18V LXT® Lithium‑Ion Brushless Cordless Quick‑Shift Mode™ 4‑Speed Impact Driver, Tool Only

Makita has long been a pioneer in cordless impact drivers, and the 18V LXT® Brushless 4-Speed Impact Driver (XDT16T) raises the bar. This tool offers four speeds and Makita's exclusive Quick-Shift Mode™, which uses the brushless motor's electronic controls to balance speed and torque for efficient fastening. The Tightening Mode (T-mode) reduces rotation and impact speed before driving the screw, preventing stripping and breakage. With a compact and ergonomic design, it delivers top-notch performance. The one-touch 4-speed power selector under the chuck allows for easy one-handed speed changes, and the reverse rotation auto-stop mode prevents over-loosening. It's part of Makita's vast 18V LXT® system, powered by fast-charging 18V Lithium-Ion batteries. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ ensure tool and battery safety. The tool can also use Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with Star Protection. Key features include Assist Mode to eliminate screw issues, a high-power BL™ Brushless Motor, and XPT™ for dust and water resistance. It comes with a 3-year limited warranty and requires genuine Makita batteries and chargers.

Using this impact driver is straightforward. First, make sure you've inserted a compatible Makita 18V LXT® battery with the Star symbol. You can use the one-touch 4-speed power selector button under the chuck to change speeds with one hand. For different applications, select the appropriate speed to get the best balance of speed and torque. When tightening screws, you can use the Tightening Mode (T-mode) to prevent damage to the screw or workpiece. The reverse rotation auto - stop mode will stop the rotation and impact when the fastener is loosened enough, so you don't have to worry about over - loosening. Always remember to use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to keep the tool running smoothly. After use, clean the tool regularly to remove dust and debris. Keep it in a dry place. Since it has Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), it can handle some tough job - site conditions, but try to avoid extreme dust and water exposure if possible. The tool, battery, and charger come with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any problems during this period, contact Makita for support.
