A: It is not a hammer drill, it is a impact driver
by|Feb 4, 2023
A: yes, it is. and it is really powerful and makes no noise.
by|Feb 3, 2023
A: Impact driver is best at driving and removing screws or self drilling screws and bolts. Not set up for drill bits. It is light duty and wouldn't be good as a hammer drill in concrete.

Q:Can it loosen and tighten lug nuts?

Answer This Question
A: I don't think so. It would put a strain on the tool. Also the adapter you would have to use for the socket would probably snap. You would be much better off using an impact wrench.

A: i think it would tighten them, but would not break them.
by|Jan 4, 2023
A: No. For that you need the 1/2” impact gun
by|Dec 31, 2022
A: I have used it for lug nuts and had pretty good results - although there have been a few times that I needed to get a lug wrench out to break them loose.
Also, I normally like to go over them once with the lug wrench when putting them back on -- just to make sure--

A: Thank you for your question. The model number of the kit XDT131 model number of the Impact Driver is XDT13Z.
This Impact combo is great for the price. You get a 3ah battery, charger, bag and the Impact. I have seen Ridgid and Ryobi ones going for the same price and not even close to the quality of this Makita Impact.

Does the grunt work
6 Month review: The utility company I work for purchased 12 of these Impact Drivers for line service work to install 4" lag-screw anchors in building wood framing members (to hang electric service wires from utility poles). These Impact Drivers are light, powerful, balanced and ergonomic. We use an adapter and special socket in the chuck to drive the lag-screw anchors into new and old wood without pilot holes - just insert the anchor in the socket, hold the tool against the siding and squeeze the trigger. Takes 30 seconds at most and you can feather the trigger to stop the lag-screw anchor when it's in far enough. Ideal for one=handed use while belted in on top of an extension ladder.
The worst part about hanging service wires used to be starting a pilot hole with an awl and then turning the lag-screw anchor in by hand with a screwdriver as a lever in the anchor opening (awkward and tiring).
We tried using Driver-Drills for a while to install the anchors, but guys were overheating the tool for grunt work like this.
These impact Drivers take the extreme use and the batteries hold up. I keep a close watch on mine to make sure it doesn't disappear. Would not even consider another brand. Do the work every day and then you'll appreciate Makita.

This drill has excellent torque, incredibly long lasting battery life, and is an ergonomic carrying tool. I have used it day in and day out for several weeks since I’ve purchased it as a commercial carpenter apprentice, and I will continue to use Makita products because of how impressed I am with this drill. From putting steel screws into galvanized posts, to tightening anchor bolts, to small precise framing screws this drill is the one stop shop for all your building needs.

The makita 18v XLT has performed well have have only had to charge once since receiving almost 2 weeks ago. Getting some good use inside a dealership setting working on cars professionally. Gets into tight spots nicely, trigger is smooth and variable but be ready for power when fully depressed, Forward/reverse switch is nicely positioned as well. Battery is on the bigger side but It seems to just keep on going so it's something I will overlook. Great product at a great price. Bought while on sale.

I’m quite impressed with its performance. This Makita impact driver is powerful and cost effective for a 3.0 Ah battery and holds longer battery life. Bit heavy compared to other brands but worth for its performance. Only drawback charger is not as portable as I thought.

Excellent
Amazing impact driver has delivered and performed to every task I have asked of it.
However I realized why people love makita is that the tools are very well thought out, from the dual LED, ergonomic handle, battery indicator, speed of charge , ability to turn on light with out turning drill.

A satisfy and fun adventure
Last summer, I had a fun home project, to build a full-size deck in my back yard. During my research for style and technique to build this deck, Makita impact driver appeared in the research list, as a “must have tool for builders”. Firstly, I thought this is just another rebranded power tool, that the manufacture can trick people to buy for a higher price. However, after accomplished my building project with my Makita impact driver. This new tool’s performance changed my mind. The Makita impact driver was a surprisingly powerful tool, reliable and cost effective, however, its heavy weight and inconvenience to purchase was only two minor issues that I dislike about this product.
My first impression of this impact driver was small and compact tool compare to my regular power drill. Consequently, its smaller size made me question its capability. After screwed a few 6 inches long screws into a solid wooden post, I had no doubt about its performance. It was like cutting through a block of butter with a hot knife. To match it powerful performance, Makita impact driver has a 3.0 Ah battery, this battery has twice the capacity compare to other brands. During my project, the battery provided roughly 8 hours power, but some other brands provide two smaller batteries to eliminate the waiting time to charge battery. This extra battery may be important for a contractor to avoid wasting time beside working. However, my project was not under time pressure that I could just plug in the battery after a few hours working in my back yard and have a cup of tea.
Besides its powerful performance this impact driver is a reliable tool. Working outside, it was impossible to avoid dust or carefully operate the power tool like a delicate flower, but the Makita impact driver handled well in these conditions. It starts spinning every time that I pull the trigger.
With those great features from above, the Makita impact driver still is a reasonably priced power tool. My Makita impact driver was under $150, it fits my limited home building budget. Additional to its reasonable price and the quality of work improvement, the money was well spent.
To conclude, Makita impact driver is a powerful and reliable tool. Not only its reasonable price fits my home building budget, but also, its neat design enhanced my fun building experience. However, its heavy weight and inconvenience to access were minor problems to improve. This Makita impact driver has a simple task to put any size screws into any material. It will save the pain from force a screw into a log of wood or switch drill bit to predrill a hole to fit a large size screw. I will definitely give five stars to this product.

I got this driver in a 5 piece kit and have been very impressed with the power and feel of the tool... It is probably one of the most comfortable grips I've had on a drill/impact and I have had several... Even though I gave it full 5 stars I do have one negative, I wish they would have at least given it a 3 speed shifter. I know you can buy the XDT14z and get a 3 speed and a couple job modes, but just saying with such a nice tool why not give the lower priced a little love, maybe even a 2 speed... This is just a minor gripe as I know the the Milwaukee valued at about the same price has a 3 speed....But with that said the smoothness, power and ergonomics of this tool make it a very good buy and would say probably the best overall for the price.....
