Makita XLT01Z 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Angle Impact Driver, Tool Only

I like because I can converte as a wrench of 3/8 , 1/2 and as screw driver wit some adapters so there is not one but 5 different tools

I wasn't sure I should buy this- The right-angle head makes it a rather specialized tool, and it's relatively expensive.SO glad I got it though. It's an excellent driver, even when you don't need the right-angle head. And when you DO need it.... it's so much better than any of the other alternatives I've tried.It drives screws much better than any of my other screwdrivers. MUCH better. The one downside is that there's no torque setting, so you really have to be careful: it will over-sink the screws in a heartbeat, and it's broken off a few screws too. All of that is my fault: it gives you a great sense of control and precision, but it's up to you not to overdo it.Pull the trigger (pun intended). Buy this! If you think you MIGHT need it, I can guarantee you will, and you'll be glad you have it.

This isn't a driver you'll need very often but when you need it, it does a great job. First thing is that the bits you use need to have a longer hex shank, you can't just us a small bit by itself with the driver, you need at least a 11/2 inch bit to be long enough. I kind of wondered why it didn't have any torque settings but I don't think it really matters much. It doesn't hit as hard at the regular high end Makita drivers but that's good, less of a chance of stripping out the screw. I also thought it was a tad heavy but the heft actually works to your advantage. When gripped with one of your hands over the Hex end it's easier to drive with that extra heft.

I am a Emergency Vehicle Technician which uses this angle drill everyday. When you need to not break off a screw or bolt I will use this. It is strong but not too strong to not ream off a bolt or screw. It can get in tight spots and is very dependable. Buying a second one to have twoon hand to make my job quicker. Great product!Edit as of 9/1/23, I have three now!

Great for its intended purposeDont expect this to behave as a typical drill format impactI would equate to a palm nailer (great for use as intended)

Little background of my work, I'm an installer for business furniture and storage facility. Many times with rotary files and cabinetry they requires 90's which we just have the drill attachment. That's a 2 handed operation which is why I purchased this drill. It has plenty of power but no settings. the little glow in dark rubber attachment is nice to have but usually falls off. The button for forward and reverse is a little hard to hit for how inset it is but not to bad. Overall definite recommend if you're always in tight places needing only 1 hand tool.

Talk about getting into tight places! And impact no less... How many times have you used other right angle drill, w/ big chucks and found you had not the leverage in a tight space to just send a screw home? And now we own impact drivers for most screw sinking operations that don't pop out of the head when the going gets tough, and hardly ever ruin the head of the screw. So here we have this great right angle tool that has almost no head dimension, allowing us to get into tighter spaces yet, and it's IMPACT drive. Great! Love it.And I'm also now a huge Makita cordless tool fan, they just have such a stable of excellently designed and powerful cordless tools.I'm a finish carpenter of 40 years, and love this stuff!

I'm a contractor. I have a stable of Makita tools and I love the impact drivers. But, as small as they are, they just don't fit in some tight spaces. I picked this up when I was building a deck and needed to hang a bunch of Simpson connectors but couldn't get the impact driver in the space. This one did the trick and saved me a bunch of time and, I'm sure, more than a couple busted up knuckles. Glad to add it to the stable.
