
Much better than any of the screwdrivers I own, it drives screws much better than any of them. MUCH better now. That’s the only thing that could be bad about this tool: There isn’t a torque setting, so you have to be very careful. It can over-drill and break screws easily. This gives you a great sense of control and precision, but it’s up to you not to overdo it. I’m to blame for all of that.
Pull the trigger and start the game (pun intended). Buy this now. If you think you might need it, I can tell you that you will, and you’ll be glad you had it with you.
