rjpcarpentry66's pick · Updated September 2026

Makita XDT14Z Impact Driver

Makita XDT14Z Impact Driver
The pick

Being a Carpenter & Joiner I need several go too tools . And my go to brand is Makita ! I was looking for a lightweight but powerful screwing type drill . So when I saw this one and checked up the reviews etc on it . And purchased one ( Bare body unit only ) as I had a lot of the Makita 18 volt Lxt batteries . So when I first used it couldn’t believe such a light weight tiny drill could possibly be as powerful as it was . It’s Absolutely a brilliant drill to use , it has an impact / hammering action when you screw into wood / mdf /plaster boards etc and becomes it’s so light you don’t struggle with working above your head on plaster boards etc work / ceiling battening and it’s a joy to use .The battery use seems to last ages before changin / recharging . And as regular user of this tool can definitely highly recommend it ! Go get one now you won’t be disappointed !
